Grillcraft group buy

quick dumb question how do u pop the hood with the grillcraft installed?

 

you have to squeeze your hand under the hood do it...its not hard.

 

Great looking product... can't wait to get it on! I'll have to wait a little longer though because I received the wrong item. Oh well, with so many orders I can't blame them. I've already sent a reply via e-mail, hope to get this resolved soon. Thanks again to LH and truckalter for this great opportunity.

 

got mine!

 

Mine game in today too! I didn't know FedEx delivered on the weekends...

And tacoark, the group buy is over, but Luke normally sells them for $150 shipped. Still a great deal and only a few dollars more than we paid...

Hope this helps!

 

My grill arrived this morning. Spent about 2 hours on the install. I moved the horns and spray painted the sides of the radiator with some heat resistant flat black. I was REAL nervous about cutting up my grill, but it went pretty smooth. This is really the first mod I have done on any vehicle I have owned, but thanks to everyone who has done it before and explained it, it went fine.

Thanks Longhorn and Luke!

 

nice job that looks great

 

Got mine today. Install tomorrow. If it goes well, I'll post some pics.

 

I'm surprised you got yours and i haven't yet. I'm only 4 hours from you. Oh well.... maybe monday

 

Successfully mounted lower grill without removing bumper. If I had to do it again, I might remove the damn bumper.

 

mine arrived today.. ill get around to installing it this week

 

ok it came going to try and do it on Sunday if not on Tuesday
cant believe iam going to cut up my grill

 

well, I just installed mine. It looks AWESOME!!! Just some advice to anyone planning on using a dremel for the majority of your cutting, its REALLY tough! The cutting wheels aren't big enough. I just used my jigsaw for the big cuts then cleaned everything up with the dremel. I highly recommend completely taping up the painted portion of your grill or else you WILL scratch the hell out of it.

 

thank you do you have pics

 

Dang, all those pics look great!!! I kind of want a mesh grill now instead of my billet grills!!! Oh well, I already spent a good amount of money getting them and painting them.

 

tap tap tap ........... <looking for the mailman> .......... tap tap tap ...... sigh ....... maybe Monday. So far the grilles installed look great, good job you guys, no I am not jealous ....... nope ......... well ok maybe a lil.

 

At the start.


Masked off for paint


several light coats of high temp "low gloss black"





I know this is lame but I didn't like the look of the two wholes on the side of the grill surround so I put tape over them and painted it. My girlfriend is gone until tomorrow morning so without another vehicle I couldn't go out and get fiberglass and body filler to do it properly. I used what I had. I don't think it came out bad. I haven't decided if I'll go back and do it properly. I'd suggest to anyone that you patch these gaps like you would for a satoshi grill. I may just be acting OCD but you can totally see them through the grill. if you don't cover them then you will see the gray part of the back of your headlights.


TRD Grill symbol from ebay arrived over a week ago.


I decided to move the horns while I was there. Simple mod just a little time consuming.

 

looks great! How did you affix the TRD logo? Just double sided tape or what?

 

Mine's in.

 

It came with an already cut to shape 3m adhesive backing as well as some "locking washers". Its made for grills so it has pegs sticking out of the back. Here's the link to the ad.

Took about a week to arrive. Shipped either the day I bought it or the next day, I can't remember.
