    When I got mine it just says the CRASH DETECTION cannot activate at this time. Sensors for the lane travel and stuff still work.

    Oh I love the black on your hood. I was getting pissed at the way it reflected off mine. Even without the scoop that sports have, its horrible. Glad you found a solution that’s both appealing and useful

    I think you'll like Front Bumper OE TRD PRO Grille Kits For TOYOTA Tacoma 2016 2017 2018 PT228-351. Add it to your wishlist!

    https://www.wish.com/share/4279cvqcpw


    Here’s another just like it
    Enter flash in the code to save $3
    Here’s what one I just found came out to in checkout
    E15A56E9-BC89-476A-9366-AA57C975B22E.jpg
    I think I did mine standard shipping
    My letters were shipped separate and came a few days later. 8D83E750-2BF9-4C8B-B987-E8714A3ABAEF.jpg It’s double sided tape for each letter. (Not OEM) and I added monster glue on the backside for over killFD031BA0-CCB9-4D23-865D-84C0A7DA881B.jpg
    Looked good to me!
    E72F145E-F32B-4DE7-A93A-A716C3871D7E.jpg
    All these on wish are basically the same. Also if there’s a problem “wish” is pretty good with refunding in a few days!

    Removal is not very difficult but if you don’t want to break the old one go slow on the tabs. There’s a few YouTube videos showing easy steps
    155BD0B8-2CE3-4E77-91C0-30EBD81826E6.jpg

    Also install was easy. It clicked right in...9BEE689C-CAA9-4A0F-B2C0-39DE07847DEE.jpg
    Getting the old grill and bezel out sucked! I didn’t want to break it. Figure id keep it for spare parts.A8D0E926-24E5-4BB0-AE3E-8FE1D812C5E4.jpg

    Thank you! The vinyl does a great job in reducing the reflections. Pick it up from here (Extra Wide+Long version to cover the cowl):

    Mine is a 2017. I have zero TSS bullshit! I know the one on wish doesn’t come with the garnish . As you can see in the photo below it’s got a spot for it.

    Since mine doesn’t have it can’t tell you about where to get any parts you need.
    Again my 17 sport was the last model to not have the beeping to notify you someone is on the side/front/behind you. I learned how to drive at Drivers Ed in school. Thanks government for trying to take over how we drive or react!

    How long have you been running your grill? For the first 100 miles mine had an error, then the system adapted to the new obstruction in a slightly different place than stock off road grill. No problems since other than when the sensor is actually blocked. I don’t have garnish. My original grill also gave the sensor blocked message in snow/ice weather so no biggie to me.

    Back in my day you actually had to wait for a used one to pop up to get a decent price on one.

    Ok... I just washed it . It 17* outside but here’s a close up!
    Shit should be ok !

    The money shot!

    14961CFB-E890-40DB-BCFC-72EDDDBFA2AB.jpg

    For $90-$100 it’s well worth it!
    Again mine is “PRE-TSS” so I took a closer look.
    Again mine was bought on wish and I love it for $100. I got a $100 visa gift card for Christmas. I used that on some weekly bills and used my credit card to order the grill so if there was problems I could protest and get my refund.
    *i recommend doing the same *

    9B4CBAB4-9F9D-42D9-A6E2-886CCF8D9961.jpg Grill came packed nice and solid with foam protection. Also the letters were shipped separate probably to avoid Toyota copyright . The letters 81AE447D-4628-46E8-B4F7-48986C01A68E.jpg came in a box 3 days later with pre cut double sided tape. 10EF2970-780E-4672-B1A9-EB292A175D51.jpg This tape holds the emblems on your truck such as Tacoma, 4x4, V6, etc. I used monster glue


    DCA5BF21-FA96-4F79-A22F-BF5B328359E9.jpg on the backside where the plastic pieces joined together just for over kill. Washed it probably 20 times since installing and looks great. My wife still doesn’t understand the meaning of upgrading or “mods” she said it’s brand new and the grill looked fine. I am now rethinking marriage! Ahhhh... just Kidding.. if my wife is watching this thread.... ahhhh.. oh yeah, I love you more than my Tacoma!
