Hey Venom, Its a long way for me to take it to your next meeting. Maybe you can come over here & I'll put you up for a while. Get my grill done at the same time. LOL.

Venom · 05-23-2005, 10:01 PM

I'd absolutely love to!
take me into the bush for awhile and let me catch some snakes, a couple tigers, mulgas, some browns and a few taipans and I'd be happy
throw in some blacksnakes and a couple bandy-bandy's and I'm there!

Hey Venom - you may not believe this but I live about 20 minuets drive from your mate Steve Erwin. Him & his Crocs get a bit of attention here but I think you guys love him more that us. Been there a couple of times. Pretty good setup he has thanks to your US$$$$ been invested.

I'm not a fan of his
Steve-o is a bit too "look at me"
takes way too many chances, makes those of us who keep crocs and venomous snakes responsibly look like thrill seeking wackos
he encourages people to mess with stuff that they shouldn't "just grab a bushy stick, isn't she a beauty!"
I keep plenty of venomous & crocs but I use proper tools and caution

but yeah, I want to come out that way for vacation some time pretty darn bad!

Hey Venom,

Just ordered 10mm (3/8") wheel well molding over here in Brisbane. I'll have it Thursday. I spose it is pretty simple to fit. Just cut it to length, clean the OEM Grill spotless & stick it on. I think you said to do every second bar right? HD DUDE

kromdom · 05-24-2005, 01:56 AM

when I did this mod on my '01, I decided to remove the entire grille and applied the chrome molding. I was able to work on it laying flat on a table and then put everything back on.

Venom · 05-24-2005, 02:13 AM

on the 02s & 03's it's pretty easy to do on the truck
the grill flexes back in the mounts plenty far enough, cut your strips so they are 15-20mm longer than the opening width, push the grill back and tuck it under the valence 8-10mm on each side.
every other one is almost identical to the spacing on the top grill.
