Default update on sloppyjoe mesh grills

talked with the fab shop i deal with for work.

a couple of the head fabricators are also off road guys. i am gonna bring in my stock grill this week to take dimensions from.

thinking of a aluminum frame work with mesh. powdercoated black or any color someone might want. or chrome.

mesh for my prototype will be open enough to mount lights behind the grill in front of the radiator.

if anyone is interested once the design is done let me know.

So, have you removed your grille and copied the shape including the trim on the lower end that extends out from the bottom of the grille towards the lower part of the head lights?
