    FWIW, when I buy vehicles, I always install a hardware cloth bug catcher behind the grill to keep the condensor and radiator clean and efficient. This will save you much more than the cost of a roll of 1/4" wire and some zip ties. You may need to use several pieces like a puzzle to make it easier. Don't have to be perfect either anything helps. Especially good for many of your big opening grill styles. Some of them might let a hummingbird squeeze in. Maybe it won't help for those of you who insist on lifted mall crawlers. Myself, and my trucks are highway travelers, so it makes them last and we pass those overheated on the highway frequently.

    Got any pictures? Do you swap out the cloth once it's full of bugs?

    Do you really need picture of screen wire mesh behind a grill to get the concept?

    You're not fooling us, we know you deal in the product. Classic marketing tactic.

    Nope it is heavier guage and has more spacing. Similar guage to chicken wire if you can relate.I use 1/4"

    What about social media not always telling you what you want to hear? Or is that only for the rest of us?

    No it was about members finding ways to avoid tragedies. I suggested visual reminders as a mod to improve our society.

    Worthless until on a hot day your a/c can’t keep up because the damn condenser is plugged up with insects and other debris.

    Apparently.... :notsure:
    I do. I figure if you are going to take the time to start a thread on a great DIY cheap mod, might as well post a few pics, link to buy from HD, show how it attaches etc.
