Toyota TRD OEM lift kit

Not sure if this has been answered yet or not, but I just sent a text to the sales guy at local Toyota, and he said as long as a lift is under 3" you do not void warranty.

But also said, local shop (not the dealership) installs all their lifts.

 

Im sure its been said somewhere on TW, but another thing about this people might be interested in is the OEM TRD Pro looking grill for $130.... I mean crap, I paid like 175 for a knockoff a few months ago, if only I would have known.

I am planning to grab this one. The lettering is black, but that’s fine with me. This also comes with a camera hole (future project)

 

Is there a part number for the fill piece for the camera hole or does it already come with that?

 

part number appears to be PT413-35210 from looking at the images in the ebay link above. I’ll report back if it comes with a plug once I receive the grille

 

So do the clip perches on the trd lift give the same amount of lift as the regular 5100s?

 

Wonder if it comes with a spare needle bearing for the front diff. It's also rich that Toyota will take your money for this while at the same time telling dealerships to try and disable TSS on vehicles with
"changes in ride height."

 

My Wheelers 3 leaf AAL came into today. Probably won’t get around to installing for a few weeks, so here’s just another teaser pic for now...

 

Much appreciated! Nailed it, 265/70’s. I’m with you, can’t imagine any issues w 275’s.

 

Thanks my man, that’s the grill that came w the kit, works great in my case as I bought the truck w the XP package which blacks out all of the other emblems/badges on the truck. Having the black grill now ties all the trim together nicely I think.

 

Part number for the TRS pro grille garnish is 53141-35060

OEM from the dealer is about $280 if they will sell it to you.

Knockoffs are anywhere from $35-$170

 

Interested to know this as well.

 

Does anyone know if this kit will work with a factory front camera?

 

i thought you needed to provide a TRD PRO VIN to buy the grille from dealerships?

 

I prefer to buy online so Ive never had to deal with VIN's. I think the link I posted would work fine without any VIN.

 

Information for the forum, I called a Toyota dealer and they are in the process of installing one of these kits on a truck now. As far as the "kit" itself, it will work on the models listed on the site, but they are trying to figure out if the OEM camera will prevent the grill from going on at the moment. I'm supposed to get a call back with more information but he said the camera would need to be adjusted, a new milliwave sensor would need to be added & re-calibrated and additional parts needed as well like some have said. My only interest in this was to see if Toyota had made a mistake, allowing people with OEM cameras to somehow get a Pro grille without having to buy a Pro. From what he was kinda saying, it seems like this will not work for the folks that bought the optional OEM camera.

 

In the press release from Toyota it states that the grill has a camera support bracket to retain that functionality. Did the dealer say why they didn't think it would work? I don't have the camera, I'm just curious. The link to the press release is below.

I saw that too, more specific I wanted to "cheat the system" just to get the pro grille. The issue I've ran into is from what was stated on other threads of needing the grille and more parts while having the dealer re-calibrate the entire system for the camera to work properly & safety features. I'm not sure if the camera in the Pro is different, but the parts guys said the front camera view would be way different due to the height change and that is why it might not work. I guess its a personal choice, I just really do not like the OR grille at all.

Short version is: Wanted to switch grille's without having to pay extra cash to get the safety stuff to work correctly while still buying OEM parts.

Hope this gibberish makes sense, maybe when he calls back with more info I'll know more.

 

I believe in this instance because you’re raising the car height and along with it the tss sensor, the pro grill lowers the tss sensor to keep it within spec. I’d be interested to know if you can use an OR tss sensor in this new lift kit grill...

This pro grill has black lettering not silver so maybe now it’s classed as a different grill to what’s on the pro?

 

Has anyone measured the diameter of these shocks? I'm curious if they're 46mm pistons like the 5100s or 36mm or whatever the factory offroad shocks are.
