i've seen black ones, but no chrome ones. too bad this style is not around for the jl models. since the jl model does not offer full protection.

this is basically what you will end up with for the jl. it'll protect the grill to a certain point. but not so good on the fenders.

I've seen those fold like a card board tube. They look more stout than they are.

yeah. like i told flipper "protection up to a certain point". i had a westin bull bar on my grand cherokee with a set of driving light on em. on night a freking deer jumped out in front of me and slammed in to the bull bar. luckly the bar saved the front end of the jeep. the hit was hard enough to push the bar back a 1/2 inch.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe @Sean L has this guard installed. Maybe he can provide input.

I used to have one on the Jeep.

During that trail run I hit the bottom end of it on a rock and it pushed the upper support arms into the grille, damaging the paint.

I plastidipped the grille after that and kept the Grille Guard on until I bought a takeoff steel bumper

I think a new bumper with the grille guard integrated into the design would have been a better choice. Something like the pic below... the one I got originally was just too flimsy for anything other than dirt roads and brush
