Hey, what's up, guys.
I'm Ryan from Extreme Terrain and today I'm here with the Under the Sun Grille Inserts
Paws Old Glory, fitting your 2018 and up Wrangler JL.
It's for the JL owner that's looking to change up that appearance just a little bit with
something that's very affordable and easy to install.
This particular design with the American flag and the paw prints is perfect for those of
you that are patriotic and have pups.
These are made with very high-quality materials.
The insert is stamped out of heavy duty aluminum.
They get very tough and strong, a lot stronger than the stock one and they are printed with
a UV ink that's designed to not fade.
The whole thing is powder coated and clear coated ensuring that it is corrosion resistant
and lasts you a long time.
Now, just like your stock ones, these are perforated so they're gonna allow plenty of
airflow, but they also have smaller holes in them that's gonna keep all that debris
out of your grille.
One thing I would like to point out...these won't work with aftermarket grille inserts
or if you have an intercooler lurking underneath of your grille.
Installation is very simple.
These slide in right behind the grille and the grille actually holds them in place so
we don't have to do any modification to the grille and they are designed for a perfect
fit.
Now, there's many options to choose from on the site and at just around $135, I think
this is a great option to go with.
You're getting something that's very simple to install, fits perfectly, and not only that,
it's made right here in the U.S.A and comes with a one-year warranty.
As far as installation goes, I am gonna give this a one out of three wrenches on the difficulty
meter, as you can get this thing installed in about 20 minutes just using basic hand
tools.
Now with that being said, let's hop into the install.
Tools required for this install, Phillips head screwdriver, flathead screwdriver, T20
torx.
So with this install, we need to remove our factory grille because we're gonna switch
out those inserts.
First thing we're gonna do is pop our hood and start with the disassembly.
So with all those push pins removed, the top of our grille is free, so we're gonna pull
this out and away, choose the clips down here, we're just gonna pull that grille out and
then remove it from the vehicle.
You just want to grab underneath here.
We're just gonna pull firmly to disconnect that at the bottom.
So we got our grille off, we place it on the table and the next thing we're going to do
is take out our factory inserts.
So you're gonna need a few tools.
You're gonna need a flathead screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, and a T20 torx.
So you have these little white locking tabs in here.
We're gonna start with these first.
So we're just going to press down on this white tab here, and then we're gonna slide
that out the other side.
We'll do that for all four of these.
So after that, we're gonna use our Phillips head screwdriver, and we're going to take
some of these Phillips head screws off.
We have one here down at the bottom.
So we'll move on to the other side and then remove these Phillips head screws.
After that, we're going to take our T20 torx.
We're going to take our torx bit screws out.
So you got all the hardware removed from this.
Next, we're gonna have to disconnect all of these little tabs that are actually holding
this grille in.
So we're just going to go around and free all those up and pull this whole piece in.
We'll pull this center section out first.
Then we'll work on these two inserts.
So these pieces are just going to pull out all by themselves.
Pull these out and set those aside.
Now, we'll do the same thing for this section.
We'll need to pry these little locking tabs back.
So now we have the stock grille inserts out of there.
We're basically ready to reinstall this.
After we install this, we're going to slide that new insert in just like a cassette.
So we're gonna clip this bottom in first on the Jeep.
So the next thing we're to going to do is pull our grille out and slide our new insert
in from behind.
So now we can push our grille back and reinstall our push pins.
So at this point in time you are all done so you can close your hood.
That's going to wrap up my review and install.
