    Yeah, I get that. To each their own. Not sure if I'll stick with them in the long run. They are not "full time", so you don't see them during the day.

    Very Nice!

    I have a Sport too AND I bought the vintage grill (from the same company) and plan on adding the Raptor lights too.

    Already have the OEM LED headlights on mine so looking at your Sport gives me an idea of the look.

    The Skewp looks good with your set-up.

    Picked up on your distain for them in your first post. Again... to each their own. There are plenty of mods that "serve no purpose" for the Tacoma, and not one person is asking you to do any of them to your truck.

    Look, since you've joined on Monday 90% of your replies are just shitposting on other owners personal choices for their truck. I'm not here to feed the trolls any more than they already get. Move along.

    I had to look at his post history and you're not wrong. I always wonder what makes these kinds of people tick.

    I love the Skewp on my Sport.

    I love Raptor Lights!

    I love TRD Pros!

    Let's see...what else do some people impose their opinion on...in a not so positive way?

    lolololol

    I'm not even a MX (Maintenance) guy! (knuckle-dragger)

    It helps that I worked in various support functions of Logistics--I retired after supporting a Squadron of F-16s MSU (Maintenance Supply Unit).

    I'll never forget what the Chief of MX told me as he saw me out-processing for the final time:

    "If you can work in Aircraft MX, you can work anywhere."

    Looks strange with the garnish on it - doesn’t fit in well like it does on the Pro grille. Also doesn’t have a front camera mount (which is also the reason I am settling on keeping the Pro grille).

    So I installed this grill about a month ago....nothing tripped for the first I'd say round 75 miles....then it started lighting up my dashboard saying the pre collision isn't working....I've tried shims in hopes I could point the sensor upwards some, because the garnish sits pointing upwards in the grill when fastened down....I'm at a loss

    Weird, I don't have any issue with mine sitting flat and straight. Can you shoot some pictures?

    This is the most straight I could get it...see how the bottom is flush with the grille, and the top is recessed
