    Switching out the 2019 stock grill for the tacoma was wondering how you would go about it with the sensors being in the tacoma logo.
    Thanks

    Just make sure its a TSS compatible grille. Those will have a relocation bracket for the sensor.
    You could get the all too popular PRO grille and the garnish, or there are a few aftermarket companies that make a 2018 plus grille.
    Some have said they changed with no issues, some have reported having a warning for a few miles, I guess its just luck of the draw.
    The sensor has a connector for the wires and a few fasteners holding it to the grille.

    I just picked up a 19 with TSS behind emblem, considered a Pro grill, but 1 week driving it, I have only seen 1 other non-Pro grill. Dozens of Pro grills around here. So I will keep my rare stock grill.

    Thats why I just changed the trim. Got rid of the chrome and used a part for the SR. Made it look better without going full Bro.

    That’s why I’m holding onto my Off-road grille after pro-swapping. Considering a low winch mount and the pro grille location for TSS challenges the hoop on those mounts.

    Same here. I may eventually get an aftermarket but not a PRO anymore.

    Is there a part number for the trim? I have a TRD sport and would love to change the trim from chrome to black.
