1 gen grill

So I noticed on the newer gen trucks that they have the raptor/fj style grill with the amber lights. I was curious as to what it looks like on the first gen Tacoma. I can’t find any to buy or any pictures on google for that matter, hoping someone was crazy enough to make one! Lol

 

I think those lights are aftermarket, not factory.

 

Yes they are, I’m looking more for what the grill looks like on the first gen truck tho

 

So you want a 3rd gen grill on a 1st gen?

Without extensive modification, it won't fit, so that's probably why you don't see a 3rd gen grill on a first gen.

There are at least a few aftermaket grill mods people have done to give a similar flair, like Satoshi, grillcraft, etc...

I was just using the picture as an example. I know the 3rd gen grill can’t fit and would look stupid modified to fit. I was looking to see if anyone as made that style of grill for the 1 gen.

 

ah, ok, I misunderstood, lol...

I bet you could at least get the back portion, the honeycomb looking part to fit without looking too bad. Those links I posted earlier have some grills with the large "TOYOTA" emblem that have a pretty similar feel to the pic you posted.

 

Yeah those threads helped a ton I appreciate it man

 

Its called a satoshi grill. I think they called it a homer taco grill too? @LSC15 had a bad ass grill

 

The grill size of this Army green 2020 Tacoma compared to my 1st gen grill is massive.

1st gen grills are small and the lights personality I don’t think look all that great because our grill
are so small, just my opinion

 

Yes I built mine on my 1st gen

 

Sweet headlights and the grill too
Completely unique hombre. Haven't seen another like it and that's hard to do in the Tacoma world. Modded and forgettable tacos are a dime a dozen. Yours doesn't look like those, yours looks tastefully modded and that's coming from an old timer that doesn't get caught up in all this stuff

 

You showed that 3.4 what's up, lol. I was so happy when you wrote that you got her done

 

are you specifically just wanting the raptor lights? There are a lot of kits out there that can accomplish this. Any small amber indicator x3 and a creative idea for mounting is all you need.

 

@LSC15 This is exactly what I want to do, but with the Toyota being a little smaller. If ya don’t mind could you possibly share your designs specs with a friend

 

So... like @Taco critter's?

 

Thanks buddy. I build these headlights for members here
