    Greetings

    I just got an OEM Trial Edition Grille. I have a 2023 TRD-offroad

    It doesnt look like it will ship with the sensor cover under the badging for the camera, where is the best place to find one? And will I need anything else to finish the install?

    See image below. The lettering will match my Method Bronze 703s :)

    Thanks!!!!

    You can find OEM and aftermarket sensor covers everywhere on eBay. OEM cover is $300+ and aftermarket covers start at $30. Some aftermarket covers do not match the gray grill color and do not work well. Lots of posts in 3rd gen forum about sensor covers.

    Also, welcome to TW!

    Will that have all the mounting for the harness/camera etc behind it?

    Edit^^ or does the existing remain? This is my current configuration

    The wiring should be able to be routed and worse case a couple zipties can be used to hold the loom in place but the camera will have to be a modification to the grill and a new bracket will be needed. The Trail edition grill isn't set up for a camera as they don't offer that option on the package with the truck.

    It should swap right over. I found the garnish(sesor cover) on Amazon. Watch a few vids on how to remove/replace your grill before doing it. It will save you some agrivation.

    If it does indeed require modification for the camera I would be curious if anyone else has attempted the same. I can always model/3D print something at work and Ill share my progress moving forward.
