Raptor Grill?

[PopsSmith]

Has anyone tried to do a Raptor style grill? Something like this:

Made-To-Order Satoshi Grills - Tacoma World Forums

Can anyone photoshop one onto a 5th Gen 4Runner?

Wow, those Raptor style grills are pretty slick... :thumb:

BTW, here's how to search the 5G forum. Use Google, and this structure:

site: www.t4r.org, 5th gen [insert your search term here]

I hate to spend money on something thats purely cosmetics but that raptor style toyota
Emblem is pretty cool. And no, adio3x does not have that option.

Adio3xs,

Going for this style of grill:

Anyone good with photoshop?

If enough people are interested, maybe a group buy?

 

[jangoforhire]

Definitely cool. I don't know how it would look on our trucks

...I may play around a bit with photoshop....

EDIT: Also for what it's worth I don't think that would be that hard to make yourself at all.

not photoshop but I really want one of the raptor style grilles in my new 5th gen

Who is close or in Buck County, Pa that can go visit Craig (Homertaco) and see what he can do for us? I know he wants a test vehicle because that was the issue with the Gen 1 Taco request he got.

Philly2d ... where are you buddy!?!?

anyone know if the 2013 is the same as the 2010?

Check the part numbers to confirm, but as far as I know they are the same.

I'm not far. But Phillyd2 would be the closest for sure.

I'm going to do some photoshopping tonight if I have time just to see exactly how it would look.

I'll post the results.

It is a 6 hour drive from here in Ohio, but I'd be willing to be a test subject for that!

 

[jangoforhire]

Don't think I like it as much as I thought I would.

Quick photoshop, didn't spend a ton of time on it but it gets the idea across.

With outline:

I kinda like the white outline on yours Jango, but it pops more with your headlights.

I'd probably think about em if he decided to make them. They'd for sure be something different.

so Phillyd2 is actually in Bucks Co however I'm just next door...in Montgomery...not a far ride at all and I've always wanted to be a guinea pig....id be interested in donating my 5th gen....for science!

 

[Okki]

So is there anyone with a TacomaWorld login that's reaching out to Craig?

My suggestion would be that whoever is close enough to help him with test fitting does so since they'll have to talk anyway.

Infrared013... that might have to be you since Philly2d hasn't stuck his head in this thread yet...

[TOY2G]

Done, I reached out yesterday and have not gotten a reply yet.

Craig's Reply.

Guys, it is not a matter of can I do them. I'm fairly certain at this point that I could modify pretty much any grill to some degree.
The issue as always is time.
If you read the first post you'll see that this has always been a part-time endeavor for me. My primary focus is to keep up with the orders for the 2nd gen satoshi's.
I've hardly had any time to develop a 2012 and up product (3 prototypes of different styles) or get further along with my FJ Cruiser insert project ( mesh insert only), so taking on a whole new vehicle is just logistically impossible for now.
The only reason I tackled a 2012 was due to the overwhelming support from members who have them volunteering to test fit them.
The only reason I took on the FJ was the availability of a close neighbor with a Trail Teams to test on.
What I really need is for someone with a 4runner to move in the neighborhood!

In all seriousness I would love to try one but I simply cannot commit to a build without a test vehicle and more time - neither of which I have at the moment.





looks like it may be a while.

Historic Bucks County :wave:

I'm not really following this so let me know what you guys need.

eta: ok, read a bit more - yeah, my truck is always available for whatever and as its not a daily driver there is no issue with it sitting elsewhere while getting molested. Not sure if I would go with a grill so if he is offering a free one for testing I may just donate it here.

Somebody please email / pm me in case I'm needed and don't follow this thread closely enough.

I'm a member over here too guys... :tongue1:

If someone is willing to come by and at least let me look at it I'd be willing to work with them on pricing for being a prototype...
