TRD Pro grill

I'm interested in the upcoming TRD Pro grill, does the insert just bolt on in place of the old insert?

 

I have a feeling alot of 2016 owners will be buying 2017 trd pro parts, just call it a guess....

 

I'm really only interested in the grille, maybe the skid plate. I don't feel a need for the overpriced floormats or shift knob, or the 1" lift that will probably cost $1800.

 

Yes I am sure there will be many many many Poser pro's out there, once the 20.00 piece of plastic comes out for $400.00 to $450.00

 

the grill is nice, for sure, however so is the SR5 grill and derp the stock one as well, or have a good mat black paint job on it.

 

I found the older Pro grilles for ~300. I'm good with spending that vs $500 for the steel grille that's on the forum that doesn't look as good IMO.

 

skid plate, how about give a local shop some business, BAMF, nFab, Relentless Fabrications, Pilfrey Built etc...

 

Local to who? I'm in Alaska.

 

@benbacher may be able to hook you up.

 

ooof, your wayyyyy "not" local

 

I'm about to become a Poser SR, so if anyone want to become a Poser O/R, look for it soon in the buy/sell forum.

 

SR grill > OR or Sport Grill

 

Shipping up here is a bitch, especially large and heavy items like skids.

 

I can look into it for sure. Have you already checked the dealer? I'm sure they want a pretty penny but its usually the most fool proof way to get something like that. I prefer @JLee s design personally.

 

I'm sure once the part numbers come out for at least the first year your going to need a PRO Vin to order one. They want people to buy the pro not just the grille. That's what they did when the first pro came out. I'D say the fall of 2017 or spring 2018 you can buy one from the dealer.

 

I'm in no rush, I would wait until it was available from other vendors anyway, instead of paying the inflated dealer price.

 

I'm not quite understanding this whole poser thing. I've seen this word thrown around quite a bit lately.

TRD Bead locks were only available on certain Tacomas, Baja and Pros IIRC. Wouldn't anyone else buying those rims for their Tacos be a poser with that logic? What about TRD shift knobs? Anyone not owning a Pro or Baja, would they be posers if they had said knob? If that's the case I'd imagine anyone buying a part that wasn't available for their truck in stock form a poser.

Are those that own a 4x4s with their aftermarket coil overs, recovery gear with armor and never leave the pavement (leaf smashers) posers?

 

Well if you aren't 7 years old it shouldn't matter. Build the truck you want. Others can pound pavement. Or leaves. Depends on where you're posing. My truck is weird as hell, but it meets all my needs perfectly.

 

Completely agree. Don't understand why folks have to put others down consistently to make themselves feel superior. BTW my 4x2 poses as a 4x4 on the regular.

 

I already ordered my custom bed sticker that will say TRD 4X4 Pro "ish".
