Not sure what I'm doin with the red one. I'll see how much I use it between now and when the economy gets better. I offered it to the wife and she said no  :(

The "squares" are starting to grow on me... but I am thinking of a TJ grill. I hear they are pretty much a bolt in with only the corners of the hood showing any gaps.

Man... jeeps are like heroin... but I dont need to tell you guys that  :D

A CJ grill would look awesome on that rig.

CJ grill... never thought of that.

What I really need right now is a 90" wide trailer (regular ball/bumper hitch). Don't really feel like dropping $7K on a brand new trailer. I'd rather score a used one for $2K->$3K and spend the difference on Jeeps ;)

I did a little web research and it would appear that a TJ grill swap requires just a TJ grill... and works with the YJ hood and flat fenders that are on the Jeep. The CJ grill swap requires grill & hood and may not work with my fenders.

So unless I am mistaken... the TJ grill swap wins on both looks & simplicity of the swap 8)
