Folks, up for sale are a few prototype rhino grills. These are computer cut heavy gauge sheet metal replicas. The design needs revision, so the fit is not perfect on these. They will NOT do for a restoration job and purists (and Flint) will likely find them objectionable, but if you just need a sharp looking grill to get your trail rig back into the good graces of your missus, then these may be just the ticket. They come un-painted and the welds were hot enough that there the metal bulged a tiny bit on the outside (visible face) of the grill - these can likely be sanded out, but were minor enough that in the grill visible below, I just painted over them. I will work on getting some shots of the backside of the grills to show the welded-on mounting bracketry.

These are fairly heavy and will cost a bit to ship (from 83709) so keep that in mind. We are liquidating these at $50/ea.

Here's a painted version on my J20:

Wow - this is an old post.

UPDATE: THERE ARE NO GRILLS LEFT

Yes, they have all been sold and we are not making any more. As far as newer models, there probably won't be any (at least from me). These were kind of a proof of concept deal and the concept was not really proved, so it was a dead end. There ended up being too much hand-labor involved in the production with the current design to cover up a failure in the original concept. So...sorry....

Shipping from the Netherlands would have been interesting you would have wound up spendin $20 to keep from buying the real thing & saving a proverbial dime.

As stated before at one time thse guys were makin custom griles & pie plates modified for lights ETC. they no longer do that. Maybe he has some surplus. He made my pie plate adaptors & told me then he had no market & was going to stop 2 years ago.
