looks great lootown. I agree you are lucky on the 08's that your latch does not require you to cut a whole in the mesh to get to the hood latch. That is the only thing that has kept me from going with the mesh grill because I really like the look of it.

i wonder is there is a way to convert to a 2008 style hood latch with some mods and bends to the linkage???

Hey thanks for the share went out and bought chrome paint 2day and was going to do the grille, 2morrow im taking back the paint and getting gutter screen. Awesome looking truck.

Thanks for the DIY, here's mine..

nice mod! what did it do to your engine temps?

Looking for grill options for the audi but dont want to cut cooling at all.

i diddnt see much change...im sure the truck adapts to it a lil(senses the warmer temp maybe and opening the stat a lil more often if at all.

would th emesh let more air in?
