2011 Replacement Grille

My name is Scott and not sure if I've posted here before, but have had an account for years and need your help. I have a 2011 Tacoma 4DR, 4WD, 3 in. lift and upgraded wheels/tires as I drive on the beach everyday...none of that matters, but a little background for you. It has 260,000 miles and despite my efforts to keep it looking good, rocks and other debris have scratched and damaged my grille. Not only that but want to upgrade to one that has LEDs and/or a light bar built into it.

I've checked many online resources and Forums here and I'm not seeing much for 12 yr old 2nd Gen's...other than the basic OEM types. Was hoping someone out there has upgraded theirs and can recommend a source of grilles with the LEDs/light bars.

I love this truck and no plans to get rid of it as it runs/looks great...IMHO. Appreciate any help you can give and adding a few pics for your viewing pleasure...Scott

 

Not sure of many grills with lights built in besides maybe raptor lights, but lots of people run a light bar in the lower, secondary grill (myself included). I think you can fit up to a 30ish inch light bar (I personally have a 13 inch light bar). Maybe find a nice grill to replace it and put lights in the lower grill? Or go all out and put a bumper on and mount a Light straight to that Good luck!

(My truck for reference)

 

My lightbar is 30" (32" including the housing and bolts on the sides), and there's still about an inch of space on either side.

 

lurking on this topic myself

if you're feeling spendy check out tacovinyl, if they were a little cheaper i'd have one to share pics with already

 

Being on the beach everyday I hope you are protecting your frame in the same manner as folks who live where the roads are salted in winter.

If not, you risk losing you're beloved truck to frame rot.

 

I got my replacement billet grill kit on ebay, but that was many years ago. It generally gets more difficult to find accessories for vehicles as they get older because the retailers just don't sell as many of them as when the vehicles were newer.

 

That grill is good and has the option of coming with 4 lights or buying them separate after to click into place
