That grille looks great! I wish the Tundra was full-sized. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

How much larger do you want it? Since 2007, Tundras (and Nissan Titans) have been roughly the same size as F-150s and Silverados. Pre-2007 Tundras were smaller...about three-fourths to seven-eighth the size of domestic trucks. Titans were always the size of domestics...they were never a smaller size like older Tundras.

I dunno, but whenever I sit inside a Tundra, I feel cramped. Same with my 6' 2" son. I owned an Avalanche, and have driven multiple Silverados as well as Sierras. They feel way roomier than the Tundra.

Got rid of the chrome bumper caps.

Did you have to have them swapped out for non-chrome parts, or was there some sort of cover and you had that removed and them painted?

It was a swap. Removed the chrome portion and installed the painted one.

It looks great! I really like your white Tundra. I rarely see them in white.

So it's finally making sense why your signature line says 1792 Edition. 1794 - 1 (grille) - 1 (bumper caps) = 1792 If you change the chrome on the mirrors it'll be a 1791? Or should it actually be the 1796 edition because you improved it?

So are these literally covers that go over the ends of a more substantial bumper that's underneath or are they more substantial themselves as in a solid piece that's bolted on? You should post action shots....it's fun to see things taken apart.

It does look great no matter what edition it is

OMG I'm embarrassed! I can't believe I did that! I'll fix it right away!

This is all basically a bumper cover. There's a thick metal beam that runs behind what you see.
