After market grilles?

I need nothing out of this. Just trying to help.

 

I have a tailor's tape if you need measurements

 

Heck yeah!!! If you are willing would definitely help out.

 

Burn an inch.

1st pic was taken to show length from edge to where it starts to bend

 

The grill surround is not very sturdy. Once you start putting tension on the mounting points, they will snap off because they are hollow. That's why I have an $800 grill sitting in my garage that I can't use. It throws off the body lines as well.

 

$800. Yikes! I paid a little more for my DB Halo grill.

 

Exactly the reason I’m making it myself. $400 worth of material (if that) and my skills. I’m not paying $1000 for a piece of shit made by incompetent people. Also if it isn’t perfect at least I know it’s my fault and I wasn’t relying on the incompetence of mass production. Make it so the grille surround doesn’t warp yk

 

Widest point to widest point

 

If you need other measurements let me know

 

Will do! Thank you

 

It's not so much the grille.The one I have is the T-Rex X-Metal. It's the fact that every truck is slightly different, but the surround is just not strong enough for certain grills. It doesn't take much at all to snap those mounts on the surround. I'll find the pics.

 

I put the RC grill in mine. I didn’t get it perfectly in the center. Close but not perfect. After a week I had to fix it. Now it looks right. I put the Toyota emblem from old grill to new grill. For now it’s fasten with 2 little clear zip ties.

 

You do have to bend it just a little to make it fit good to the surround part.

 

Here is the one that I removed.

 

New Grille !!

What is the upper light bar --in the hood?
Can you post a photo from the inside?

 

T-Tex metal grill with “T” Toyota truck emblem

 

I have the same grille. Very happy with it even through the install was a bit of a pain for me.

 

Exactly why I removed mine.

 

It is why mine is staying, I only like pain once.

 

I went back to stock from this one.

 

I remember.

I was frustrated with the install too. I wasn't going to let it "defeat" me since it was the one of my first "projects" I could work on my own without assistance.

I may swap the grille out when I loose enough screws. LOL

 

Lol. Mine pissed me off to no end...damn OCD lol.

 

Its a shit design. Should be plug and play; buyers should know it isn't reversible IMO
