Shipping has gone bat shit crazy, I'm trying to ship rear fender liners to a forum member, they weigh all of five pounds and I have been quoted as much as $127 
Who has made a wall decoration out of a Jeep TJ grille?

I make rustic American Flags from wood strips. I had someone who wanted one shipped to NC. It was about $85 and about the same size as a Jeep grill overlay.
I keep wanting to pick one up and when I finally do I’ll rig up some LEDs in it in a cool pattern to evenly light behind it since I’m a nerd.

Haven’t decided yet so it’s just kinda there!! Love some of these ideas, kinda kicking around idea of using “messenger boy” bench frame legs from daddy’s old Western Union office with grill for back. That sit in front of shop but don’t tell Cindy, I’ll just surprise her with it!!!

You better hurry I think it’s required to have at least one in your shop to be a “real Jeep guy”!!

Looks great! Love it!I don't have but one that I did anything with... All the others are stock for now.
Being from Colorado I painted a Colorado flag on a CJ grille that I will be giving away tomorrow for the BFH Garage youtube channel. The second pic is what I started with... It gets worse. I told my wife I'm an art collector

Old thread but I started it so now I'm bringing it back to life. I cant believe how long it's been since I got this grill. Lots of projects since then. I finally found a good deal on headlight buckets so I installed them with stock TJ headlights . I wired them in series to a 12 volt battery. Wiring in series lowers the energy usage of the lights but more importantly the light output. I dont want the lights blinding anyone. It turns out it's the perfect amount of light even at night. Once I figure out where I will hang it I will re-purpose a transformer for a more permanent power source.

That actually looks brighter than our factory lights.
I should do some sort of lighting with the two I have.

I'm assuming your excuse for not doing so previously wasn't insufficient power receptacles in the vicinity....
Not a TJ grill but I have a CJ grill hanging on the garage wall.
I also made 1/2 scale TJ grills out of 1/4” thick MDF and painted them random colours as gifts and door prizes a few years ago

I have an old CJ grill on the wall. Retrieved it from a junkyard. It cost me about 20 bucks, complete with the lights.
I thought about slimming mine down as well, but it's becoming harder to find good grills. The aftermarket doesn't make them, so you have to source them used. I've already replaced one. Oh crap, I just realized I have a third red one that's beat up. I really do have a problem!
I needed a new one, and they are indeed hard to come by in good condition. I responded to a bunch of ads where they were all torqued in some way. And still asking $200+. Please don't destroy a good one.
