What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

I just plopped them there after UPS came to my door but yeah I had to move them to another location. Man they are smelly.

 

Has anyone removed the grill on a 2015 specifically?!?! The removal process doesn't seem to be the same. Can't get this damn thing off.

 

have you removed all of the upper and lower plastic push pins? I've done it a number of times and it needs a decent tug on the bottom area of the grille to remove it. The first time you might think something is wrong but once you know what it needs they pop out no problem.

 

It should be the same, did you remove the two pins in the lower corners? The lower guidance tabs connecting to the bumper need a little convincing.

 

I pulled them all. The ones on the bottom appear to be attached to the bumper/plastic peice under the headlight.

 

The whole where I already removed one Push clamp looks like it actually needs to be there because it's part of the plastic peice under the headlight.

 

Can someone post a picture of their grill to see if it's the same?

 

This ^^^

I believe there are two screws and two of those plastic pins, all at the top.

The first time I did it, I just puckered up and yanked hard on the bottom as pothers have said, and off it popped, no harm done.

 

And you're speaking to specifically a 2015?

 

re

Yep, as it says in my profile. I got a Satoshi and I was doing a dry run to familiarize myself with it. It might help got get an inspection mirror so you can see down under there from behind. A series of flat, blade-type tabs that actually don't have any catches on them, IIRC. I think it is just angle and pressure that holds them in after you undo to the top.

These 2nd gens are like freaking Lego. And I'm not sure I like that.

 

Literally just ripped it off. For those of you wondering. You don't take any push pin clamps off the bottom of a 2015. Only the two on the top. And the two screws as well. I really had to yank Lol

 

Yeah, it is not very mechanically normal or satisfying.

 

Found out my Tailgate skin and top cap, as well as my roll-up Tonneau cover are all on the way! Installation will be my next projects when they arrive! Come on, FedEx!

 

It's a bitch. The clips on the bottom don't really move. Push them down softly and try to wiggle the grille forward and off. There are 5 or 6 clips total I think.

It's a pain.

Finally got my SOS rear bumper mounted, still need to get license lights working, and install the trailer electric plug!
Pic taken during install, started to rain on me, so didn't get a finished pic...


You didn't read the post, that was during install, before I finished the rain hit...


After install V

 

Barely. Only 24,000km on it. Spend more time on the road in the work truck than at home and in my own
