    I recently joined T4R in the hopes of finding some local members with 3rd & 4th gen 4Runners to scope out for fitment of a Satoshi style grill.

    If I can find me some guinea pig runners I'll see what I can come up with. :cool:

    More to come....

    Meeting with a local T4R member with a 03 Sport 4Runner this coming weekend to see what can be done... I believe this is a 3rd Gen 4Runner...

    It's just an experiment.;)

    I can pretty much do the 05-11 grills in my sleep at this point.:eek:

    Figured I'd just try something different for a change since there is always a bit of down time while waiting for the Painting or powder coating batches to be completed.

    96-02 is 3rd gen
    03-09 is 4th gen


    3rd gens have three different grilles. The 96-98 version, the 99-00 version and the 01-02 version. The 96-98 is the one commonly used for satoshis as it is a very simple job with that one.

    The 4th gens have 2 different grilles, 03-05 and 06-09.

    Homer,

    If you can make a Satoshi grill for a 3rd gen 4runner the same way as the one in your current sig I'd buy it in a heatbeat. Well, maybe.. depending if the price tag isn't freakishly big!

    Oh and I forgot to mention that they are all interchangeable on the 3rd gens, I dont think that is the case with 4th gens though. But I could be wrong.

    I has 2003 4Runner. :D Bad news is that the 2003 has a different grill from the 2004-2009 4Runner.

    [​IMG]

    I also have a 2nd Gen (2005-2010) Tacoma grill in my shed. I was going to Satoshi my Tacoma before I sold it, but didn't want to do anything to the original. It is already cut in spots, but it is definitely still usable.
