Reviews for Rugged Ridge Perforated Grille Screen for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Best looking grill insert on the mart as far as I'm concerned. Very solid design, easy to install. I did add some more zip-ties to aid in a solid mount, but I don't know they were really needed.
Easy to install. Looks great and will protect radiator when off-roading.
High Quality Grille Screen. Took literally 15 minutes to install, and that included about 3 minutes of my own apprehension at removing the grill :).
Looks great, easy to install, and quality built. Once again, Quadratec delivers an excellent product.
Looks great!
Looks great. Super easy to install. The hardest part was getting the grill clips back in and it wasn't too bad. Hopefully will hold up to rocks and debris
Great looking option. Install was really easy, didn't take long at all. Very happy I chose this item.
Looks good, no problem, would purchase again.. thanks
Nice fit..easy install
Dramatic improvement in JK grille aesthetic. Grille Screen is Bad A%#, Quality and finish seem decent. Great price comparatively. The hardware packaged with this screen is Stupid. No other word for it. Stupid
Instead of packaged hardware; Used Six 2"(L) X .75"(H) X .75"(W) UHMW plastic blocks (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight polyethylene)(MSCDIRECT.COM Item # 52433463 UHMW - RECT BARS 3/4" X 3/4" X 5'-- $21.73)epoxied to the inside of grille with JB Weld 50132 25Ml Plastic Welding Syringe (AUTOZONE - $2.50). Probably only needed two plastic blocks screwed and glued to hold screen to grille.
Drilled 1-3/8-inch hole in Grille Screen to accommodate Tuffy Hood Lock (Quadratec). Painted hole edge in screen to protect cut metal.
Attached the Grille Screen to the UHMW blocks with Six #6 1/2-inch Stainless Steel panhead sheet metal screws and washers AFTER drilling holes in the blocks.
Used rubber grommet, plastic cap and 18ga wire to retain cap (boogerd up ends with epoxy, so won't pull through holes in grille or cap).
Rubber Grommet: 1" I.D., 1-3/4" O.D., 1/16" Panel Thickness, PK10 ( Grainger $13.88/pkg. of 25) Plastic cap
Plastic Cap: 1" 1 inch Flush Mount Black Plastic Body and Sheet Metal Hole Plug Qty 10 (by Caplugs Amazon PRIME $6.89)
This seems to be a very nice Quality screen. Way better look than tape-on inserts. Grille/screen is more secure from theft with hood lock. Huge improvement to Stock JK grille aesthetic. Seems sturdy enough to protect radiator/AC condenser from debris damage without restricting airflow. Still way cheaper in cost than other screens even with additional mounting costs. Well worth it. Bet the farm, it will last.
Like the grill insert a lot! Goes well with the Jeep and I really am enjoying the new look. I am a novice at installs so it took me a bit longer. Minor drilling needed for two holes. You will also have to take off your stock front grill. All new to me so I took my time to do it right and remember how to put it all back together. :) Picture submitted for you to see as well.
