Will the 2024 Jeep® Wrangler Grille Fit Your Current (JL) Without Mods?

YouTuber Answers The Question...

For decades, the iconic Jeep® Wrangler has been a symbol of ruggedness and off-road capability. With the 2024 Jeep Wrangler (JL) release, the brand stays true to its roots while incorporating new design elements. One of the fundamental changes is the updated seven-slot grille, which has been given a modern twist. In this article, we’ll explore the new grille design, its compatibility with previous models, and the option to switch back to the classic look.

The 2024 Wrangler showcases a sculptural design that pays homage to its traditional Jeep lineage. The refreshed seven-slot grille maintains its distinctive appearance while sporting some notable updates. The black textured slots, neutral gray metallic bezels, and body-color surround exude a refined aesthetic that blends well with the vehicle’s overall style. However, it’s important to note that grille variations exist across different trim levels.

Jeep engineers have not only focused on aesthetics but also on improving the vehicle’s functionality. The new grille’s slimmer profile enhances cooling efficiency while accommodating the factory-installed Warn winch, available exclusively on Rubicon models. This feature provides added convenience for off-road enthusiasts who frequently find themselves in challenging situations.

An exciting aspect of the new grille design is its compatibility with previous models. Matt from Dirt Road Cred had the opportunity to examine the 2024 Wrangler grille at the 12th Annual Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler, Pennsylvania. According to his observations, the new grille can be easily swapped onto the current 2018 to 2023 Jeep Wrangler (JL) and 2020 to 2023 Jeep Gladiator (JT) models without any modifications. This provides an excellent option for Jeep enthusiasts who may prefer the classic design or wish to customize their vehicle’s appearance.

Not everyone will instantly embrace the new grille design. As a response to potential critics, the ability to switch between the 2024 grille and the previous design is an attractive feature. It allows owners to personalize their Wrangler or Gladiator according to their preferences, ensuring that each vehicle reflects the individual’s unique style and taste.
