New grill for an 01

Nice. With the short depth of the grill, you didn't have to fiberglass patch the inner rib to make it deeper. It still looks good and I'm not sure which way I'll go...

 

Looks nice... Fist time I've seen that done on a 1st gen...

 

Where did you get the mesh and how did you secure it on? Someone should made tutorial on this...

 

Home Depot. I used a mixture of Gorilla Glue and tabs. I wished I had made a write up for it but I was half way through it when I thought about it. It was a kinda spur of the moment mod. It was raining and it was something that could keep me busy.

 

I was just thinking of what one of these grills would like on my truck last night cause I think they look swaeet on the 2nd gens. Now that I've seen it done and for how cheap it was I might have to do it to mine now. Yours looks awesome nice job

 

Yeah man no joke! You should of done a write up, it's freakin sweet!!! In fact it's so sweet you should still do a right up! Help som of your fellow taco's out. Like ME!!!!!

 

DANG that looks awesome. I wanted to do a satoshi-ish grille for mine but i've never seen anyone do one to see how it looks, and that looks good. I may have to do that this summer

 

is there a diy somewhere for this...if so could someone post a link.....Looks awesome btw..

 

are you gonna stick some big ass lights in there to ?

 

Already did... Finishing my roof rack and gong to add my new KC HiLites to it rather than my old light bar hopefully it will look better.

 

very nice ....im jealous

 

Think I should center the lights within the grill?

 

ya for sure

 

Thought so too. Got to fab something up tomorrow

 

it doesnt really look like a "satoshi" tho.. it looks great. but it looks like you just took all of the black plastic off of the chrome parts. its not recessed, that why im asking. i was actually trying to make my own grill today and stopped cuz i didnt have any fierglass, but when i was puting it back on i saw that the black is like tabbed onto the chrome peice on teh back and i could prolly take it off and glue/tab the mesh on like youdid.

am i right? haha i just dont know if it need the support of the tabs that go back to the radiator support. it looks liek you just took all that off.

 

Something to really help the look, paint the radiator and background of the grill black too. Makes that stand out less and the grill stand out more.

 

Where did you get your toyota letters?
