My 2013 Satoshi grill...FINALLY!!!

Thanks! Funny though...I like the older style front ends...lol

 

How much space do you have between the side lips and the headlights? I heard that could be an issue with the 2012+ satoshis

 

I actually sold the truck that was pictured in the first post. It was a prerunner and I got stuck in a snow storm we had here last spring. Went straight to the dealership and ordered the exact same truck in 4x4 lol. Of course I put the satoshi on the new truck. Here's the new truck.

 

Not sure if we are talking about the same thing? But I told him that I wanted the mesh recessed as much as possible. When he finished it and tried to put it on the truck, the mesh was too deep into the headlights and it wouldn't fit. He just pulled it off and trimmed it a little until it fit. Only took him a few minutes. Didn't even have to do any repainting.

 

How did you attach the mesh to the back?? A pic would be great!

 

Yep thats exactly what i am talking about, thanks!

 

Don't have a pic but the guy used screws.

 

sick

 

where in texas r u from ? myabe i can use the same guy lol

Nice truck ! Grille look great!

 

+1 good old 65lb will saw right through the glue

OP - that grill is awesome!!! I would be interested in pictures of how it was done too

 

Thanks! Wish I had pics of the process. Next time I have it off I will post pics of the back to show how the mesh was attached.

 

This is exactly what I am looking for.
What was the mesh you used? where to buy the mesh?

Very sharp!

 

looks great!

 

cool. Thats where i ordered mine.
Sorry for all the questions iam working on one myself and love yours.

Hard to tell, but is your grill bent/have bends on each side(like grillcraft and satoshi) or flush/flat on each?

You buy it pre cut and bent? or...

Thanks,

 

It's flush/flat. I wish I had some pics of the building process to show you but I don't. I did not buy the mesh precut. basically he just cut the mesh out and attached it with screws. He didn't have my truck while he was working on it and when he tried to install it, the grill itself wasn't cut deep enough and the mesh hit the headlight brackets (I think that's right, it's been a while). He just took the screws out, took off the mesh, cut a little more material from the plastic part of the grill, and reattached the mesh. I watched him do the whole thing, only took him about 30 minutes. Didn't even have to repaint it! I could have never done that myself. Sorry for the lousy technical explanation...lol
