    Thanks.

    "Grillcraft Grills, upper and lower (TOY-1951-B)"
    It's just the mesh grill inserts. Theres all kinds of videos and tutorials online on how to do the grill installs. Plus it comes with good instructions.

    Where'd you get the mounts for the light bar?

    Sick truck man.

    Also...do you have any whistling/wind noise from the bar?

    Thanks man!!
    Thanks. Relentless Fab Brackets. There is a little wind noise when at high speeds. I think all light bars mounted above windshield will have a little wind noise though.

    I have a link of the lights i used on the first post.
    Heres a thread that shows different ways to wire it up. I tapped into the parking light wires (green is the hot wire).

    Looks good Rick! Same stuff as everyone else is saying except one question. I caught a hint of your skid. It looked like you colored in the TRD on your skid. What did you use (brand, color, and from where)?

    A few things
    The light bar cable runs right into the window channel (the black piece of rubber along side of window). It actually fits in there almost perfectly, nice and tight. Should be the exact same for your rig.

    Thanks! My skid is just a regular factory TRD skid plate. I had some decals custom made up on ebay (for like $15) to fit in that spot. After about a year there were some little chips and stuff from rocks/debris so i just got another decal made and put over the top of it. If you have one of those skid plates with the TRD embossed in it then I would spray bedliner on all of it, then you could tape off and mask the letters and spray with whatever color you want. OR tape up the TRD area and spray it then remove the tape and use acrylic paint pens or whatever to fill it in.

    Dude my mileage sucks! Haha. Im at 14.9 right now according to my UG.
    They are heavy but they look so good. haha. I'd like to get some 35" MT/R's in the future. They are lighter then the 33" grapplers!

    Thanks. Yup its a Prerunner.

    This truck looks amazing. You definitely took advantage of the '12 front end with the meshes you chose. Nice spindles too!
