Hit a deer tonight. Need new grill for 1998 XJ.

[DharmaDog]

I hit a deer tonight at around 40 MPH. Deer did not survive. My bumper suffered only cosmetic damage - no dents. My grill is missing a few fins now. Radiator looks good. No leaks yet.

Does anyone know where I could get a replacement grill inexpensively? My XJ is that Deep Amethyst Metallic color.

Thanks!

Junkyard? The nearest one to me has whole lot of front end smashed XJs, but Im sure if you look theyll have a fine one for ya.

Would you believe there isn't a single 97+ XJ in any of the local yards I've been to? I looked around a few months ago and found nothing.

I found a black one on ebay though. Would be nice to find one in the same color as my XJ, so I wouldn't have to paint it.

Blacks cool, just pretend its trail damage, then people will be impressed.

I already have trail damage, but this just looks like I don't know how to drive.

Well then Im all out of ideas.

Use the deer's antlers.

I'm only kidding btw

There is a guy on here named Davey that has all kinds of Jeep stuff. His email address is dl2217msn.com I just ordered some stuff off of him when my 1996 XJ was broken into. He's got everything you could possibly want for your rig. Tell him that you got his name from me.

Good luck,

Jamie
