    Wow!! Thanks for your service Sir. I crewed RF-4C's for several years, then moved on to me KC-135R. Now I am a CMSgt, working as a maintenance superintendent. Just returned from Afghanistan November 2018. Going to make it 40 and punch out.

    I finally got around to installing the Seven Sparta Pro Grill and garnish that I bought off of Amazon for $150. It really was a simple swap, and for the price, it is a pretty dramatic improvement to the looks of the truck.

    It was nice today so I installed the Amazon one along with the raptor lights. I also swapped out the badges for black ones along with installing the tailgate lettering.

    I think it looks good. Just needs a 3” lift, TRD Pro 4Runner wheels along with some 285/70/17 or 285/75/-7 KO2 tires.

    I have the TSS sensor on my 2019 and I didn’t have any warning lights at all.

    My $74 grille was delivered today! I’ve been on the fence for a while whether or not I wanted one, but couldn’t resist for the price. Also extremely happy I went with a known seller that ships the 2-piece grille (no sick on letters, no weird paint on the T and A). Thanks @neegra

    eBay post: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Upper-Grill-Grille-2016-2019-Toyota-Tacoma-TRD-PRO-/253944548229

    I’ll probably install in a couple weeks and install my anytime front camera at the same time. Still waiting on that to be delivered.

    It looks good. Alittle flash in a couple spots but that cleaned up easily with a razor blade. I got the Amazon one so it had the stick on letters. Should of just kept my eBay order and got the other one without the stick on letters.

    The Install was super easy

    I found one with the same description and pic, I may try it and if it sucks I’ll sell it locally to someone who doesn’t care about the odd letters.

    Awesome, Yeah I’m pleased as well. The quality is excellent. Very minor blemish in the side of one of the letters but that’s hardly even worth mentioning
