That grill does look pretty cool. I have one off of an 84 I thought about using on my 93. I wasn't sure if it would fit but it looks like it just might. I am waiting to find a few other things first though. I still need a valance and passenger fender to get me going.

I'd email the guy to figure out exactly how that was achieved. I thought those grills were narrower than the grills on the 91, 92, 93 and 94's. I'd love to do that, I like it much better that the sakatashi grill myself.

That is a sweet looking grill set up. I've never been a fan of those bushwacker flares but they look good on the red truck.

i asked him myself. sounds like he mickey-moused it to fit, but it works i guess. this is what he wrote

u have to cut about an 1 1/2" of length from the top so about 3/4" off each side from the top and taper it to nothing at the bottom, bottom is the same width, the height is also very close. u have to grinf off some of the plastic on the back of the grill to miss the latch, took some playing around and it fits well, for mounting i used heavy duty black zap straps, one in each corner mounting to the rad support. screws through the ends into the headlight bezzels would also help.
