Rugged Ridge Spartan Grille with Skull Insert; Satin Black (07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK)

Video Review & Installation

Hey, guys, I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com, and this is my review of the Rugged Ridge Spartan grille fitting all 2007 to 2016 Wranglers. This is a very polarizing mod. Some of you are going to love it, and some of you are going to absolutely hate it. One thing's for sure, if you want to completely change the look of the front of your Jeep, this will definitely do the job. The Spartan grille is new from Rugged Ridge. While it shares some styling cues with other grilles that have this eyebrow design, this is completely unique. The Spartan grille gets rid of the seven slot iconic Jeep design in favor of this mesh grille up front. The grille ships with the black mesh, but if you want a different design we have American flags, we have a star, and we even have shark's teeth if that's your thing. Getting into the actual design of the grille, these are injection molded just like the OE grille so they'll hold up to stone throws on the road and tree branches off-road. Let's get into the install. This grille could not be any easier to get on the front of your jeep. You only need two tools, a screwdriver and a razor knife. This is designed to fit in the factory location using the factory hardware on all the factory mounts. The only trimming that's necessary is to invert the factory ambient air temperature sensor and a little bit of trimming around the headlights, especially if you have LED headlights installed. The whole thing gets finished off with factory like weather stripping on top. The install should take you less than an hour. Like I said, this grille is not for everyone, but if you like the style and you want to completely change up the look of your Jeep I think you found your next mod. This grille is really well built. It gives you the opportunity to customize with different mesh inserts, and the install could not be simpler.
