    Hey Taco Guys, Gals, & Admin,

    Before I even start, or get bombarded w/ inquires, This is a gauging interest post for how many pieces I need, and NOT a "for sale" ad...

    ***I'm still a WEEK or more lead-out time before I even take any pre-orders:spending: to place my initial order with the manufacturer from over seas...***




    With that out of the way, May I introduce to you a prototype of the 1st, 98-00 Tacoma made-to-order, FULLY customizable, ABS bolt-on TRD Pro grill available in the USA:oldglory:

    Model shown w/ added options...
    1)
    3 Smoked clearance lights in the TOP row.
    2) Silver color "YOTA" letters.
    3) gradient Red tri-color "vintage TRD" badge bottom drivers side.

    This is the finished prototype going on my truck.... Like everyone else looking for a facelift, I found NOTHING for our "middle child" 98-00 available for market here in the USA.
    So, I did something about it!:santa2:

    My goal (and still working on) is so everyone can afford one:taco:. My target price point is going to be a base price starting @ $249 shipped blank and custom orders starting @ $299 shipped from the East coast.

    **Shipping Lead-out time is approx. 1-2 weeks after your order is paid in full depending on volume...** Outside the US will be up to customs, cargo, etc... and substantially longer**

    The Low Down:
    The grill comes shipped to me without lights, letters, badges, etc.. Then I make it to your specs>> You decide how sane or crazy you want your grill to look!!!!

    ~The letters screw-on, Are available in the 8 colors shown, and can be arranged for Custom text.

    ~The waterproof LED's are available in Amber or "smoked" Amber & snap-in anywhere you want them on the mesh.. You can add as many or little as you want, 3-4-8, Top-bottom-sides... How many, however, where ever... Will come w/ a waterproof wire harness...

    ~The Tri-color TRD badge is available in Std. red/orange/yellow or the 3 other color combos shown.

    ***other "TRD", "4X4", "SR5" badge options available upon special request***


    I will have purchase details in the appropriate forum section/classifieds very very soon....
    I hope I just brightened up your covid-2020 holiday season a little bit... :ohsnap:

    Thank you and as always, Peace and love Yota fam:fingerscrossed:

    I love it, looks great! I have an ‘01 and finding alternatives is nearly impossible would love an option like what you’ve done. Good luck, I hope you get lots of orders.

    I recognize that you're offering a cool new product, but you are breaking multiple BST rules here... I'm going to have to lock it up until you get your post count up which shouldn't be too hard as I am guessing you have some production knowledge? Also, I don't want to see anyone "pre-selling" here.

    PM sent to give you some more details.

    Sold! I want one!

    I have an FJ80 grill but I don’t have the heart to cut it up.
