Hope thats just a black sheet and not black paint over the beautiful art piece...

 

Thanks!

So, not prep / sanding on yours? I'm thinking about just detergent and spraying?

 

$200 and 20 minutes of my time. So much better looking now.

 

Which one did you go with? The eBay one from motorsports?

 

That's the "before" photo.. the only pic I got with my truck in it

And thanks for all the kind words everyone!

 

Had some new rubber put on her. Goodyear TrailRunner AT in 265/70R16. I like the letters out it makes the truck look at little more upscale I think.

 

I like it too. And we are the few that do like the white lettering out.

 

I got mine from a for sale post on Facebook in one of the 3rd gen groups from someone in a China. Showed up in about 5 days.
Right before the ebay ones started showing up for sale.

 

Hey don't forget about me

 

Gotcha, thanks! Nothing out of the ordinary w it?

 

Not at all. In fact I was quite impressed with how sturdy it is. The video I watched for the install was a real Pro grille and I couldn’t see any differences at all between it and mine.

 

Wet Okole covers...keeps the wet stuff out

 

You all should start a thread

“Show us your BFG KO2’s AND laces!!”

 

Probably if the hills are that steep you probably shouldn’t be using cruse. The algorithm that Toyota uses to run they’re cruse controls suck! I’ve driven Toyota or Lexus since the 80’s! They’ve never been great. So don’t expect much from Toyota cruse controls! I love my truck but that part isn’t great!

 

Wonder if the cruise control sucks on the RAV4 also???

 

I was worried about method the first time LOL. I took my grille off. Alcohol the grille, spray it in several coats... good to go. Now when it wears or cracks any, I just knock off the big bugs and derp it down. Looks the same.

 

Wife has the Rav4...pretty much the same.

 

Oh great. Was hoping they were not similar. Well I won't be shocked then when I buy one next summer.

 

Hahaha! Thanks!

Platidip is nice because it comes off, but it's nice to have advice going in.

kap1425 PM'ed a good write up. He said that warm temps were key to a good finish.
