Grill Guard Pictures! dial up warning
Hi everyone. Just thought it would be cool for everyone to post grill guard pictures. I am thinking of purchasing one, and need ideas for brands and styles.

vato loco, those pics look great! I have a 4runner that looks almost exactly like yours. I was thinking the chrome would look better on my truck, cause everything else is chrome, but the black really stands out nicely! Hey, I just thought, mabye I could buy something like whats on the side of your truck, right above the running boards, for my 2000 4r sr5. It looks like plastic molding, so I should be able to buy it somewhere.

This is mine.
If you insist on getting the grill guard, be sure to remove the smaller bars over the headlights like I did. I burnt out 2 of my corner bulbs and removed and reinstalled twice before I learned my lesson :pat:

nice pics everyone! Has anybody here gotten into a minor accident with one of these? How much more damage can these cause? I am thinking of just getting a bull bar up front instead, I hear they actually protect the truck more in an accident, and dont cause more damage.

I like the sidemarker lights you added on your 4runner, Im doing that soon on my truck too,. either that or if I can find a company that makes signal mirrors for a 2000 4runner.

Dibble,
Put in the sidemarker lights like I did. You can't see the signal mirrors from the side, which is why I installed mine in the first place (ie merging onto the interstate or merging from the outer lane to the center lane). It's not hard to do at all, just a little scary at first but all you've got to do is practice first on a small sheet of tin (which is what you make the template out of). I think I've still got the template saved on my computer and I did a writeup on it that's in the tech section here on Yotatech. They look and perform awesome!!

Well, thanks for the idea, I'm gonna look further into doing it, or just buying the lights and taking them to a body shop to have it done, then wire it up myself, seems to scary cutting into my body, but ill sleep on it. Did your truck come with those Sport Edition stickers, or did you put them on?
