Review on 🚙 Rugged Ridge 11401.31 Grille Insert, Black Mesh for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK by John Invert

Update: 10/25/2015 I just traded in my jeep for a newer Rubicon and am getting another of the same. The one I have in 2007 has survived car rides, mud swamps, rock crawling and more. Never came off and never had any problems for 3.5 years when it was there. Update: 03/11/2016. I just installed another one on my new jeep. I seem to have blocked how much it costs to install tiny nuts and bolts after you drill holes for the standoffs. The top ones are fine, but the bottom two require you to poke your finger in a very small spot to hold the nut in place. The length of the bolt is about the length it takes to go through it and just reach the nut, which is very frustrating. Considering the little alcove is a good half inch deep, there's no reason not to use a longer screw so you can actually fit it in there - I did, and the extra length is hidden by the plastic. Given the possibility of a do-it-yourself mode with gutter guards and zips, I went with this mesh grill insert instead. The price wasn't much more than the cost of materials, and since most methods of protecting gutters require reinforcement after they fall, I was drawn to the way they were secured. The product description says no drilling is required, but the instructions clearly state that only 4 holes need to be drilled. The brackets must be fitted with the bolts and nuts provided and there are no matching holes. Instead, prepare to drill 4 small holes - 2 at the top and 2 at the bottom. In addition, it is a very durable product and looks good. This helps protect the radiator fins from larger debris that they tend to suck up when you're out on the road.
