    That looks great, Primo. I think it matches your side steps better without the Euroguards, but I also like them on.

    Never argue with a woman when she wants you to mod your truck. :thumbsup:

    Question: Did you have to remove the skid plate to get the grille guard on? Big turn-off for me, as I want the grille guard for the same reason I must have the skid plate. Thanks!

    Thanks, Primo. Some grille guards of this design require the skid plate to come off, which doesn't make sense. BTW the way and places I drive for work, those nice side steps would be gone in a few days. But they do look functional.

    That's one of the nicest setups I have seen. Your lift/tire size combo looks perfect. So much better than the Baja. Do you have 5100's all the way around or just in the front? Did you add the 4th leaf in the back or did it come that way stock?

    Brush guard with the lights is perfect...with or without the headlight inserts.

    Love how the paint matches the vette.

    Nice house, nice corvette, but I can't stop looking at how perfect the taco looks.

    How much $$ do I need to make a year to live your lifestyle?

    By the way, I am wishing I was you right now.

    Last question, do those Duratracs throw up a bunch of road gravel and chip the paint since you had to take off the mudflaps?

    Thanks!

    Finally getting around to posting some pics of the new Big Country Grille Guard I bought. The dealer who sells Big Country gave me a sweet deal..$399.99 and I could just pick it up. So picked it up and saved the money and installed myself. He didn't charge anything extra for ordering. Install went great maybe a little over an hour. No hiccups.

    Looks awesome an have had no problems with it! Highly recommend, has an awesome look an is different overall with the middle pointing inward.

    That black grill guard looks great on white. Here is an updated one of mine. I just added a ebay/totron LED light bar underneath.

    Well the lady has good taste! I saw the 2013 model Tacoma and HAD to have one because I thought it was much sexier than it's former version (I had a 2006). Now that I have one, I saw this grille guard and am practically drooling on myself to get the guard.

    What is the best way to go about getting one as I am no where near a big country dealer. Call/email?

    For those who have bought them, what was the final cost of purchase for the guard?

    Initially all the local dealers/distributors that were listed on the Big Country website for my hometown did not exist(anymore). I emailed the Big Country website, and they never responded.
    There were a couple in listed in Austin (100 miles away)...I contacted them and they said they could get one for me...and I almost ordered.

    After googling extensively one night I found a distributor in San Antonio...this place was actually the Linex bedliner place, but they also sold Big Country products on the side, so in other words their website really didn't advertise they sold grill guards.

    I suggest calling/emailing every local truck accessory/off road shop and see if they are a distributor for Big Country.

    Otherwise you can just order it from Amazon
    http://www.amazon.com/Big-Country-Accessories-503885-Euroguard/dp/B008DEX5J8
    It is $100 shipping, but you will end up almost spending that amount in gas if you have to drive out of town to get one. So I think it is a good deal.

    I think I paid like $425 for mine if I remember correctly.

    Good Luck and lets see some pics when you get it.

    This is an old thread, but I found this model grille guard for $338 (including shipping!!!) and pulled the lever on it. I'll post pics when it's installed!

    Btw, big country no longer makes this, so if you want it you have to find someone that still carries old stock.
