    Still stock completely capable!

    Had mine for 2 years now I love it! Get lots and lots of compliments! I wanted a pro grille but didn’t want the same as every other tacoma on the planet(not that it’s bad I love the people grille still)! It’s my favourite mod and would 100% do it again! I’ve smoked a bird and the grille didn’t feel it! Never had a TSS issue!! I love it and you will too!! Can’t say enough how much I love it! And also Greg the owner of the company is a solid guy! He keeps you in the loop and was helpful the whole way! Give him a shout and go from there! @greg8765 take over from here!

    I’ve had mine for a few months. No problems with the TSS.

    I really love how this grille looks but I have the anytime backup front camera. Not sure how that would mount.

    Empyre looks like poo. That x-trek looks really clean. If I ever replace the heritage grill I have, I’ll likely go x-trek.

    I'd go with a 2020+ off road grill before any of these

    nah... I’m good. Not a fan of the big “Rudolf” nose on the grill. I like the classic “heritage” look.

    Lights, stickers, audio, and a grille…
    I’ve had mine since July 2020 with no issues. Even mounted some DD stage series light bars to it. Mines a ‘16, so no TSS. The only thing I don’t like about it is the fitting in the grille opening. There’s a gap, and I could see some silver between the grille and the surround. So I just painted the silver bits black, and problem solved. Would’ve been nice if it was an exact fit though, but I understand tolerances have to be allotted for…:notsure:
