    Has anyone mounted a front camera to an OR or Sport grill? I've found a little bracket but i'm curious if anyone has come up with anything else. THanks

    The OR advanced technology package includes the cameras (multi-terrain monitor). I'm not sure if they started offering this with the 2020 refresh, but I know you can get the 2020 refresh OR grill with a camera. I've got it on my 2021.

    I do not have any additional tech packages on my 2021 and the only camera I have is in the tailgate. Where is the camera in your grill? Can you take a picture of it?

    Crap, is this what the sport grill looks like? I do like the idea though... Hmm... I looked by the toyota emblem and there is just a piece of plastic that'd block the nakita from mounting on the bottom of it. Thinking of just removing that and mounting it there

    THat's definitely not on all ORs. This is where I'd like to mount the camera though.

    Mines a '19 I didn't want to drill or cut so the bent washer squeezes the the grill from the back side with the mounting bracket from the camera on the front. I did add a spacer on the bolt because first time I tightened it down it bent the camera bracket.

    I realize it's not all ORs. You have to have the advanced tech package as I mentioned. I'm not sure when MTM was first an option, maybe 2020? If you didn't have it from the factory, I couldn't tell you how to wire it and unlock the software, but it is an option and there are Toyota part numbers that work with ORs.

    Right on. I may give this a shot. Thanks

    I do not have that package and therefore do not have a camera up front. It's a "bare bones" TRD off road without anything else. I purchased a kit for the anytime backup mod and it came with an aftermarket front camera.

    Yep, I realize that since you've said it twice. You're asking for mounting solutions, correct? I'm letting you know that there is a factory mounting bracket since it is a factory option. If you're interested in the OEM look, you've got that option. Otherwise, others are posting their DIY solutions. Good luck!
