    I got the mesh from another member on here, Doubletaco. I don't have a write up, but maybe I can make another, once I get more mesh :D I appreciate it, I really like it.

    My grill is coming in this week. What hella's do you have? how did you mount them. Because of my topper and my rear bumper I gotta go with the tuff country aal. got the eibach setup upfront. Hopefully it'll level it out. Truck looks good man!

    Did you order a grillecraft? I have the Hella 500's and I mounted them on the core support using some little aluminum brackets to hold the lights. Yeah I had the same problem with the shell, that AAL should do good.

    Thanks man get a build page going on yours :thumbsup:

    Yup, ordered a grill craft. Just trying to decide on how to mount the lights and what hella's to get. So many options. I want to make a build page. Seems like my truck is a never ending project! Did you put on the aal's yourself?

    Haha I know what you mean, yeah had my dad help me with the AAL, just make sure the holes stay lined up and clamp the other leafs so they don't spread too far apart, and do one side at a time :D

    Thanks!

    You cut the main center of the grille out, then to get the "teeth" of the grille out I used a hot putty knife to melt them off. Then you just sand the surround smooth and either do a satoshi or buy a grillcraft insert.

    Let me know if you need some help or have any more questions. :thumbsup:

    Twins :D I love your truck, the enduros look awesome and the color matched flares.


    Thanks! I love the lift and 33's sets you apart from the other tacomas.

    I love the grille. What'd you use to secure the mesh with? Zip ties?

    Thanks man. It's actually in between the two parts of the grille. I separated the grille into two parts and put the mesh in between, then melted the plastic tabs back together, and threw some silicone on there for good measure, I'm not worried about it going anywhere.
