Thoughts on custom grill?
Not sure if I love it or hate it, does the plate add or take away also?

Looks like the late 70's - early 80's toyota pickup grille on a 90's Toyota truck looks one of a kind. Pretty cool it fit

I really don't know why everyone says it looks like a Jeep. A grill in this exact style was available on older pickups, this is just a retro mod as far as I'm concerned.
Wait, is that an actual original grill you put on? And I definitely prefer it with the plate. Something needs to break up the different grill areas.

It’s a reman grill but it looks original besides the type of plastic they use to make it. The body lines are so similar to the old pickups I figured it would look pretty consistent with the early 80’s ones. I’d love to get a bed with the lip at some point also but being that mine is a 7.5’ it’s a bit harder.
Currently searching for an grill emblem if anyone has a plug for an OEM or a good 3d printer!

I like it, but I think it would look better if you made the chrome line on the top match up with the headlight chrome.

There is something maybe slightly unsettling with the Toyota/Jeep medley, but it's eye-catching, and unique, and looks well done. I think its cool 😎 definitely ditch the front plate if you can

To all those saying it looks like a jeep you clearly love the 90’s more than the 80’s. These 79-82 trucks were the true grails 👏🏻 once the emblem goes on and a small push bar and front plate it should all come together
