How To: Install TRD Pro Grille on 2014-2021 Tundra

[@MaddoxMelton]

Imo this is a must to mod. Makes it look so much better

[@hotshotoffroad]

Absolutely! Couldn't agree more

[@rhoodj]

​@@hotshotoffroad 2014 don't have the sensor, I think😮

[@gitcheegoomee]

Thank you for this Sir. I need to replace my grille, left front bumper, and passenger mirror, but have no clue where to begin. Your video has helped tremendously. Great job!

[@hotshotoffroad]

Glad to hear that it helped out!

[@ramirozamora8117]

That truck looks awesome Planning to do something like that on my 2016 tundra

[@hotshotoffroad]

You should! It's been one of the biggest single visual changes to the truck for sure.

[@MichaelRogers-p4z]

Doing this exact mod, very helpful video..thank you!

[@JasonLabriola]

Watching this video reinforce my belief that grill covers are a way better and cheaper option

[@ilovescotch666]

Incredibly helpful video, thank you!

[@hotshotoffroad]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting us know!

[@boneskull4207]

Awesome video and thank you. I know it's about a year later but did you get the pre collision sorted out? If it's in another video I apologize I just found your content. Be safe and be blessed!

[@hotshotoffroad]

Yes I did. I purchased a different TSS sensor cover and it has worked flawlessly since! I would link you to it, but the listing that I used is now gone.

[@cb4x4]

Looks much better!

[@trivvOnbizz]

could you please list the materials needed to do this

[@c1rca23]

Thanks for the vid. My mgm bulge and trd pro grille are coming in the mail!

[@hotshotoffroad]

Glad to hear that it helped!

[@dariohernandez8953]

What website did you buy from? TIA

[@c1rca23]

@@dariohernandez8953 sparks Toyota I believe. Or possibly south Dade Toyota of Dade FL. They have better shipping rates and sometimes discount codes to apply.

[@rferreyra10]

great video. where did you get the sensor garnish (cover)

[@rferreyra10]

did you find a better version of the garnish?

[@hotshotoffroad]

We did! Not sure if this link will work for you, but we purchased this one and it addressed our issue. www.ebay.com/itm/125106670416?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=ua_kzmrksta&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=9ge5zoNOQ8a&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@rhoodj]

​@@hotshotoffroad2014 don't need this.. can you confirm 👍🏽?

[@TheAngryCamper]

yeah, that grill is sweet!!!!!

[@hotshotoffroad]

Absolutely love it. Thank you!

[@ryanmcclain8900]

There's a company called AJT Design that makes a TSS sensor relocation bracket for $50 that is supposed to re-position the sensor so it still functions with aftermarket sensor covers. I haven't tried it yet but just letting you know. 👍

[@hotshotoffroad]

Appreciate the reply! We did end up getting it figured out by going to a different sensor garnish. As for that bracket directly it's really cool! However, it's for moving the sensor on a grille that wasn't initially built to support a TSS sensor. Fortunately for us the '21 grille that we picked up already had a spot for our sensor. It just couldn't see through the first garnish we picked up!

[@derricksbowman1006]

@@hotshotoffroad I'm having the same issue could you explain what you did to fix the code.

[@hotshotoffroad]

@@derricksbowman1006 We ended up having to buy a different TSS garnish. We just picked up a different one on Ebay for like $17 at the time, and it has worked without issue.

[@juniorsarmiento7292]

Would the 2018+ honeycomb grille fit a 2015 SR5?

[@hotshotoffroad]

Yes. The only time you run into issues is that if you would be trying to go the other direction (Ex installing a 2015 grille on a 2018). The older trucks didn't have the TSS radar system so installing one of them on a newer truck leaves no place for the radar sensor to go.

[@EatLotsOfCurry]

@@hotshotoffroad so a 2018-21 grill and bulge would fit a 2014?

[@hotshotoffroad]

Yes it would. The bulges are exactly the same. The grilles will have a cutout for the TSS sensor on the 18+ that you'll need to find a cover for, but the mounting points and shape are the same.

[@EatLotsOfCurry]

@@hotshotoffroad awesome. Thanks so much!!

[@salr.4550]

Where can I order the grill?

[@shalommall4255]

I cant find a senor cover that works for my truck. Which one did you end up finding?

[@hotshotoffroad]

We found this one on ebay and it has worked well for us. www.ebay.com/itm/265517493439

[@matthewmorris3997]

So why are these so much cheaper than Sparks Parts? Just for the sensor cover is over $300 and they’re charging over a $1k for the rear bumper covers.

[@matthewmorris3997]

And any updates on the sensor cover?

[@hotshotoffroad]

I'm terribly sorry that I didn't see this. I have no idea why the OEM sensor covers are so expensive. We had to purchase a couple to get it right, but so far a couple of years later no issues!

[@oliverpehrson8569]

What’s the website you got this from?

[@hotshotoffroad]

Picked it all up from www.paintedoemparts.com/ . Been very happy with their work!

[@smokeymoe842]

I prefer the oem crome on my black Tundra it gives it a classy look easier to clean.

[@hotshotoffroad]

There's definitely folks that love their chrome! Can't take that away from ya! We prefer the color match most of the time over here though when we can.

[@chrisgeorge3350]

Did you get the PCS sensor working?

[@hotshotoffroad]

We did! Found a different aftermarket sensor cover and it worked like a charm.

[@BernardRoman27]

I have a 2021 tundra trial edition. I know the TRD Pro Grille will fit, but my question is will I need to order a new sensor cover? Or can I use my existing sensor and transfer it to the TRD Pro Grille?

[@hotshotoffroad]

You will almost assuredly need a new sensor cover. As far as I know all OEM grilles that are not the TRD pro version have a round sensor cover. The TRD Pro is the only one with a rectangular cover I believe.

[@madmattycalcutta1]

Where did you purchase your components and how much ?

[@hotshotoffroad]

We purchased from www.paintedoemparts.com . I don't want to speak on pricing as market pricing fluctuates around, but I have no problem giving the thumbs-up for their work.

[@kayewinslow]

Would we have this sensor issue on a 2016 ?

[@hotshotoffroad]

None at all. A 2016 doesn’t even have the sensor to be an issue. Model year 2018 would be the first year for sensor considerations.

[@kayewinslow]

Thank you!

[@kellylambert4527]

Would that new grille fit my 2019 tundra limited?

[@hotshotoffroad]

It sure would! Nothing special would need to be done. The swap would be the same as ours was here!

[@kellylambert4527]

@@hotshotoffroad thank you

[@a.rg.g.5506]

Would this fit a 2020 SR5?

[@hotshotoffroad]

Yes it sure would! No problem at all

[@jeffreyortega3932]

I’m looking for the same kind of grill but with the gloss black finish on the bottom. I noticed where you got yours from is currently charging $600+ for grills. Any idea where I can get one with the gloss black finish? Any help I’d appreciated.

[@hotshotoffroad]

I think that for a painted one you're likely going to be hanging out around that $600 mark. If you want only the lower section you might be able to scratch off about $200, but I don't know many who do that. It might be worth reaching out to/googling Sparks parts as they're known for selling OEM painted parts.
