I can tell you’ve made instructional videos, and whomever I bought this grille from owes you, because the only reason I bought it was due to your Link. I have a 2023, and there are some minor differences (six tabs instead of four for example). But I would have never even tried this without this kind of step by step help, so thank you.

I have the same grille and I'm planning on transferring it from my old Tacoma to the new one. I'm missing the front garnish piece for the sensor so I'm going to have to get creative and built something to cover that front area. I have a piece of plexiglass that might do the trick... hopefully. I see one on AMZ for 24 bucks but I'm cheap lol. Thanks for the video! ~Mike from the southtowns!

I have a Toyota Tacoma and I love it it’s got 205,000 miles on it right now and it runs great. Yes I had a new frame put on and all the recalls been done. I’m lucky I used to work at a Toyota dealership and my friend, who’s my tech took care of me

I dont even have a Yota but was an interesting watch anyway. I think it's a huge improvement but I'm not a fan of chrome. I went thru a lot of effort with plast--dip and vinyl wrap eliminating the chrome on my 17 F150.

@@GarageGear Really well actually. I clean the truck a lot. Using spray wax makes it the dip look great and keeps it a nice black. I also found that using the P.D. Smoke over chrome gives a nice dark charcoal color. Warming the can in hot h2o before and during spraying makes the dip lay flat and even.
