    Regardless of whether you mean 'any mesh grille transplant' or 'a true Satoshi Mod', it has indeed been done on a 1995.5 - 2004 Taco.

    grillcraft looks cool,but if your going to use the fence wire,it would be better to leave it open and put a flower box in there with some pretty flowers:p

    I'd love to do this mod too, but when it comes to cutting up the grille, I don't have the balls either. They more resemble raisins actually
