    Am in the market to upgrade the grill but I haven't seen any one sell a grill that for the front camera well. Has anyone installed it without flaws? If one does go aftermarket ... How would they go about installing the front camera?

    Arb summit bumper. Morimoto led headlights and new grill. Grill and lights have sequential turn signals.
    I put the anytime backup camera front kit on my grill, just had to drill a hole.
    You can't see it in the pics but it works fine.
    And I do have a aftermarket grill.
    The camera is just below the center amber light.

    Anyone know of good positions on an 18-19 Offroad grille?
    Almost think I'd have to use 2 plates screwed together ti 'sandwich' part of the grille to provide a wide enough surface to screw through for the camera mount.

    I think it’ll be easier if you got a TRD Pro grill

    I didn’t want to drill in to my pro grill so I cut a hockey puck and wedged it into the grill.

    See, this is what I'm talking about. more people need to figure things out. Try it, see if it works, modify it then refine as necessary

    Takes about 5 minutes to find the right size fender washer. Most of that time is spent checking out the new cashier.

    Thanks for all the advice, it looks like it's very manageable with some Mcguivering, can you guys share how your front cameras look on your screens? Are the angles of your camera looking ok?

    Has anyone put in the OEM cameras from 2020s on the aftermarket grills?

    Here is mine. I have it angles so I can see the front edge of my bumper. Great for parking and off-roading though it does tend to get hard to see when it gets dusty on trail in the summer.
