    This looks awesome and I want to do this mod, but am reluctant to do it myself. You're only like 2.5hrs away (I'm in Seattle). Mind helping a fellow Taco owner out with this mod if you have the time? I'm interested in the upper and also your light bar too!

    I'll probably take heat for this one, but I like the look of the black powdercoat with the chrome grille surround...I'm wondering what the emblem would look like chrome plated to match the surround...at least it would be different from most everyone else.

    These look great. I can't wait to see more pics of them installed.

    timsxr, what ever happened to the hood scoop insert (post #138) and the fog light covers (post #178)? Are you selling those and if so, how much?

    Again, great job.

    Tim,
    Just received my grille today, and I must say, you've done and excellent and exceptional job on it...And Im just talking about the wrapping! THe grille itself is beyond words. And to anyone who is borderline on pulling the trigger to get this, don't be stupid. Get it! GET IT NOW! I'll be installing in in a few hours and posting pics as well. Thanks again for the great work and great design. I hope you bank from all this!

    Alex

    I just got my grill about 3 minutes ago. I got it installed and I'll have to wait to put it on the truck tomorrow. Install was very easy. This is such a great looking mesh! Tim did an amazing job on everything- right down to the packing. Oh and also I remember someone wondering about the partsgeek.com grill. I got the $33 assembly from there and it worked fine.

    lol it took me a little time but i got it in there.. The allen bolts definitely made it easier as opposed to trying to get a screwdriver down there so it all worked out. Overall it was a pretty easy install
