    over the past few days i have made a mesh grill for my 00 tacoma i made it like the way a grillcraft is installed but it cost me $180 less than a grillcraft grile so tell me what ya think!

    pulled out my grill and this was my makeshift grille for a few days haha
    grill001_40e6a0e9725469232a3de00c20419cdc57df02a0.jpg
    got a 6ft by 3ft mesh for $6.50
    grill007_fb2a50bfaa1ae65b381009558db277137f5738f8.jpg

    Is that Toyota emblem off your truck? It looks good, but kinda small. But hey, you can't beat a free Toyota emblem.
