4th Gen Grill Replacements & Inserts

[Luxury]

I am creating this thread to summarize and analyze the various options there are for our 4th gens. I will start it with a few pics that I have found from various threads. Maybe some of you can add pics of the ones I haven't gotten to yet.


Edit: Ok, I just got done adding all the grills I can remember. If anyone has a problem with me posting their picture, please let me know and I will immediately remove it. I simply created this thread so that our community has an easy reference of the different grill options. I have spent a long time searching for all of these and thought others could benefit from a summary like this.

I did this mod and have to bet that it's the cheapest and quickest of all you have here. It took me all of $3.00 and maybe 25 minutes to do. I've had several people ask about it and then do it to their Toyota trucks too.

Thanks Loyd!

Hoomiester:Can you post some pics?

I think this picture of loyd's installation is a great detail that helped me visualize what it would look and how easy it would be:

JAOS Aura grill.

For the longest time I couldn't figure out exactly what the Jaos grill looked like. Every picture I saw was so black that I couldn't tell if there was a solid plastic sheet across it (probably stupid of me because no air would get thru) or if there was some sort of darker portion inset on the grill. This pre-installation pic that jomama posted helped clarify it for me:

"Street Scene Toyota 4 Runner 03 Grille (Grill); Speed Main Aluminum" Seems pretty darn generic, but this is available too:

I think this picture of loyd's installation is a great detail that helped me visualize what it would look and how easy it would be:

Loyd's pictures are great but I did put the slip ties on each "upright" in the upper grill. I only used about 5 on the lower part. I used larger ties as I found working with smaller ones did not give me anything to work with and the bigger ones felt more sturdier. You can see the back of them in this picture above.

I went to Lowes and bought 2 sheets of gutter guard at (I believe $1.56) each. You can buy a whole box for under $30.
