1984-2001 Jeep XJ Cherokee Grille Inserts & Overlays

Classic styling gets personalized through 1984-2001 Jeep XJ Cherokee Grille Inserts & Overlays that transform your Cherokee's iconic seven-slot face while protecting the factory grille from trail damage. These accessories range from subtle mesh inserts that maintain the original design language while adding texture and modern appeal, to aggressive billet overlays that completely change your XJ's character, creating everything from refined street appearances to aggressive off-road presence depending on your vision.

 

Your XJ Cherokee's grille customization should reflect how you actually use the vehicle and the overall aesthetic direction you're pursuing with other modifications and exterior changes. Mesh inserts provide excellent protection against rocks and debris entering your radiator area during trail runs, though they can slightly reduce cooling airflow that matters during sustained highway speeds in hot weather with air conditioning running at maximum output. Billet overlays make bold styling statements that work beautifully on show trucks and street-oriented builds, but their solid construction blocks even more airflow than mesh designs, making them less suitable for vehicles that see hard desert running or heavy towing in hot climates where every bit of cooling capacity matters. Color choices between black powdercoat, polished aluminum, and body-matched paint affect whether your grille insert becomes a focal point or blends into your Cherokee's overall design—contrasting finishes draw attention to the grille itself, while matched colors create a more integrated appearance that emphasizes your truck's overall proportions.
