    I just got done putting on the 2018 TRD pro grill on my 2018 TRD OR. I just tested the adaptive cruise control everything worked perfectly.

    Thanks the the other posters on this forum I understood that for 2018 you need the correct grill and garnish.

    The part numbers are in the following pictures. I got the parts on EBay.

    I had to improvise the harness clip mounts. The mount points are in a different location.

    Also have 2 star washers ready to secure the garnish to the grill. I too the washers off the TRD off OR.

    I saw that somebody posed earlier that the garnish was loose. I suspect they did not have the star washers on the 2 pegs.

    Can you post pictures of how to use the starlock washers? Mine came in the mail and I've yet to disassemble my grill but dont remember anywhere where they would fit.

    The star washers are upper left and right. They have to be tight or the garnish will vibrate. They are a bit difficult to install and need to match the posts in diameter. I’m not sure what the size is. I used the ones that came off OR grill.
