I think I'm leaning towards china knock off pro grill, it gets cold here and I feel like all the gluing the mesh grill requires wont hold up long term

That's a good idea. I asked because I bought a grill mesh insert from homertaco last year and I can't ever find time to start a grill project, was thinking about selling the kit for cheap.

Wheels and tires are complete, had to get TPMS, longer studs for the front because it needed a 1/4 inch spacer to clear the caliper and destud the winter cats. Overall super happy with the result and my China KO pro grill is being shipped shortly https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Toyota-Tacoma-2012-2015-TRD-Pro-Black-Letter-Front-Grill-Grille-PTR54-35150/302887564159?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
