    I've seen your truck and it's quite a build, love how it looks.

    But I spend 40 miles round trip on the highway every day in my truck. I would hate having to do that everyday in yours. It's not built for that, mine is and then some.

    Let's see what the kid can bring.

    Thanks. It's actually not that bad...but then again it's only 5 miles to my work.

    Your truck is one of my favorites. The tires and wheels are fantastic but not meant for long runs down to the OBX to Hatteras.

    Someone needs to design a stainless steel grill with foldout legs and quick disconnect clips so you can take it off and use it as a BBQ grill, but dang, what to do with the squished bugs, and all those bears, coyotes and other varmits wanting to lick it all the time? Hmmm-- maybe not.

    Here is a partial shot of mine. I think it really improves the looks a lot.

    Been thinking about doing a shadow chrome shading for the TRD braces grill. Anyone have an opinion on this idea?

    2nd gen owner, love the look of the new grille. The emblem is large but you can black out or find some way to get rid of it. Lots of smack talk done in the pages I read! :popcorn:

    I didn't read all nine pages either, but isn't that the pro grill? By far the best of the bunch.

    Yes it is. I didn't realize till after I posted it was the wrong thread, but still grille related so I left it.

    They need to just make the pro grill the new stock grill.

    Not a fan of the pro grill. Looks too busy IMO.

    Besides the SR grill, I think it's the best option. I'd swap to a black trim and call it a day.

    The main objection I have to the new grille is the lack of horizontal lines. I'll stay with my cheesegrater for now.

    The emblem is part of the new safety system so I doubt that you can modify it and keep functionality going.
