I think I like it, and wish the pictures of your truck weren't so tiny so I could see it. Welcome aboard.

That looks so awesome. I have definitely though about doing something similar. I just have not gathered up the juevos to start chopping the grill. How did you attach the mesh?

Wiring attached to bolts and mesh, thought about bending it in and glue but the powder coating flaked that way.

I like the idea, but not the bolt heads. Same grill w/o the bolt heads would be awesome to me. But it's yours, so who am I to say...

I found this grille on ebay. It is one piece. The mesh is part of the grille.
