You noticed that they raised the shipping cost to $45. They told me it's because UPS costs too much to have kept it at $33. $20 is for handling. ![]()

Still, $66 is a good price and a bargain, but the shipping & handling makes up for the retail price. I bought a Stull aluminium billet grille for about $98 retail from a 4X4 parts dealer and stainless steel is much stronger than billet aluminium. I still plan to buy one after I sell my Stull one.

Since I needed a grille for the 79 driver I'm putting together I also ordered one from 4x4parts. They told me $44.95 delivered so we'll see what arrives. Hood latch? Maybe will be a problem but I'll also make it work one way or another.

Mine, from 4x4, came today. A little bent from our friends at UPS it looks as if it'll straighten up OK. For less than $45 bucks delivered and especially "Made in USA" I think I like it.

Holy Sh@t !
I just received the griil and it arrived SO BENT TO HELL I could not believe it ! This grill is not even worthy to put in your ex 'ol lady's ride if you know what I mean. I called customer service and they told me this was a one time thing and they would contact me and send me out a new one so I will post back with the results........

I bought one of those 4Wheel Parts grilles, also. Mine was in great condition, no problems. For less than $45 I figured I could chance it. Tomorrow I'll see how it installs......

Do those have mounts for the turn signals in them?

oh.. another thing.. for all those worried about the hood latch..
It covers the whole completely.. the only way to open the hood is by sliding your fingers in after you pop the latch and pushing the hook over to the left.. ![]() |
