Satoshi GrillCraft *How To* w/ pics

thanks boys! more pics coming later today...

 

cool.

Thanks.

 

Thanks for the pic of the filler container. Sounds like the mixing process is the same as bondo but the filler might be easier to use since it's not in a can like bondo is, hopefully won't be as messy. I'll have to give it a shot next time I knock out a Satoshi.

 

yeah, i hear ya. it's a high price to simply use it as mesh, but it's solid and high quality. i've seen some other meshes that are too thin and show everything behind it in the sunlight. didn't want that.

 

just added my trd emblem

 

hey klipp11 not to get off subject but what size lift do u have on that sweet ass truck u have? di u have wheel spacers as well?

Tnx Bill

 

pm'd

 

klipp. can you flip that grill over for an overall back shot?

and is that you with the LIONS!??

 

Damn, thats a good freaking looking satoshi. I'll do mine ASAP!!

 

here ya go bud


yep, that's me

 

boy, my regular housecats sometimes scare me! that is amazing. thanks.

zipties! simple. thanksx2

 

here's the shot you wanted. looks damn good to me! ignore the drill hole from the the other grillcraft mount method...

 

okay, here's the last couple of pics boys:

shot of the epoxy and trd emblem from the back side



zip ties from the back along the edge of the gc. attached 4 along the top, 1 on either side, and 2 on the bottom



view of the zip ties from the front



mounted on the truck



whatcha think?

 

It looks nice!

Where the hell you went to get with lions?! I want to take picture with lions as well

 

DAMN! You just changed the game! I was actually planning the same method. I was drawing it up last night. BUT I was going to use different plastic. It never dawned on me to reuse the cut out portion of the grille. It's awesome to see that doing it this way works. I took a vow a long time ago to never mess with fiberglass again. Work smarter, not harder. Very nice work! +1

 

another question.... did you drill holes for the zip ties to go through or??? thanks

 

zimbabwe, africa

 

you got it. start with a small pilot hole then bore it out to the right size so that your zip tie just fits through. make sure you drill deep enough in (that's what she said!) so that it won't break through when you cinch up the zip tie tight.

i drilled more than necessary. haven't decided if i'll patch 'em up or add more zip ties. all you really need are 4 along the top (to support the weight of the gc), 1 on each side, and 2 on the bottom

 

+1 rep dude! Good thinkin... I'll try this when snowboarding season is done.

 

Thats really smooth how you did that !!
