While I like aftermarket grilles and modify everything I own, I just can’t justify spending 2500 on a grille.
Clearly I’m not opposed to spending money on mods. I’ve already got $102K in my 2017 Jeep and just spent another $20K on wheels, axles and new lift kit.
Great looking grille, just too much for my taste.

Steve. Nice look. I love the black inserts so much I've asked John how much to swap my chrome ones out for black.

Looks really nice. I like the chrome lug covers too, sets off the black wheels. I obviously went with all black grill and lugs. Love the look.

Anyone that has $102K in a Jeep has more money than brains.

It’s not hard to do. Start off with a brand new Rubicon, add a lift, wheels tires, bumpers and a $30K SRT 6.4 Hemi and you’ll easily run up a 100K bill.
Sitting at my shop is 12K in new axles, 7K lift and new wheels. You know what Jeep stands for... Just Empty Every Pocket.

Nope, just like my toys. 85 mph, 420 HP jetski, frame up ‘71 el Camino with LS-1, hummer H2 with 940Hp Duramax, 202HP turbo 4 seater Rzr.
I like fast toys, what can I say? Nothing to do with more money than brains, if you can afford it, why not?

No, I actually wanted Rock Jocks but three of my buddies have destroyed them and told me to stay away. I ended up getting Dana 60's with floating. RK 5.5 with outboarded coilovers.
Sorry, we need to get this thread back on track. Love the grille, just out of my price range for a grille.

LOL, you know what I mean. Sure I can afford it but in my mind, I can’t justify spending that on a grille for my RV. I could take that 2500, add $6K and put a supercharger on that 6.4 in the Jeep. LMAO
Justifications... LOL

It's okay... we all choose to spend our money where we want. It's not like I live in a shack and therefore I spend my money on vehicles, I could have bought almost 4 DX3's for what I paid for my house. I just like my toys like so many others on here.

I will admit that I likely overspent on my house. But this was the 3rd (so wanted it right) and we wanted land so no neighbors could build next to us and I wanted it to be like vacation when I went home...so my $$$'S are spent on tech.
I had to have a theater room and I have an app to control just about everything, all connected to Alexa. So I can voice control most lights, my bedroom fan (because my wife will not get up to turn it on once she is under the covers), my sprinklers, garage doors, car start. If it can be app controlled, it likely is. I'm sure a waste of money to some.

Ditto. Seems like every time I post something about a mod there's someone who has to rain on my parade. I just let it roll off my shoulder. Right, wrong or otherwise it's just people saying what's on their minds.

I handle the Facebook page as well and I HATE when people come on there "this paint is ugly"...and its a custom color someone did.
I just want to say"Well, when it is you, spending your money, then I hope you choose the colors that you like and you don't have someone telling you how ugly they are".
Too much negativity these days. Everyone's a critic. Its the Puritan way...lift yourself up by lowering others.
