2018 TRD PRO Grille w/ TSS-P Radar Info/DIY

Waiting on the same thing before I get one lol

 

There are lots of videos showing how to take the grille off, that's really all you need to see. As far as the garnish goes, it lines up with 3 tabs and 2 posts which you need the star washers to lock in place. Disconnect the sensor and reattach to the pro grille before you put it back in place. It's a 10 minute operation. The hardest part is getting the stock grille insert off without breaking any tabs.

 

It might sound a bit intimidating at first... but after reading this about 217 times, it's not that bad (I hope lol!).

 

Will read

 

Better make it 218 lol lmk if u sked

 

Purchased grille on eBay. Modified Toyota garnish - cutting upper standoff’s and drilled for screws. Cut garnish lower tabs and mounted standoff’s for screws.

Thanx for everyone’s input on this thread. Came out awesome

 

@joostin420 looks dope! Masshole for life lol.

 

Thanx. I am on the live free or die boarder

 

Looks awesome

 

Hey, I hate to be a dumbass, but just want to make sure that the eight Philip’s head screws that hold the chrome trim don’t go back in, correct? The only thing holding the grill are the snap in tabs, correct?

 

correct no screws , I looked like 5 times before snapping it together thinking how is this going to hold but its solid.

 

Thanks! Yea, it went back together pretty smooth. Then I look over and see all these screws sitting there and I’m thinking WTF are those?

The garnish isn’t as snug as I would like. I used some push on units from Ace, but couldn’t get it factory snug. I had to cut the factory ones off. Hopefully, it won’t rattle.

 

I used some new star nuts and mine rattled a little bit , ended up using hot glue on it as well. worked great
congrats on new grill

 

I thought about using some glue, but we’ll see if I can hear it rattle. It seems like it’s held on ok, I think the post was a little bit longer than the push on was deep so it couldn’t go on all the way.

Did you actually hear yours rattle?

 

When I put on garnish and tried to get new star locks to lock down far as possible it had a slight rattle. Didn't even give it chance to rattle on truck. I just put some hot glue all over star locks before snapping grill in place. I wouldn't think you would hear it I just over do things.

 

@joostin420 funny you say that, I’m on the other side of that border... the good side i should say lol. For real though, grew up in mass now in NH.

 

I bought the OEM star nuts on Amazon Prime delivered to my door for $8.
