    Mannn, that sucks!
    Is the USPS playing kickball with these grilles or what!?
    Sorry to hear about your bad luck, hope it gets resolved soon.

    Yeah I'm just saying, the thing is packed to the point where I felt if I threw it off the roof it would survive. I don't know how ups even damaged it.

    Is the box all jacked up ??

    Why the wait on install?

    I have to wait a couple of days as well due to the fact that my truck is in the Body Shop to try an fix the Vibrating Hood.

    Well worth the wait. I've been waiting since Jan. Defiantly worth it. Now I gotta wait for my truck to come out of the body shop. They are addressing the vibrating hood.

    I work overseas on a rotation schedule so won't be back for another few weeks, and then Im heading straight out to Oregon for a month and won't have my truck with me. Oh well, all good things come to those that wait, isn't that the saying?!! haha. At least I actually have the grille, thats step 1! I've owned my Taco since Feb and it only just hit 2000 miles as I'm unfortunately never around to drive it... :mad:

    I was looking at the adhesive on my hood last time, its disbonded also but I guess because of the sports hood it doesn't seem to vibrate. At some point I'll need to address it though.

    sounds crazy, right? I've ordered this grille, Bushwacker pocket flares, wheels, tires, lift, everything and I haven't ordered the truck yet.
    That's my game plan as well. grille, lift, tires, fender flares, etc all before I buy the truck. The truck won't see my driveway before it it completely set up.
