    Blacked out decals and front grill with plasti dip. New halo headlights. Folding bed cover.
    Please post pictures of your favorite grill guards you've seen or brands you like. I am looking around for a grill guard and am still picking out the style I want.

    I have found one that I like alright, it's big benefit is that it fits the pocketbook nicely! However, it is a Aries 2042 which supposedly only fits 1998-2000 year models. I have a 2003 taco double cab. Does anyone know why it wont fit? or is there any way I can make it fit?

    Any pics of grill guards and thoughts on the question would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    There are a lot of grille guard haters on here. Most will say buy a full bumper.
    Personally I like the Westin grille guards because I know they are quality.

    I agree. Westin's are probably the best.

    Here's a picture.

    I had a WAAG on my 96. It was a great product and took a lot of offroad abuse.
