    i had a mesh grille. I hate how you can see into the radiator area so much. Looks like crap if you ask me. And im not putting cheap spray paint on my radiator. Thats something you do to a cheap old truck. Im getting a billet grille black powder coated. This seems to look better if you ask me. I just dont know what brand or where to get one yet.

    I don't like how you can see the guts of the truck either... And the way we off-road, the guts would get slammed with mud. I still have red mud from western MD that is slowly coming off.
