Cheap, yet reliable front grill upgrade

Im looking for a cheap upgrade to my new 2023 Tacoma SR5 front grill. Dont want to spend a lot of money and not sure what im looking for in regards to the TSS cover etc. Can anyone direct me proper?

And while we're at it, a good tonneau cover.


Thanks

 

As far as a Tonneau cover goes, I’ve had this for over 3 years now and it’s been perfect for me:

Sorry I should have added that i am looking for a tri-fold.

 

You can find TRD takeoffs for cheap.

 

What do you mean?

 

I'm using the extang 2.0 tri fold cover, on and off in 5 minutes.

 

You're going to have to define what cheap means to you.

Are we talking $15 worth of spray paint cheap, $150 for an ebay replica cheap, or $300 for a specialty aftermarket cheap?

 

TRD grilles that people have taken off to replace with something else.

 

I second this. Before I switched to a DB, I had the Extang and was really happy with it. Why I switched who knows? I get antsy and sometimes after drinking I like to hit the internets and order stuff.

Got my Extang from Amazon warehouse for like $700 shipped too. Damnit.

 

<$300 is my realm
and yes i looked at the Extang 2.0, my dad owns an older model Trifecta and its been great for him.

You should have no issues with that budget. I'd run an image search on "Tacoma grill." See what style tickles your fancy. There are plenty in the $200 range.

Mine runs on the high end of grills and I paid around 300 with all options checked. 375 if you include the black bezel ring and vinyl overlays.

 

If you don’t know what take offs means, you should probably start by using the search button…

 

How much extra horsepower are you looking for?

 

Found the pretentious bitch in the forum.

+15HP

 

TAKEOFF - usually refers to aircraft. No need to be condescending i didnt get what the person meant by takeoff. Swap wouldve been a FAR better word choice.

 

LOL, you have barely scratched the "pretentious bitch" itch here! Stick around and gird your loins brother!

 

TAKEOFF, according to Google, "Kirsnick Khari Ball (June 18, 1994 – November 1, 2022), known professionally as Takeoff, was an American rapper."
Thank you, come again!

 

Always good times here on TW...lol!

I have the EmpyreOffRoad which is now less expensive than when I bought mine.

You can pick the letter colors and dare I say, Raptor Lights if you want.

The garnish works fine for me. As a matter of fact, I had to hit the brakes today to avoid rear-ending someone and the sensor beeped at me.

On your first day too, what a surprise
