    It was a test for an add-on to the black and red theme. It's ok but was hard to keep the black in tact while pealing the red area and tape off. tude3e4e_05e7eebe45bead040c6d27a753d8fbf8a150e6a1.jpg

    I think I'm going to peal them off. :)

    Should I swap my grill lights into the Tundra? Or wait and get an LED light bar?
    Current lights on Tacoma:
    IMG_2440_d2341d5783ee9809738c28f13e810aacec724be3.jpg

    What the lights would look like on a Tundra:
    IMG-20110419-00196_8653b4f8eed9cb8593d52dd5c42a8dc0bb1592de.jpg

    Led light bar on Tundra:
    photo-56_a0b7acda364bae5f381d423742ecb003bacc4521.jpg


    I'm like the look of the two round lights. The current lights I have though are old so im thinking just wait and either get a light bar or new round lights.

    Fits with the emblem removed.
    Going to cut out the center bars though.

    I like your black grill. I'm going g to be painting mine soon. Plus that insert is looking pretty good like that. Can wait to see it finished.

    I like the grillcraft. I put one on my wife's Tacoma. Quality stuff! I was going to dip my 5.7 badges and peel the red part out too, but I figured it would be a pain in my ass and just piss me off, so I just left em alone. Lookin good!

    So I'm thinking about building a custom mounting plate for my ultra gauge so it will fit in this location. jube6u4a_e48beaab4adef60da56f993adb96eb3afe67aa61.jpg

    And move the tow switch to this location.
    4avata9u_61a8f9ef49fd1c1d25316f19cad5f09e7a8ecf57.jpg

    Il let you know how the mod progresses. Need to figure out how to split the ultra gauge apart and mount the buttons to the front.

    Well it def needs to be mounted at an angle so I'm looking at the screen flat. Way to washed out if looking at an angle. Didn't anticipate that. Hmm. Now that I put it in my truck I will play around with different locations to see what works best.

    Might try to figure out a way to mount it inset in at that angle like this

    True. Lift will be on its way after a deposit. Hard to drive a stock truck after having an awesome 6" lift.
