    Yup, best grille.

    Toyota should keep the black trim ring for the 2023 SR5 SX. The SR5 gets the chrome trim. SX, should get the SR grille.

    Is there another one of you weird tongue piercers? Someone did this awhile back. Saw it in the thread with the dude that painted his dam scarlet letter red.

    I watched a video on how those were installed out of curiosity. I have the matte black Aeroskin ll.
    This is the video if you care to watch it. Not a Tacoma but it gives you the idea.

    I saw the BBP colored truck on here that had his painted BBP to match his truck. Different strokes for different folks!

    I had a Dremel brand that recently tore up and had to grab some Chinese Brand for quick replacement. Thankfully all the Dremel accessories, blades, and bits work with it.

    I can’t even count the number of times those anchor points have saved me at the mall when I was not able to navigate thru a tight parking space and needed rescue.:yay:

    I live on the prairie and the wind blows allot. I experienced the same thing so I put mine back on. Sure I liked the looks with it off but a fairly quiet ride is what I like most. A tonneau cover stops those strong winds from pulling pushing you around on the highway too. Especially when you meet a semi on the highway going the opposite direction.

    I have been saying this all along. There is no way people can confirm the loss of fuel mileage. Totally agree!!!

    Again I see no difference with it on or off like people are claiming. I have the TRD pro skid plate and it has made no difference in anything. It all in their head

    Excuse me sir. The TRD skid plate adds 5hp. Just like a PRO badge.

    Sorry, I only noticed the hp gain when I added the Pro grill.
