Default Busted grille

So I came home from a 10 month deployment to find that my big horn grille had a few busted slats in it. Of course the wife has no idea how it happened. If she does, she bluffs well. Before I drop the money for a new one at the dealership, I figured I would ask on here to see if anyone had a billet or honeycomb grille laying around they wanted to get rid of. Let me know, or if anyone knows a good website for a replacement.

Check in the classifieds section on this forum and put want to buy and someone may contact you, or search around n someone may have one for sale.

Check ebay or amazon as well.

I do.

In fact I was thinking about mounting it in my garage with accent lighting behind it. It's the chrome shell, with chrome honeycomb insert. I replaced it with brilliant black sport grille, since it's a sport model.

You need just the inserts? I need the outside surround part, maybe we could split what Power Sedan is selling if the price is right. Unless you want the whole thing.

I also have a chrome honeycomb grill. Basically brand new, only on the truck for 1 month until I ordered a body color ( TRX ) style. It has been in the shed for almost 3 years now, in the same box the body colored one came in.

I bought mine from a ebay dealership store somewhere in Arizona. I believe it was $375 + shipping. The local dealerships around me could only come in around $475 bottom end. One even tried pitching $575, LMAO! That was just ludicrous!

Two words: Gutta' Mesh...

About five bucks, more durable than any plastic crap and if you do hit something hard enough to f*ck it up, it's five bucks again!!! I used it when I cut out my scoop to make it functional and many have used it to replace their entire grill. It looks real good IMO. Plus, you can paint it any color you want or leave it unpainted (although I'd at least hit it with a couple of coats of clear, the sun can bleach the aluminum to a milky white left untreated...
