    Picked up a new to me 2016 TRD Off Road Tuesday at an amazing price, Ive wanted a Tacoma since I was a kid, and now finally was able to get one. The truck seems to be immaculate (previously owned by a soldier from Ft. Rucker, AL, thank you for your service sir!) and Im so happy with my purchase, no remorse at all like Ive felt with other vehicle purchases. The only thing I dont like with it is that brush guard thats on it and Im wondering how hard it will be to remove, other than that Im in love!

    Congrats. Welcome.
    Brush guard, not too hard, just some bolts and nuts.

    Welcome!

    Great looking truck, I would take off that guard too. Plenty of mods to do and make sure to explore TW, people have some pretty cool builds on here. Have fun!

    Brush guard should be easy off. List it for sale, I'll bet you can get a quick sale if price right.

    Removing the brush guard should be fairly simple and it should sell rather quickly BUT you won't be able to post if For Sale here until you have a minimum of 50 posts. - Forum Rules.
    Craigtslist would probably be you best bet for selling it.

    Congratulations.

    Yeah, at first glance it was like looking at someone with a full set of braces. However, after hitting a deer last year, that would have saved my bacon (cosmetic $5000 worth of bacon). ;o)

    Wow, a TRD OR w/o hood scooper too..... ah, 2016. Just saw that...

    Welcome, good looking truck OP! I imagine the brushguard is a just few bolts, but look it up online for installation to get a idea how it is attached.

    Enjoy :cheers:
