    Is it possible to put the Trd pro grill on a 2008 Tacoma?

    Not without also replacing the headlights, core support, hood, and bumper.

    But yes it's possible.

    More cost effective option is to buy a aftermarket china imitation pro grille or make your own Shitoshi or if you want high quality buy an @HomerTaco grille.

    So I guess actual Satoshi grilles aren’t very high quality? I’ve got my second HomerTaco grille on order right now!

    Nah that was my bad I misremembered how to spell it and spelled it like shiitake mushrooms but you're right it's Satoshi not Shitoshi.

    Satoshi is (or so I believe) is a style of grill original by the pioneer who's handle was Satoshi, and I think he was from T4R.org thus copy cat versions were called Satoshi's but I don't think he ever made or sold them for others.

    Homertaco makes Satoshi style grills that are high quality, in a number of different versions of those at that.

    I made my own Satoshi style grille that is sturdy and looks great at 5 feet but certainly not factory fit and finish like Homer's.
