    Heck yes! Had to match up screws and washers that would work perfectly. And used a tiny bit of blue loctite on each screw so they won’t ever back out and it fall off lol

    It was nice but when I originally made the satoshi, I fiberglass’d too far back so the grille interfered with the hood release handle. So I relocated the grillcraft to the front. Then I wanted a change up which is why I bought a factory color matched one

    So you had it recessed at first? I like the up front flush look. I'm sure glad I didn't have to fiber glass anything on my first gen grill. Just cut and drill. The 01-04 hood latch was accessed thru the stock vertical grill, so when I went with the grillcraft I had to use to vice grips to bend the latch up so now I can access it between the grill and hood like most vehicles.

    Ya for the recessed satoshi you have to fiberglass it. Took a couple days to get it all perfect but I made it set too far back which was my fault lol. And the up front flush look was cleaner imo

    I was looking at ADV glass last night, the fender set isn’t as bad as I thought. 4” flare 3” rise for like $400 something. I really want to and may in the coming months. They will help save the sides of my truck lol

    From what I can tell they are beefy af pretty sure they are military grade.

    Like Chris was saying you can just press out the washer fro the bed bolts and then re use it underneath the D-ring.

    I have also seen somebody use a dremel to get the washer loose...but, you know we ain't got time for that :)
