    2015. It's newer than what I had wanted, but it's the right truck and the right deal. I'm actually going to have a full MGM 2012+ facelift going up for sale soon haha. I was planning on converting my old truck to the new front end.

    I like 2012+ front end a bit better now, but I have a HomerTaco grille now and it looks so sick...

    How much is a full front end conversion anyway?

    His grilles are awesome!

    Really depends on how good of a deal you get on the parts. I purchased everything via TW aside from all the mounts and brackets, but even those I found at a deal. It adds up, and the parts are cheap but it can be done somewhat in expensively. Took me a long time to gather all the parts though, there's that aspect as well.
