I also added 2, 45 watt cree spot lights as well. Here is a video showing the process.

Fantastic! I am liking the series.

Ebay rhino Grilles are ~ $200. One right now has the grille, the emblem AND the pie pans for 200.

Here is mine when I first bought her last Oct...

and After (About March of this year)

I had to move my trans cooler, but it was easy with a little help from Mr. Dremel. The tabs were a pain as I am not a welder, so I made mine out of sheet metal and self tapping screws and hid them with the cover.

Nice! I'd rather put $200 towards a lift and tires right now. I have to the material to custom make a grill.

I converted my 79 pig nose to a Rhino grill. I salvaged the entire setup from a J3000 I found in a junkyard.

Here's a link showing various pics of the conversion.http://fsjnetwork.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10123

I am always amazed by the fabrication skill of folks here. I have never welded anything, so to me it's friggin magic.
