Satoshi Grill Mod - 5th Gen

[azn-sensation]

These look pretty good. To bad I just ordered the parts for my own. Oh well.

I'm down Jerry....any signicant airflow loss?

I do think I agree with Quentin, I'd prefer a bit larger mesh.

 

[sandcrawler]

what bumper / winch system is this?

that's a mockup of the Lucrum winch mount. vaporware at the moment, i'm afraid.

The mesh grill looks good! This will probably be the first and only mod I do on my 5th gen. Thank you!

the BG series ones look really nice... according to GC web site the price is around $200

Thats just for the top grille, the bottom is another $100. CarID has it for about $265 for the pair.

You could count me in on this group buy too (depending on the funds at the time of course). Love the MX series.

Ooops. Didn't notice that. I wonder if the group buy will happen, anyone following up on this?

Do you need to take the whole bumper off to take the upper portion out or can the grille be taken out without removing the whole bumper?

Grill comes off on it's own

At your toyota dealership

Can anyone provide the part number for that particular Toyota badge?

prefer to order it online rather than through the dealership.

The "TOYOTA"emblem came up for $30.98 online.

Speaking of ordering Toyota parts online...I noticed last week that Toyota and the toyotapartsales dot com website finally have the 2010 4Runner parts manual online. ToyotaPartSales.com
Just select "make,model" and then the sub chapters come up.It's not the same "factory" manual that parts counter peeps and techs have access to ,but still has a ton of good info and part numbers.Wish they had even more"illustrations"!

Jesse,
How did you determine where to cut the metal mesh? Did you create a template or something?

I did this mod with the same mesh that you used. Unfortunately, I jacked it all up. It actually looks pretty good, but I want to re-do it the right way. I already got a new piece of mesh, just trying to figure out how to size it right.

I just kept cutting it and laying it on top of the grill shell. I would see where more needed cut and trim accordingly. I zip tied the bottom in place and trimmed until it laid flat. besides the bottom piece, and small sections of the lower sides, the other sides don't have to be perfect because when you put the painted part of the grill shell back on, it covers it up.

DONE! Thanks for all you guy's help! I have gotten plenty of compliments.
