Looking at all of these makes me wish someone came up with a bantam tribute grille:

Jeep Wrangler JL Which grill? Its hard to decide. 1649798876267


Basically a strong top horizontal element for the Jeep (or Willys) branding. A dozen or so vertical wires, and maybe a black painted mesh to emulate the large openings to the engine bay.

I like that grille, and could finally add my high clearance fenders with its integrated turns signals.

Ah, that is just the lights..not a grille.. still bookmarking that for later!



Looks like it's just a stock satin black grille with the interior screen panel removed and that light kit. looks good https://www.moparonlineparts.com/sku/82215114.html
As far as the Satin Black Grille, the page you references that is a direct replacement for all Wrangler JL's but Sport and Sport S models must order molding kit... So this grill should fit on my 2022 Sahara without any issues or modifications? This grille looks really sharp on a red Willy's so I want to swap my red grille for this black grille.

That would look great! The black grille looks really good on white/red imo. I plan to go with the satin black myself on my sting gray.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
I would rather choose the smoker grill combo, you can grill, bake, broil, smoke, roast, and so on. And you'll save some space in your patio or garden (especially if you want to have a smoker and grill together) https://lilgrill.com/best-smoker-grill-combo/ look at the first one, with the best rating, the price is a bit high, but the steaks are great. I also have one. when I've seen my neighbor roasting steaks, then immediately wanted
Hey it's Stanley Cup Season, so this grill looks proper!!

Those "wires" are actually flat barstock. I'd guess about 1/4" thick by 1", from that picture.

I'm not a fan of steaks on a pellet grill. Nor do I think a grill is a good smoker. I've had an offset barrel smoker, komados, webers, gas grills, pellet grill, etc. My current deck has a RecTec RT700 with a smoke box, a gasser, and a 18" Bubba Keg komado. I don't think I'd ever be down to just one type. But, if I had to go to just one device, it'd probably be a 26" Weber kettle with modifications like the Weber E6 Komado or just get the E6. I have a 26" Kettle NIB with a Smoke N Sear that I would like to set up. But the jeep and truck have priority right now.

A friend once said the same to me and I proved him wrong when I dragged out my Weber kettle out. And to further prove that point, the Weber Smokey Mountain is simply a Weber kettle with an insert to make it taller to allow for additional levels. One level is another food rack and the other is a water/sand bowl. The Smokey Mountain is an excellent smoker (with or without the water/sand bowl).
