    Tacoma - not enough T4R - too much
    Just buy a black one online. I think I got mine for like 70 buck. Way easier than trying to paint it

    Not a fan of the pro grill either, but if your lifting, only grill that puts TSS at right height. I like the 2021 sport/ off road grill myself

    Only reason I went with a pro grill was because my trail came with a silver and chrome grill. I just couldn't stand that up front when everything else is blacked out. Now i am seeing a bunch of black grills that I like more than the pro but some I don't see anywhere for TSS.

    Personally i think the sr5 grill on my truck sucks. At least the truck performs really well to make up for it.

    You're not wrong Walter..

    Didn't quite feel right putting a sr5 grill on mine, so I doubled down on the Cheesegrater;

    Gotta disagree, this grill is probably my least favorite.

    Sr5/Pro are equally cool IMO I just dont like the current toyota logo. However, once you see the cheese grater you can never un-see it!!

    Digging up this old thread. I wouldn't mind swapping my pro for an SR5. Only hangup is the sensor on the front. The radar or whatever it is. I don't imagine I can run on that on an SR5 grill. Or at least I assume that since I don't see any clear plastic on the SR5 grills. Any knowledge?

    (Or anyone looking to trade?)

    My 22 SR5 has the radar controlled cruise control so I'm not sure why you couldn't run it.
