ToyoTanners 1st gen pickemup truck

[rcbro]

Toyo, I got the perfect grill for you. Trade me lol. No really, I have the same grill, with the outer two sections cutout for a set of lights. Like this truck below:



I think it would look good, and it would save one more grill from getting cut up lol

[toyotanner]

hmmmm tempting are those 5" lights? i was thinking about doing that anyways

[BigMike]

That is Greg's truck from the San Jose area. I've got some great close up pics of how he mounted the lights in there. I'll see if i can find them... Really looks great! He wheels with Jeff and all the great guys at Toy Connection 4WD.

thanks bigmike that would be helpful

rcbro- my grille isnt perfect i had to trim some down for the 16" electric fan and it has a few cracks

[BigMike]

Not one of close up pics I am referring to, but here is his truck from the 2008 TLCA Rubithon Marlin Crawler Sweep run. Other than Marlin's Crawler truck, it's the cleanest 1st gen I've ever wheeled with. Has a 3RZ under the hood.

in this pic he has square headlights and grille w/ round inners
and in the other pic he has round headlights and grille w/ round inners

hoping the round headlight is more current looks better imo

[BigMike]

Ahh you're right, he did a round light conversion since then

[toyotanner]

definitely a clean 1st gen though thats for sure.
