First Gen Grille Options

I dunno, that just screams, “I SECRETLY WISH I BOUGHT A DODGE RAM” to me. It reaks of what all the Dodge guys used to do when the RAM transitioned to big-mouth style grille.

 

big mouth is cool if there's a intercooler involved

 

Eh ‍♂️ I've never been into dodge's so the thought doesn't even cross my mind. My first Toyota's were 3rd Gen 4runners and this reminds me of the Satoshi grills that people do on those, so I'm a fan. I don't like it as much when the mesh is recessed into the grill though.

 

I like the Satoshi grilles. I just see this...

​

And I reflect back on this being popular 20 years ago, around the same time our trucks were made. I just can't unsee it, because it was so popular back then, everyone was doing it, to the point it's almost cliché cheapo upgrade. I've seen some people on here (@Professional Hand Model comes to mind) who've pulled it off in a less-cheap looking way by applying badges. But in general, I dunno. Just not for me. And I'm not knocking it! People talk shit about me going with gold wheels, IDGAF. It's what I like. I'm not gonna try to be a dick about what you like, only sharing what it reminds me of.

Those grills are probably my least favorite, too. I agree, they aren't hideous or anything and I don't question people for liking them, but they aren't my thing. For me it isn't really the connection to the Dodge look, though I see it. It's just too...uniform or something. The pattern too consistent, and too fine. Not chunky enough.

 

I remember when this style was popular on a lot of different trucks.
I always liked the look . . . but never enough to change mine out . . .

 

Yeah definitely not a fan of the proportions on that dodge grill. And yeah I didn't take it as you being a dick, so no worries.

 

What does * mean? That better not mean starfish. Patrick's for life!



Also a picture of my grill so I'm not off topic, unlike some of us...

 

Duude! You didn't block out your plates! Now everyone here knows where you live! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

You better put some locks on them Patricks before some foos go n steal 'em. LOL

Everyone knows where he lives anyway

It's great that my truck came with options. But now I can't decide!

Aftermarket




OEM




Hybrid!

 

I like the aftermarket. Looks good seeing all of them together

 

Me too.

Of course, thats the one I chose for my truck

 

Rock 'em on and off, change em every season. Why not?

 

Might be what I do!

 

After getting used to it over the weekend, I think the stock grill is my favorite. Which means this will be up for sale. What does the internet say for a fair price? It's months old, certainly not new, but very good condition.

 

Well apparently I have about 3 days left before I can post a for sale ad. If anyone's in the market, be on the lookout for the above grill to be in the marketplace forum.

 

Where are you located

 

Montana.

I think I really like the multi-colored TRD emblem thing on my OEM grill, as shown in the photos of my truck above. But not so much that I wouldn't sell it if someone wanted that thrown back on the TEQ grill. Looks a bit better on there anyway.
