Construction & Design

The Sportsman X Grille Guard is constructed from high-quality steel tubing engineered to withstand the rigors of off-road driving and everyday use.

The 1-5/8" outer tubing is precision-welded and coated with a textured black powder finish, offering superior resistance to rust, corrosion, and environmental wear.

Westin’s design philosophy emphasizes both form and function. The grille guard’s contours are crafted to complement the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s front end, enhancing its aggressive stance without obstructing airflow or sensor operation. The removable mesh panels provide versatility, allowing you to customize your setup with additional lighting or maintain factory sensor functionality.
