    I did a google search and found 3 or 4 different companies that make them for the 2016 Tacos.

    I think there is a few out there that are totally just putting 2016 in their specs without testing fit. I have only seen one pic of them on an actual taco and he said its a 2014 model he modified. Kinda suspicious about the companies who have a generic pic not on a taco.

    Ha! I noticed how tight it looked in the pic. There's actually room enough to open the driver's side doors all the way and room to walk in between the cars. That being said, I definitely see a three car garage in my future.

    Searching does wonders. I was wondering if my old bull bar from my 13' would fit, plus mods necessary...and you sir have answered it. Looks good!

    Just did my grill today. I'm pleased. That nasty grill provided by Toyota is just hideous. This is how it should have come from the factory.IMG_4760.jpg

    I used all the products a previous poster used. Paint, adhesive promoter, clear, and high grade clear. I like it. I'm no expert painter and for my skill set it's great.

    Same routine. Until I find an aftermarket grille I like. Took me 3 hours with a 30 min break.

    Funny story. So I got in an accident, and a among other things, got couple of scuffs on my grille. I told one guy at the body shop that it was custom, but the other guy missed the memo. Today he called me saying he had sent pictures to corporate and everything trying to understand why they got a chrome replacement. Anyway, they told me they would redo it and make sure it was made to last. Just couldn't "guarantee" it.

    Also, I added some pics of the great work others have done to the OP.

    I have the same color and look to do the same. Thanks for sharing. I have some trepidation taking apart my new truck and engaging in this project, but it looks like it's do-able
