What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

I got G.E.

Grill Envy!!!

 

With a lot of patience i finally got my satoshi done recently. Also color matched the valance. It took a little bit of time but finally got it done. Also got it debadged and tinted.

 

Looks sick man what mesh do you have

 

No more jolly roger? lol

 

I used M3 mesh. I also painted the radiator and everything else back there with some high heat spray paint.

 

Awesome Adam! I can't wait for my 5 year old to do this one day

 

Both those satoshi grilles look nice. Making me want one

Did you guys use the fiberglass stuff? Also did y'all get the mesh pre-bent, or does it not need any bending?

 

I used a little plastic repair kit from autozone that came with a flexible mesh thing that i set in place first then built up with bondo afterwards. Came out pretty good. As far as the bending the mesh, i didn't have to. Mine sat pretty flat.

 

Meee too

 

I used the plastic welding method for it and then just refined everything with a layer of filler, as for the mesh I made a homemade bender since the grille has a small contour to it , you can bend it with your hands if you get aluminum though

 

the level of bad ass is through the roof haha! thats great!

 

Grill Envy!!! Looks freaking Great!!!

 

installed my homertaco satoshi, put in my relocated blinker corners, and put in a new uncracked windshield.

 

Looks great dude ^^^

 

Thanks for the link, I should have measured but I didn't, I'd say only about half an inch though if anything

 

Want to make me one? Haha how did you do the emblems?

 

These Satoshi grills though

 

Haha I've thought about making my extra grille into a thin lip satoshi. Haven't looked into what it takes though.

 

I've almost went and got the materials several times then I always think I'll screw it up

 

Haha i possibly could but i shouldn't. Doing this Satoshi annoyed the sh!t out of my wife because of having parts all over our little apartment lol. I have my original stock black grill in storage right now. Was thinking about making another with raptor style mesh but i'll wait till i have and actual garage to work in. As for the emblems, I JB welded screws on the back of them. same with the mesh to the grill. So they're all held down by screws and nuts.
