At the very front of a Jeep sits one of the vehicle’s most iconic parts: the grille, which helps create the “face” of the vehicle. Behind it lies something that helps ensure the vehicle stays running: the radiator. If you have ever wondered about the partnership between these important components, read below as we explore the relationship between grilles and radiators. What Do the Grill and Radiator Do? Before discussing how the grille and radiator work together, it is important to define each and their roles in your Jeep. The grille covers the opening in the front of your Jeep and helps the engine stay cool by letting air in and out. As for the radiator, it is part of the Jeep engine’s cooling system. When your engine heats up by burning fuel and moving parts to create energy, your radiator will eliminate that heat by sending coolant through the engine to absorb it. Afterward, that coolant will go back to the radiator. How Grilles Help Radiators Cool Off The relationship between grilles and radiators is very important because one helps the other cool off. When the heated coolant returns to the radiator, it must release that heat to the outside. Although the radiator will do that through fins, the grille will add to these efforts by letting in cool air. This helps your radiator and engine cool off and prevents your Jeep from overheating as you are driving. How Grilles Protect Radiators The grille also plays the important role of protecting the radiator as you are driving. It can prevent rocks, pebbles, and sticks from hitting your radiator and engine parts. This will help your Jeep will stay in much better condition. If you are looking for Jeep JK grilles that will help keep your radiator and engine cool, contact us at AM Off-Road. We’re ready to help you protect your Jeep from overheating while adding a sense of style. Check out our selection today!

Blaney, who was one of those punted into a spin soon after a restart in the closing stages at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas, believes there is a better way to avoid the chaotic scenes of the triple overtime attempts on Sunday. It took almost an hour for the final 10 laps of the race to be run. “It’s just the Wild West right now on that side at a few of those tracks,” said Blaney ...Keep readingView the full article

When Brad Keselowski’s Ford Mustang pulled off with no power in the Esses with 12 laps to go, it unfortunately spoiled what would’ve been a fascinating endgame over who had sufficient fuel to make the finish to a thus-far excellent stock car road course race. Could anybody beat race dominator Tyler Reddick – who had the fastest car but was clearly managing his pace to save fuel? Last ...Keep readingView the full article
