    I want to Change out my Grill to the All black one that Says "TOYOTA" I just don't want to mess with the Cruise control Sensor or whatever that thing is called. Would like to see if someone has done that in the past and where they got grill from. Thanks.

    I added a TRD PRO style grille and OEM garnish to my 2019 Off-Road. I highly recommend . He pre-installed the OEM Garnish (I would only go with genuine OEM garnish, not the fake aftermarket stuff) and gives you a choice of letter color. I went with black just like the rest of the grille. I installed myself and TSS seems to be working fine.

    I installed mine from CUSTOMCARGRILLS.COM. Mine was just the mesh as I was looking for the clean look. I will say, ordered with the black trim it comes assembled ready to install. I liked the fact that its put together well and is quite a-bit lighter than the plastic stock.
    Being lighter does not mean its less in strength by any means.
    Also it keeps the bugs and BS out of the radiator. The TSS or Radar sensor works just as it did prior.

    I have this one too. Get compliments all the time. My TSS was non-functioning with the little spacer he provides to make the sensor parallel with the grill, but the grill angles back so the sensor was out of alignment. Removed the spacer and I was all good.

    I got my OEM TRD Pro Grille + Extended Harness + Star Washers from an online Toyota dealer for $217 shipped. All they asked for was to provide them with a VIN of a 2018 Tacoma TRD Pro (2019 VIN will not get approved by Toyota for some reason). The OEM garnish was more of a pain to find at a cheap price. Bought one from Amazon for $125 shipped a couple of weeks ago when the price wasn't as high (seller = A-C-S).
