    taco-front.jpg taco-front2.jpg So I have a 2017 SR5 MGM. I have been shopping for a new grill since I bought it. I like the BAMF grills, but I have always been a fan of mesh grills. However, I do not want a blank mesh grill, I want a logo or something on it, and I want something unique. So I came up with this at work... [​IMG]

    I think with some black powdercoat on a black mesh grill it will look good.

    Opinions?? (Here we go:fingerscrossed:)

    Just go to post a reply and there is a button low right that allows you to go to your "pic" files and select one... Unless you are too new and they won't let you do that yet, ... not sure..
    EDIT.. ya beat me by 1 minute...!!

    "Toyota Trucks" embelems are non existent. So since I have Mastercam, and access to some CNC's, its my new "Toyota Trucks" embelem. Just need a grill to put it on.
