        I haven't been looking for a cheese grater for very long but they are WAY harder to find than a Rhino. Its probably all part of a vicious cycle- next up...the 86-91 final edition grill- start stockpiling!

              OK you have me convinced I am going to do this grill swap out. I just yanked my bumper off tonight to get rid of the square fog lights and it looks good without them. Are there any mysteries one needs to know about when swapping to a Razor grill? Mine is an '89' Wagon.

              Thanks

                I took the Valance behind the grill from the donor Cherk when I did it the first time. IIRC there are some tabs to be moved and some to be added. I'm sure someone will chime in with the details.

                Some old guy started arguing with my wife over what year Waggie it is. She said he was being real rude about it. She basically told him she knew what she had and to piss off.

                Thanks again.

                    That's the way to do it. I just have to find a valence that is in good shape to do the same to my 88. A member here was kind enough to pass along a really nice razor to me. It is hanging on the wall in my garage patiently waiting.

                    I sort of like the hole above the grill. If there was a little more clearance over my aluminum cross-flow radiator, i would run some sort of ram-air hoses from there into my intake. I think it makes it look a little meaner.
                    One day I will wake up and realize that my jeep is complete...one day, I just know it.

                      actually Jeep never made them: muscle grilles with round headlights!

                      but the razor is a pretty good swap, looks great

                          Looks great. I think full wood grain rigs look awsome with razors.

                            ::sigh:: I have it all in the garage, including the brow. I just can't seem to get up the motivation to get it done. Seeing this one makes me think about it again. Looks really nice.
