I was strongly considering changing the grill on my Big Bend because I hated the look of it, but I came across some grill inserts on Amazon and I think they drastically improve the look! Just posting for anyone else in the same boat

FYI; the amazon product listing shows theyre attached with double sided tape but mine snapped in with plastic tabs, there was no tape. They are numbered on the back to tell which spot in the grill they fit into.

Agreed, my least favorite grille style.
However, those inserts go a long way toward helping it out.
Good find!

I kind of wish someone made a big open grill with billet insert like I used to have on my 90s broncos... I really liked that look.

I think I saw someone a while back make a home made version of this - looks good; much better for sure!

I like the look, but think about cleaning the bug guts out in the summer…

it looks like its the same pattern as the Badlands Grill. I wonder if theyre close to the same diameter holes?

Agreed, my grille is by far my least favorite thing about my bronco. Thanks for sharing. I being a ceramic coat will help with the bug guts. I did all my plastics, including my grille and haven't had too much trouble spraying the bugs off.

No bad at all.

Did your BB come with a capable bumper? Or did you switch it out?

I switched it out. it was cheaper it buy one off here and pay for shipping than buy a cheap aftermarket one. I put the OE skid plates on it as well using my Ford points

Currently Unavailable.
But for 50 bucks, I will keep an eye on them and give them a try when back in stock. The BB / OB grill is quite ugly, when viewed against other options, IMHO.

Nice detail change. I clicked your supplied Amazon link and it says no longer available. Figures!

I've been half considering finding a BB grill and these push me more towards it.

Pop em off and put them in the dishwasher!
