Looks good, can't wait to see it on your truck! I've been thinking about the same thing.... :bigok:

Is that a DIY? It looks sweet. Can't wait to see it on.

Can't wait for pics.

And you weren't kidding about being on a mod spree, you've been getting new things left and right! What else you got planned?

 

[juiceboxer]

Anyone know what a new grille goes for? That way I could mod that one and still have the capability to switch back to the factory.

Nice, can't wait to see!

 

[LINY4Runner]

mmmmm i love it!

it's badass in it's sublety...

 

[RunningAround]

That looks sweet man! How'd you do it?

 

[rjyhdc4]

Very clean!

That looks sweet man! How'd you do it?

Started by cutting out the fins, then sanded down the posts that held the fins in place. Then I again sanded it with lighter sandpaper just to scuff up the whole thing. Cut out some mesh from Home Depot and glued it in place using RTV. I chose RTV because it's thick and has body to it, unlike super glue which is runny and thin. After this I taped off all the chrome, removed the Toyota emblem and did two coats of primer, two coats of flat black, peeled the tape off and installed! Took about 4.5 hours from start to finish

THREAD REVIVAL!

Hey LINY, what'd you do about the upper fin where it connects to the badge oval? I bought an '01-02 grille with the intent of doing something similar (no chrome, though), but when I look at that middle-top fin, it looks like it would be difficult to cut around the badge oval without making a mess. Do you have a close-up of yours?

Thanks!
