How we build // YJL grille

OEM-Plus Engineering

We engineer Wrangler parts from OEM materials to enhance factory fit and finish, then put them into production tooling. We call that OEM-Plus.

Materials

OEM materials

Every OEM-Plus part starts with the same materials the factory uses, so it matches the look, texture and durability of the parts around it.

Fit

Factory fit

We scan the factory part and design to its mounting points and contours. Parts bolt into the factory mounting points.

Finish

Better than factory finish

We iterate each part until the fit and finish beat the original, then lock it into production tooling built in the USA.

The process // 4 steps
  1. Engineer modeling the YJL grille in CAD

    Digitize

    The YJL grille is scanned and modeled in CAD against factory JL mounting points.

  2. Machined aluminum production mold for the YJL grille

    Tool

    Machined aluminum production tooling, with the UUO mark cut into the cavity.

  3. First injection-molded YJL grille

    First shot

    Injection molded in automotive-grade Hifax TPO, the same class of material used on factory exterior trim.

  4. YJL grille being test-fit

    Fit + finish

    Each grille is cut from the mold, test-fit and packaged, then delivered to you paint-ready.
