    Hey everyone I am just curious and want to know what you thought of the new grille. It was very easy to install. The first pic is my old grille

    Bought from Toyota of Richardson. I got there from a thread from here. Seemed very honest and worked with me as this is the first year for this color on a Tacoma. Was a Tundra color

    Does anyone read these posts or do they just fly through? I do think I know what the/my problem is. Some have their settings to read the last post first.

    It does look good, nice color and nice job.

    Ok, Back to grouting.
