    I want one of those skid plates bad, they look sick....I like how they go up high on the bumper...I wish the Canadian dollar wasn't so terrible right now. Hope you ship to Canada

    I noticed that some of the more recent pics have the logo on the driver side of the grill, but earlier pics only have TOYOTA. Is this a recent change, or an option...? I like the smooth look more.

    Not a fan of direct knock off products. It's fine to make something similar but change it up to make it your own.

    Just what are you talking about? RAD is the only one with this pattern with a full bar across the middle with Toyota letters welded on the bar. Plus there are no rivets like the other grills have. DB Customs also has the same pattern, but the way they did the center portion is completely different. Rigid also uses this same cut pattern, but also has their unique design. Many different companies use the same patterns regardless if it's laser cut or mesh. You can name 10 different companies using the same exact mesh patters on their grills. Not one company has a right to a pattern.

    Don't give a damn if it "knocks off" anything. I like it (minus the logo hole :thumbsup:). There are similar products out there, but none appeal to me like this one does IMHO.

    Maybe someone can help me understand, but why is it so difficult to match the Tacoma font from the back tailgate? Does Toyota own the rights to that font? Or it just doesn't scale well when put onto the grill?

    It's still different. Rivits, fonts, backing plates, ect. Who knows who did it first anyway. RAD came out with this particular design back in November while DBCustomz just posted your above pictures 2 weeks ago on their Instagram so who's copying who and who really cares. You started this same bullshit between Pelfreybuilt and Demello in another thread. Go troll someplace else..

    Still really like the grill, but I'll have to wait for a sale or group buy.

    HINT HINT!

    I think most people can tell the difference between your grills and those other ones. I definitely don't think your looks anything like those others and is honestly my favorite.

    How are you liking the LED bar? Was it worth it and did you install LED headlights and fog lights too? I really like the look man! Great touch

    Wrote to Dan this weekend. Skid Plate is no longer being offered at this time. Even for a local pickup. Real shame since IMHO this was the best built and visually pleasing to me.

    I hope he starts up again making them or offers the Combo (grill and skid for 850 shipped again).

    Love it. Looks and works great. Left the headlights and fog lights with the factory bulb.

    Anyone else have something like this happen? The "A" popped off while driving yesterday. Got out of my truck when I got home and when I walked inside I noticed it was gone.

    Holy crap! This should be a good test of their customer service skills. Interested to see how this gets worked out.

    Good luck!
