2018 Grills

There is a part number ending in 70 and 80 what’s the difference hopefully I didn’t get the wrong one

 

What is the difference between these two ??

 

I recently purchased a 2018 TRD PRO (OEM) grill and it just arrived today. Unfortunately, it arrived with a broken tab from the top right. Is anyone aware if it will still be secure if I install it?

 

It’s been stated a few times a broken tab or 2 is no biggie. I wish I could get to the bottom of the part number thing

 

Are you sure both part numbers are for the 2018

ETA: Looks like the 80 is for 2018 and 70 for 2016-17

 

Yes. Unplugged, changed the grill and plug again.

 

I have contacted several dealers a few weeks ago regarding the Pro grille for the 18. One told me they were discontinued and told me I had to order the 17 version...idiot. After that, a few others told me the item was on national backorder and currently on a stop sale until they are caught up. I suspect this is why some dealers are only selling to Pro owners.

 

I placed that order that I posted up last night. Buy morning dealership cancelled it They not only wanted a vin which would have been easy, they wanted copy of registration. I have another plan see how it works out tomorrow....

 

Wow that's crazy that they're cracking down on non-Pro guys purchasing Pro grills.
I just got mine in the mail yesterday thankfully!

Sadly, nearly all the clips ended up breaking on the stock grill. They were so brittle. So rather than selling for $120+, I'll only get like half.

 

So I called my local dealer after the cancellations, gave him part number he ordered said it would be in tomorrow? He didn’t say anything about bringing a registration. Well see I guess

 

Yeah that's what I went with too. Haha No VIN required for the sale.

 

Toyota did this with the Baja wheels back in 2012-3, and the Pro grille in 2015. I tried to bribe a parts guy in 2012 to order me a set of the Baja wheels and I couldn't get my hands on them. The only way to get them was to provide proof of damage, basically. Some members had friends at dealers order one a month and that seemed to work, but Toyota definitely wants to control this. They can't be blind to the fact that a large contingent of the enthusiasts dislike the TRD grills, but why not make the Pro grille different now (add some sort of LED setup or something) and make the regular TRD grille a profit center for them.

I'm hoping the Pro fogs aren't similar now, I was hoping to purchase a set in the not too distant future.

 

Did that part number come with the grill surround? Because mines chrome

 

Placed the order this past Thursday, so I haven't received it yet, but looking at this video a member posted, you can see the grill surround is removed and not reinstalled

 

Just got caught in the after my grill swap... About to order the

$350 53141-35060 Genuine OEM

53141-35060 Garnish.. did you say you had an extra ?

 

Shot down by local dealership today. Toyota intercepted the order and wanted a vin \ reason so they canceled order. Found another local dealer who was super cool he said get me a local vin of internet which I did and a reason for replacement. Said it should be in Wednesday at the latest. I have the garnish that was the easy part !

 

Had but sold. Are members having issue ordering them?

 

Not sure.. Thx.. I got my grill installed last week but didnt take it for a drive until yesterday and started popping the error.. so I just ordered the garnish off ebay for 65 bucks.... any dealer i could find when shipping was added was more than that unfortunately..

 

You installled without the sensor?

 

NO I installed without the Garnish... everything else was perfect...
