2017 Grille Swap

Hey there,

No offence intended for anyone, but I can't stand the shiny grille of the 2017 TRD Sport and TRD Off-Road, and the grille on SR5 is too open and cheap looking, but the TRD Pro grille is really nice. Does anyone know if it is an easy job to swap out the grill on an SR5 for a TRD Pro grille? The guy at the local parts counter said the front bumper covers on the TRD Pro and SR5 are not the same, so he thought that maybe it wasn't just a matter of switching out one grille for the other. Thanks.

 

They are the same and will swap out.

It's almost too easy. Popping all the clips on the old grill is the most time consuming/hardest part.

 

This. It took me forever to undo the clips of my OR grille and I still damaged about half of them. Putting in the new one takes like 2sec

 

Thanks guys!

 

I swapped mine out. IMO it is the best cosmetic change to do.

 

The TRD grille is a must do mod for any 3rd gen

 

It's a close second to the BAMF

 

Easy as 123.

 

These also swap out

 

Haha that’s true! I would get a BAMF grille if they didn’t take so long to be delivered
