what did you pay for your grill?

[Heep80]

I'm looking for a grill and checking the local bone yards, and trying to find out an average price for all the goodies.. so chime in and tell me what kind and how much.. thanks!

[TexTJ209]

Depends on what kind you want.

It goes from Rhino...$$$$$$$$

To Pignose...."Dear God somebody buy this thing!"

[J10Joe]

bought a rhino in a junkyard for ten bucks, guy said take the whole front end. Ok.
Asked him what he wanted for the old holly on that 230, he said $20.
I left the carb.

[Heavy_Metal_Thunder_81]

I just bought one and a half complete egg-crate setups for $150 from a guy here...sweet deal I think

[Jeep_Guy]

I paid 5$ for a rhino grill from some guy who had a lot of old car parts at a flea market. the grill ist exactly in good shape but its not bad either and it looks great on my wall haha. I dont think he had any idea what it was he had, he just said he thought it came of an old jeep truck.

[J10Mike]

I paid $60 for a Rhino grille, faux covers, headlight buckets, and trim rings. The vintage 1965 headlights were free with the package.
Might I add...this was at a time when a whole Rhino set up was going for up to $600 on Ebay.

[Smith]

I got my rhino for free. The dang thing was attached to a truck, so got that free as well ;)

Amazing what a lil' bit of "help in return for that old truck of yours" will get you.

[uplandhawaii]

I just paid $65.00 for my Rhino on Ebay, in another auction that ended the same time another rhino went for $255.00. I also paid $10.00 for 2 complete 89' grille assemblies.

[Lindel]

I paid $900 for my pignose, but there was a truck and a new engine attached to the back of it.

[Tad]

All mine have been parts trades or free.

[KaiserMan]

Only Jeep grilles I've ever bought where Rhino's. One for $15, one for $20 (it came with a bunch of other parts as well) and one for $45 that came with the vent plates.

[Bob Davis '80 Chero]

Depends on what kind you want.

To Pignose...."Dear God somebody buy this thing!"

I paid $225 at BJ's for a new pignose. Painted it to be a '80 style. I wanted a new grille, BJ's has sold me one before; so that's just me.

[grand_wag_85]

For the Rhino I paid $20 but I also got a whole lot of other parts from the boneyard with it. I had to climb into and thru a whole stack of cars just to get it.

I traded my XJ for a pignose but there was a whole tuck attached too;)

[shimniok]

It's BBQ Grill, not Pignose. :rolleyes:

I paid $20 for a couple of Razors, one with headlight rings the other without, both in fairly decent (but not perfect) shape.

DIDN'T Both of them Leak ATF?

[janie]

DIDN'T Both of them Leak ATF?

YES!

Don't you have a truck load of GREEN beans to unload somewhere?:p

[Heep80]

I almost won a razor minus the head light buckets and that went for 20 on the bay.. alot of dings though. but I saw a couple in the boneyard, i think they want top dollar(from what I heard)...kinda getting some ideas.

Am I the only one that actually LIKES the pignose grill?:rolleyes:

[Heep80]

NO,NO,NO...this isn't pimp my ride.. it's ifsja! you must have confused them! lol.. and i do like the pignose..

[TexTJ209]

Am I the only one that actually LIKES the pignose grill?:rolleyes:

I don't mind them at all when they are in good condition (i.e. no chrome flaking off on the entire grille, not cracked in half, etc.), but find one in that condition...I dare you(other than BJ's that is). :p

[badaboom]

Muscle grills
I have 4 surrounds and 3 inserts.
3 surrounds with jeep(top center), 1 other
Surround Condition: 1st NOS, 2nd - 90%plus and 3rd about 70%
Surround other(black inserts on top center)- NOS
3 inserts, Chrome, Gray and Black

Ok - I'll take that dare: fly over to the UK and you can inspect mine:D ; surprisingly (considering the state of the rest of the jeep) it's actually pretty good. I see what you mean though - a broken pignose looks horrible- worse than Michael Jackson's, if you'll excuse the pun.

Is yours one of the black ones with the center horizontal chrome stripes? Those are the best ones..

No your not-I like it too:D I just paid 199.00 to teamgrandwagoneer for a new reproduction grill for my '91 but of course I have to have the black striping and inserts done.

Picked up a pignose for my '79 in perfect shape for $8 at a PNP. Not a crack or flake in it. There were several there to choose from.

Got a muscle grill for about $12 at a different PNP yard. Flipped it on da'bay when I decided not to use it.

A very decent razor from a member here for around $30.

The 3 rhino setups I have ranged from free to $700. All of them came with complete Gladiators attacted.

[Headhoncho]

$500 boobie grille w/401 wag attached
$85 muscle grille
$35 dull razor
$125 for polished razor and j-20 tailgate
$25 for rhino w/slight crease
$15pr. vent covers
$85 for 3 j-truck tailgates $45 first one great cond, $25 second one ok cond, $15 third one could be considered NOS, all 3 from different vendors at the same car show.

Would I have paid over $200 if I didn't. 'course that makes two of us!

[DanHS]

I got an older muscle grille (the one that says Jeep on it) from a member for $35, a junkyard wanted $75 for one, and then crushed the J10 it was on that had good parts :mad:. I've never seen an intact picgnose in the junkyard, I'm surprised mine was intact.

[drlocke]

I paid $5 for my grill at a yard sale, and the gas cylinder that went with it was 2/3rds full...:thumbsup:

[67Wagoneer]

Paid $50 for an immaculate dull razor. Came with headlight bezels too. :thumbsup:

[BRUTUS]

Free... Rhino... Glad grandpa decided to get a gladiator for a farm truck in '63.

[goldhammer]

35 for a razor and doors, rhino in primo shape was free, along with the front panel and hood. In the neighborhood of 75.00 for the headlights and rings for it.

There needs to be a 12 step program for these pig guys. :rolleyes: I paid $1400 for a pignose once with a good 360, 727, 33s with wheels, 1 year old Skyjacker lift, and a crap load of other goodies attached. First thing I did was bust the nose so I could get the hood up! :eek:

There's a guy here with a marginal but complete rhino front end. Wants $200 for it. He wants $100 for some equally marginal razors.

[H Callaway]

$245 or so off Ebay for a super nice Rhino. Sold one on Ebay off my truck that was very nice for $200+ to a member here. All of us were happy! Still have to detail out the Badge that is painted black.

[8379qtj10]

I paid 20 buck and a steering box for my PERFECT razor front end.
Grill and header Panel.

[18cherokee]

I also paid $10.00 for 2 complete 89' grille assemblies.

**** :banghead:

[uplandhawaii]

**** :banghead:
I thought it was a good deal, they are complete and are in excellent shape. One is wall art at the moment and the other will go on my waggy if I decide I get tired of the rhino look.;)

[Heep80]

just got out bid on a egg crate, went for 135.50.. wayyyy too much!

[duracell]

i got a full, last style grille assembly for 40.00 but it came with a nut meg cargo cover, and the dash trim for i needed for a 98 kia sephia i'm gonna sell

[JeepNOFEAR]

I bought my grill with bezals for $50 on ebay.

[Kali]

I bought a muscle surround with "Jeep" on it from a junkyard. Along with a rollbar, bed liner, front fenders + nose panels, and a ton of other misc. parts it was $200.

Just bought a muscle insert off of ebay for $27.99. Brand new reproduction.

[fulsizjeep]

As you see, the prices vary with style and demand. My bOObie grile was free, but we paid $60ish each for 2 cheese grater grilles last year. One included the hood latch and hood bar. Then you have to consider shipping. Last year I also sold a very nice 78 Cherokee razor grille, hood bar, hood latch, light buckets & bezels for $150 and the shipping was up there around $70.

[Marvin Gates]

$27 for the rhino, vent covers and valance panel below the grille so I didn't have to cut off the brackets that mount the newer type grilles. Its the one in my avatar pic. :D :D

[scantar]

Well...I had a Rhino donated by sj2dr74 (Thanks again, Doug! :thumbsup: ) along with some other stuff and was delivered safe and cheap. Thanks again, Mike! :thumbsup:

And then I bought a 2nd Rhino...but that one came with the covers, headlights...and the fascia...well, the whole front clip really...and a purring 350 and new old BFG's and clean interior and a straight clean box and perfect chrome bumpers...and well, to tell you the truth I'm just kinda ashamed to say how much that one cost. :)
