    Can anyone tell me where I can find that picture of the 2016 with the photoshopped plate front bumper with a bunch of graphics on it?

    Google demello off-road in regards to the 2016, should turn up something. I saw a picture of one fabricated by them in another thread, no idea which.

    Wow, this is the first picture of the Gen 3 front exterior where I didn't cringe. Amazing what a nicely designed plate bumper will do to this ugly beast.

    The more I look at it, I think the problem with the front end of the 2016 is the chrome mesh grill. The pictures I've seen with a black grill insert made the exterior look not half bad.

    Definitely think some people will make money selling grill inserts.

    Does anyone actually like the chrome mesh grill on the TRD OR? You would think Toyota would hear the complaints and change it before launch. I bet next year, after everyone has changed their grill out, Toyota makes an "update".

    Thanks for posting up. We will most likely hide some of the grill behind the bumper in order to rein in the front end overbearing grill.

    When you guys go about designing a new bumper for a truck, how long does it normally take to get to market? I am not in a hurry to get one but am curious how the process works from idea to market
