TRD Pro grill

No problem. It is pretty straight forward. Just take your time with the first few clips... once you get the hang of a couple it's easy. All 4 videos are correct minus the bottom 4 clips. So watch a few and it should go well. Good luck.

 

Here is a great video of the Pro grill install with lots of close-ups of clips and tabs.

not sure what most folks are still paying for these grills, but I got one from kingsway toyota in edmonton CA. Thanks to a favorable exchange rate, I paid under $330 shipped to southeast texas (it was about 440 CAD). They inspected the grill and repackaged it to ensure it would make it without damage, though we'll see when it arrives tomorrow.

 

Got mine from https://tacomatownonline.com/products/16-trd-pro-grill. Cdn$425 +tax. No shipping fee because Josh delivered it to my door when he was on his way to Edmonton. I was on their waiting list and he emailed me when they had the grille in stock. Very nice guy to deal with.

 

I made the plunge and bought through Josh with Cochrane Toyota. Less than a week later, it was here packed securely with no broken tabs and a free Toyota fleece blanket in the box. It was $405USD with the exchange rate, including shipping.

 

All you Americans bought these grills in droves (don't blame you, HELL of a deal with the conversion)....I'm betting 80% went across the border. I live 20 minutes away and missed this completely. They have been out of stock for months now, and have no eta on when they are re-stocking...ugh.
EDIT: Looks like they JUST re-stocked haha...well shit!

 

Trd pro emblem on non pro? I guess it's same as putting on a grille lol

 

The grille doesnt say anything but toyota

 

I ain't hating bro I have one too lol. I don't think I'd do the emblem though

 

Grill only says Toyota, not Toyota PRO but I agree, you shouldn't put TRD or PRO badges on anything not TRD or PRO.

 

I would agree with you on PRO but not necessarily TRD. My reasoning is TRD makes parts that aren't "just" for TRD editions of something. TRD makes parts as well as trim levels.

So for instance, it would be dumb to put a "TRD Off Road" or "TRD Sport" sticker on my SR, but parts that just so happen to say TRD on them isn't being poser.

I love my PRO grille, but I wouldn't have bought it if it said anything but "TOYOTA" in exactly the style I wanted.



Now my big decision is what to do with the lettering.

White to match the body, Inferno Orange for a splash of color, or maybe hit up my friend who does Hydro Dipping and get them in desert digicam for a little unique touch?

 

TRD performance parts on the truck then yes to add the badge, but no to TRD badges without TRD parts.

 

I hate badges. If there was a clean badgeless grille, and we didnt have to do body work to get rid of the stamped in "TACOMA" on the tailgate, there would be nothing on the truck.

 

The mirror caps looks great.

 

Very nice.

 

Pros don't have that. Thanks lol

 

I love the tacoma in the tailgate, and the Toyota on the grill, the rest can go.

 

Thats how the truck is now except for the TRD vinyl stickers on the bedsides because the wife likes them lol

 

I went with a manual shift Quicksand 6 months later. Hated the auto tranny. Both are set up exactly the same...and yes that's correct on the tires. Suspension is stock. Yes, the grille is a cheap fix! That's how Toyota should have done it originally (my two cents)...good luck!

 

Finally...
