I'm curious if the inserts are replaceable. I know I can buy a whole new grill, but I'm only looking to replace the broken mesh. I would even go with the straight bar looking inserts like the z71 and I'd like black if possible. Unfortunately thru all my searching I haven't been able to find just the inserts only a whole grill. My mesh broke due to some wood thrown up on the highway so seeing if anyone has any links to places for just the inserts80f8083d06698c61cd0e9b01fa0db96b.jpg

Just have to buy locally on Craigslist or the marketplace. They’re not sold separately. I’m in the same boat. I want the high country inserts to swap into my grille.

Yea I've been searching FB marketplace and cl. I see some on there but can't swallow 3-400 to replace the whole grill for a cracked mesh insert. Would love either of these 2 grills but just want something not broken. Lol.
Thanks for the link. I never saw this site. Definitely appreciate it

Might check with some local body shops to see if the have any broken grilles out back in the junk pile you could rob the honeycomb out of for a couple bucks.

I’ve got a chrome set of inserts (like in your first pic) that I’d be willing to get rid of. Just let me know.

I've got a set of the high country inserts.   I tried putting these in my 15 LTZ z71 grille and it did not line up right.   PM if interested

What year are the inserts from?

Does anyone know if this is doable on the 16 to 19 grille too? My lower insert is broken in one spot and if I could get away with just replacing that, that would be great.

My 2016 also has a crack on one part of the grill from something kicked up on the highway. Luckily nothing got broken off, just cracked. I had looked into replacing and seems like the entire grill would need to be replaced and that would be expensive. But I have seen "inserts" that are supposed to fit right over the existing grill. Much more economical but I have been too lazy to try as I'm the only one that knows where to look and see it. Here is just an example of one for the upper in black but chrome ones can be found as well. I'm not recommending this seller, just showing it to you.

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
