I like the grill. I would like it even better if it had a blue oval in the middle. Look forward to seeing pics of it on your truck.

I sent a question to the seller on eBay and am waiting for a response. I asked about any supports behind the mesh portion of the grille. You know how some billet/mesh inserts just cover sections of the factory grille and you can still see the factory design behind the insert? I don't care for that look... so if the mesh portion is the only thing in the body of the grille, then I'll buy it because it looks like a quality product.

Well, I finally broke down and purchased the grille... several months ago. I thought that I would post up a pic. I'll be installing this bad boy in the next few weeks. Stay tuned for more pics!

I've seen a few threads where you showed us some parts you had like tires/wheels and I think a lift? but haven't installed.It's a good looking grill though, I like how they maintained the squared off perimeter look of the stock grill. Can't wait to see it installed!

Ha! That's a very good observation! You are correct in that I have purchased many parts but have yet to install any of them. I do plan to install this grille and Eagle Eye headlights within the next two weeks. As for the rest, it will occur at one time. Icon 7" lift kit, tires, wheels, dual stabilizers, 5.38 gears, and differential covers.
I really want to do a completely new exhaust system next (long-tube headers, hi-flow cats, Magnaflow mufflers, etc.) before I do the lift kit. I'm just waiting on the eBay seller to list the long-tube headers that are on backorder. I'm looking for deals of the components to keep the cost down so that kinda dictates what and when I can install the components.
