Coveted Heritage Grill

[bjf]

I have a friend that is in Germany on business and out of curiosity I asked if he would go on one of my idiotic land rover part hunts for the Heritage grill. He went into a dealer who said they had a bunch left over. I am getting one but wanted to know if anyone else wants one. I think they have 5 or 6 in stock and will be between 350 and 400 bucks.

Now if I could get someone to go to Brazil for the rear rubber mat.

[Flagg]

That is a cool grill! But a lot of money :(

Flagg

[bjf]

Yeah it was limited. Considering the piece of crap RN ones that use to be floating around were 150 I guess it isn't that bad.

[imeek]

I'm potentially going to Brazil later this year. I was there about two months ago.

[tomaco1]

Could you get the name of the place, In case I want to get one later on. I want one but can't spend $400 right this second

[BEIS]

can't you get these from ebay UK? Or am I mistaken? I'd also like to know the name of the place as well. Thanks man!

[tomaco1]

I've checking ebay UK for a while, nothing.

[Rugbier]

Barry,

Do you have a pic of the rear rubber mat and possibly a part number?

I make no promisses ( as my sister is a tad of bubble *LOL* ) but my sister is in Rio right now , she will leave on Monday to return to Argentina.

As for the grill, I will get the quantity left and figure out if just makes sense to buy the 5 the place has and bring them back. My friend is traveling through Germany through Sunday

I really want a stage I V8 grill.

[FlaD90]

I have always been on the lookout for these grills on eBay but have never found one, please let everyone know what the name of the place is....I have my D90 apart right now & in the final stages of paint.

How much to make another one?

[imeek]

If you are up for it, and the price is right, I'll take one too. JL, this could be a side business for you. :)

[JBOD77]

barry, If you bought them and laid them down for a while, I'd be in for one also. Little pricey right now with the baby coming in october but a couple month after that, no problem. My Stock one is hanging on by a thread.

[bjf]

Yeah I am just going to tell my friend to grab them.

thanks guys. Once I get a hold of my friend I will know when he will be back and will update everyone

[JohnsD90]

the defender would fit it, its what the grill attaches to, so i guess it would be an all in one

[tomaco1]

I sent the PM a few days ago, hopefully on the list.

[bjf]

$350 after the exchange rate but it came with the badge so not so terrible. Still got two if anyone wants one.

[D90user]

Those look great... but too much for me.

Are they metal or plastic?

[bjf]

Metal. I think stamped aluminum. I have one left if anyone wants it.

[Mark Anderson]

Barry,
I'll buy the last one if still available. I'm in east central Illinois, zip 61832. Please let me know preferred method of payment.

shot you a PM. 2 to go

[JBOD77]

Received mine yesterday. Installed last night. By far the coolest 5 minute upgrade Ive mad on my 90 to date. Thanks so much Barry. I'll post pics once she's washed.

[tomaco1]

Got mine yesterday, Thanks Barry. it is awesome, I'll post some pics tomorrow.

[pendy]

I do not want to spend that much on one. But whoever spoke for them before he brought them in needs to cough up some money for their part.

[GaryBaxter]

I do not want to spend that much on one. But whoever spoke for them before he brought them in needs to cough up some money for their part.Absolutely; that's a pretty crappy thing to do. Maybe Barry should out them so no-one else gets stuck.

[tomaco1]

I bought mine! And can try and help with a ringing endorsement. The thing looks awesome, much better than the black stainless one I took off. It was pricey, but I think it was worth it because it makes the whole front of the truck look more finished!

If Tomaco bought one speaks highly of the grill. He is on a budget build and would not put money out like that unless there is some real appeal. My take on it anyway.

Trying to sell it out from under me JP ?

[bjf]

Doug shot you an email. I think they are now all accounted for pending payments.

Few things. One guy sent me some questions and was all pumped but maybe that wasn't a confirmation. I never got a check and he no longer responds to PMs. (Fairly infrequent poster) Another guy though I am going to say was a bit douchey. I am not going to out him but I will quote him. I waited to mail everyones until I had most of the payments to save myself the going back and forth. When I asked him where his was, his response was "No, I didn't got back Friday from Europe and forgot about it actually.... Do you have anyone else that wants it? If not, I'll buy it but low on priorities now."

I really don't care but if you say you want something then step up. I could have nto wasted the time and someone else could have gotten it. I am noticing this with people who are new posters more than anything. I know there are poeple who are infrequent posters and are always on but just commenting on these few people. I was actually going to mail them all before I got the checks but hesitated and now am kind of glad I did.

[tomaco1]

OUCH!!!!!!!!!If Tomaco bought one speaks highly of the grill. He is on a budget build and would not put money out like that unless there is some real appeal. My take on it anyway.

[Lesandjes]

I look forward to mounting mine up when it gets here. Thx again for doing this for everyone Barry.

AndrewT

[Manimal]

Really nice.

Still a bit too steep for me (my wish list is too long) but it looks great.

[ajh]

My favourite stock grille for sure, but seems wrong to buy one just to cut out a space for the winch. Guess making one from scratch is in the cards.

[Rugbier]

After I saw Doug's , I have to have one...

Yeah I know, wait till my check not only arrive but clears as well *LOL*

[bennett]

Anyone need one of these? I got the last one for 350 plus shipping, but im selling my truck and think it's probably worth more off the car than on. No rush to sell. It hasn't even arrived yet.

Barry,
I'm assuming complementary giftwrap is included?

[cgalpin]

I could use an old plastic one if anyone has swapped theirs out. It will be cut to accommodate a winch so doesn't have to be high end.

[Rugbier]

Charles, as soon as mine arrives I let you know

[bennett]

Sold! Thanks

[bjf]

Horsey,

Yours is going to have special packaging

[specops1526]

Are you going to pack it with hay? A little added bonus to snack on.

[bjf]

I assume the grill will hang around the hore's neck with some sort of a rope or something.

[Ren Ching]

wow has there been a development we don't know about?

I assume the grill will hang around the hore's neck

I've actually decided I'm just going to build the truck from scratch...starting with this grill...so get it to me fast so that I can start!

[bennett]

Thanks again josh. If you decide you need the rest of the parts, i have a truck for sale. I guess if you wanted to you could use it as a parts truck, and take everything off of it and attach it to the new grille

[Heathbarcrunch]

hey Horsey boy, You get the grill , I could throw in a wheel that I have... you only need about couple of hundred more parts and your in business. The wheel is no boost, so don't get too excited and has a tread or two left in her. I got a guy , who knows another guy who who does something awesome, but I cant remember what he has or does...
Sorry for the hi-jack...Its cold, snowy, rainy here is New Jersey.. why do I live in New Jersey again?

[bjf]

I learned in 2001 to get out of New Jersey. Granted it poured in LA today. Poor me. One day of rain a year.

[fredo]

I guess I missed the boat on these - but just in case, is there still one available?

[rijosho]

Well, the grill arrived while I was in NC for the long weekend. Even though the packaging (thanks for the decorations, Barry, haha) said DO NOT BEND all over it, they definitely bent it vertically...bastards. The bend created two super-weak points in the grill, but I think once it's screwed in flat you won't really be able to tell, except for the two kinks.

[bjf]

horsey boy. you sure your horse didnt step on it?

[rijosho]

That's what it looked like! I bent it back pretty straight, but there are still kinks on both sides. I haven't had good luck with shipping anything to NYC, it sucks.

[rijosho]

Finally got this thing installed tonight before this hail storm that's supposed to hit. I took some before and after pics for anyone still thinking of getting one. Did anyone else who installed one have this issue of the grill sticking out from the top? There's obviously no screws up there, so I was thinking of running a zip tie behind the Land Rover badge or something like that. It's probably because of my A/C, but just figured I'd see if anyone else had this issue.

Specops, what does yours look like at the top?

[bjf]

Is the grill bent? There is no reason it should stick out like that. Is your fan screwed up?

[specops1526]

Yeah, looks like your grill is still bent. It should lay flat against the grill surround.

Keep bending it until it's flat, use a table if you have to to check it.

[bennett]

Damnit, now i want one. Wised up and never sold the truck, but now i cant find one of these with the badge.

[bjf]

Damnit, now i want one. Wised up and never sold the truck, but now i cant find one of these with the badge.

I might be able to get some. If 5 people ask nicely I will call my friend

[bennett]

I would love one barry. If you end up getting your hands on a few, just let me know where to send the check/paypal. I promise not to resell it this round :)

Yeah but what doesn't look cheap on a defender or on any land rover???

I have been looking for one and would defintely be in.

Maintenance costs. Those don't look cheap at all.

Ha! exactly...

[Ren Ching]

Cheap? I'll tell you what looks cheap.

"ALL THE PLASTIC CRAP"

I think the Heritage Grill is a damn sight better than any of the other sheet metal grills out there that come with oval or other odd-shaped holes that bear no resemblance to any aspect or feature in the entire history of Land Rover design. One the Heritage Grill, the square openings and the ratio of open area to mesh thickness is much closer to the old series grill than any other non-standard defender grill I have seen. The SS one I sold to Lane was pretty good in that respect as well, but I didn't like it for other reasons. The best case scenario would be a Stage One grill, but those are rarer than rocking horse shit so aren't really an option.

The plastic grills looks like bloody shite when they are faded and cracked and hanging off the front of the truck. That won't happen with a metal grill. Though I wish the Heritage grill was steel so that I could get it hot dipped.

You sure have some interesting views given that you have been driving around in the Partridge Family bus for a few years now...

:) :) :)

Did you ever order these? Cracked my grille and looking for a replacement.

[rijosho]

Clarence was asking about my bent grill repair. Forgot that I never posted my fix for that. Just used a black ziptie above the heritage badge. You cannot notice it really. Looks great!

Horsey I don't get why you need zip ties. just take it off and bend it straight

[rijosho]

you don't think I tried that?

It didn't do anything.

[bjf]

Try sitting on it or try using your powerful calves to bend it.

[rijosho]

Go make a paperclip straight, and I'll go try that.

[bjf]

Go make a paperclip straight, and I'll go try that.

Are you saying I have weak legs?

Anyway I have one extra grill if anyone still wants one. For 20 extra I will rhinoline it

[rijosho]

Make sure you bend it BEFORE transport.

[bjf]

only if it goes to you

[maleger]

Hi, I got a Wolf grill from ebay UK for about 134 GBP (shipped). I like it. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=179836&id=659930764

[willr]

How much for the last grill??

[ajh]

If anyone might be interested as an alternative I'm working on doing an all aluminum version of the stock-looking grille, obviously it'll look significantly better and one of the design requirements is that it both be able to take a significant rock hit and have the bars un-boltable so that they can be replaced if damaged, and removed if you're say installing a winch that needs clearance, as well as probably options for the 90mm Hella aux-lighting right in the grille similar to how the SVX has them (I think it's the SVX).

I dont have another but one person has not paid yet so you never know. I see you are in MB. I am in hermosa. What truck do you have? color?

[d90lvr]

I have the yellow one on manhattan ave and 1st street. The grill would look great and I could pick it up at lunch.

Which one do you have?

[bjf]

Ha I know you. I stopped when you were washing it. I was in a BMW but I have the blue one and the 110. I drive by daily. Let me see if I get the final payment.

[d90lvr]

That's hilarious. I remember that! I would love to see your 110 one of these days. Can I check out the grill later today?

[bjf]

I live on Monterey so you can see the 110 anytime. I don't have the grills in my hand right now but Matt who is also on your street (white SW) has one from me if you want to see it

Decided not to keep the Heritage Grill on my truck. Just couldn't see enough of it for me to be happy with it. My badge is hidden to much, blah, blah , blah.
Its sad because it looks so much better then the pos I had on there before. But in any event it is up for sale. Only had it on my truck for about 100 miles so it is in pristine shape.
