    I noticed a 2012-13 Hunter Grill Guard on ebay, so I emailed them to see what it looks like...first they tell me this:

    "Unfortunately we do not have any pictures on the newest model Tacoma. The guard though is the exact same one you'd be receiving that is pictured on the older Tacomas... the only difference is the upper supports will be different to accomodate the new front end.

    Truck Gear DirectOffice hours Mon-Fri 9:30am - 4:30pm central time."

    Then they tell me this. I have emailed them like 10 times asking for the photos

    "They do have a inwards bend... we can send pics of where they mount on the new 2012/2013 Tacomas if you'd like. Just respond to this with your email and we'll shoot them over if you're interesting in seeing them.
    Truck Gear Direct "
    Anyone seen one?
    I am thinking if it looks similar to this, it will look great and match the lines of the 2012. I am just trying to make an informed decision before I something for the front end. [​IMG]

    I wouldn't trust it until they can cough up an actual photo.

    If my truck is going to be used to beta/fit-test parts, those parts WILL be free.

    Those things cause way more damage than they save.
