    Just put a SR5 grill on my Sport today, think I like it a lot better than the chrome one.The reason I posted is becausetruck 027.jpg when I picked it up I asked the guy how he liked his truck,he said he absolutely loved it.It actually made me a little sad because at this point I cannot say that,lol.
    Really at this point my only real complaints are the wind noise and the buzzy vibration.I have had all of the transmission issues,low fluid and TSB.Can honestly say mine shifts ok but I am still concerned about long term reliability.

    I like that look. Haven't seen that grill on many sports. I have to say that 7 months into my '17 DCLB Sport, and I love it.

    I really do think Toyota should consider to put the TRD PRO, and this SR5 Grill on all the Tacoma. The Off Road grill is not too impressive IMO.

    Looks great and a nice find for $50. Much nicer than the regular grill IMO and similar to the Limited model grill I put in mine. After driving the 2nd gen Tacoma for 11 years (and it was a great truck also) I gotta say that I really do enjoy this new Tacoma, had the TSB done for the transmission and no other problems and no regrets.

    I have complained about my truck a lot, in the end it seem's as though it will probably be a good vehicle.Already at 23k with no other issues,gas mileage is awesome.After driving a Toyota of one kind or another since 1986 with absolutely no major issues it has been very frustrating to deal with being told that my issues are normal.In the end though I will probably be in a Toyota till I can no longer drive.

    The only thing thats great about the offroad grill is that you can't see it from the drivers seat.
