TRD Pro Grille Install for 2016-2019 Toyota Tacoma

[@svtjackal]

The 2 round nuts/inserts need to be removed from the stock grille and put on the TDR pro grille so you can put the 2 screws back on the pro grille

[@jaredpike2483]

I literally laughed when he said this. And, I was following the video! I figured it out before he went there, thankfully. Like yeah, "The TRD pro is the nicest truck, but Toyota decided to use less screws". Haha!

Best video out of the 5 or so I found. Thanks for taking the time to go through the details. I ended up ordering all OEM though because I live in Northern NY and want to be sure the plastics hold up when the temps drop to -10 to -20 in the winter.

[@JoshuaBishop93]

Uhhhh, where’s the grill on the website? I see blemished ones that are sold out, but are y’all no longer selling brand new ones? I was saving up towards getting one with color matching letters for my inferno taco

[@flexr642]

Any word on this??

[@JonBecker81]

All this junk is made in China. It’s hard to get stuff from there. A lot of things are unavailable now.

[@magnaxilorius]

I’m wondering if they got hit with a cease and desist from Toyota because of their trademarked name. I know having the letters removed from the grill is how other places get around that law.

[@thehitchslap]

I still can't find them on their site. Out of stock or not it should still be in there.

[@3zm4rtin]

Great vid! Just a quick update on securing the studs on the cover plate and having more than one bolt holding the sensor. If you are converting from a TRD Off-Road with the sensor you can migrate over the nuts and bolts from your original grille which will firmly hold the sensor in place on the new grille. (1 screw, 2 nuts/bolts left and right of the sensor) Also according to Toyota, you also need to use two new push nuts on the pegs at the top of the sensor. All those in place hold the sensor very securely. just completed my upgrade. with no issues.

[@sterlingbeale2522]

Just so you know the nuts from the old grill pop out and go into the new grill

[@tomrodriguez3166]

I just replaced my grill on my 2017 Tacoma yesterday. Question : I didn’t have to remove the 4 pop up fasteners on the bottom to remove the grill. Don’t want to have made a mistake. Is that step not required on the 2017 ??

[@chicayellow7243]

Bought this grill from you guys and I love it BUT one of the letters came off and is now missing? Do u sell replacement letters?

[@tedriclolis2872]

Two things... 1) You can use push washers for the top two pegs that come out the back to make it even more secure. 2) Many Tacoma owners also get the extended wire harness to hide the wires better. Great vid though. Excited to see how the black one turns out with more mods.

[@Runnin4Tacos]

Tedric Lolis yeah completely forgot the metal washers. Thanks

Looking to get this for my 2019 TRD OR. I am still at stock height. I know that the Pro grill lowers the TSS sensor by a few inches from the OR grill. Do I need to get it recalibrated now after installing the Pro grill and again after lifting the truck?

[@SimplyCarReviews]

No you do not. I lifted my truck 3 inches and added 33 inch tires sensor works as intended. Same as stock.

[@duckalum5762]

I removed the 2 bolts and all of the pop rivets just like in the video and the grill will not pop off. It wants to take the front bumper with it. What the hell am I doing wrong? I’ve tried easing it off, forcibly pulling, shaking. I’m not going to rip the damn thing off and I’m at a loss at this point. 2019 TRD Off Road.

I thought the video said that it we wouldn’t need to do that. I painted the T and A’s background black because they were grey. Overall, I’m happy with the product. I bought a genuine garnish too. No error codes.
