The quest to eliminate chrome continues! We are installing a color matched 2021 magnetic grey TRD Pro Grille and hood bulge onto our shop truck.
We'll walk you through the entire process to hopefully make your swap as easy as possible!

Thank you for this Sir. I need to replace my grille, left front bumper, and passenger mirror, but have no clue where to begin. Your video has helped tremendously. Great job!

You should! It's been one of the biggest single visual changes to the truck for sure.

There's a company called AJT Design that makes a TSS sensor relocation bracket for $50 that is supposed to re-position the sensor so it still functions with aftermarket sensor covers. I haven't tried it yet but just letting you know. 👍

@hotshotoffroad Жыл бұрын

Appreciate the reply! We did end up getting it figured out by going to a different sensor garnish. As for that bracket directly it's really cool! However, it's for moving the sensor on a grille that wasn't initially built to support a TSS sensor. Fortunately for us the '21 grille that we picked up already had a spot for our sensor. It just couldn't see through the first garnish we picked up!

Awesome video and thank you. I know it's about a year later but did you get the pre collision sorted out? If it's in another video I apologize I just found your content. Be safe and be blessed!

Yes I did. I purchased a different TSS sensor cover and it has worked flawlessly since! I would link you to it, but the listing that I used is now gone.

I prefer the oem crome on my black Tundra it gives it a classy look easier to clean.

There's definitely folks that love their chrome! Can't take that away from ya! We prefer the color match most of the time over here though when we can.

@blrroman27 2 жыл бұрын

I have a 2021 tundra trial edition. I know the TRD Pro Grille will fit, but my question is will I need to order a new sensor cover? Or can I use my existing sensor and transfer it to the TRD Pro Grille?

@hotshotoffroad 2 жыл бұрын

You will almost assuredly need a new sensor cover. As far as I know all OEM grilles that are not the TRD pro version have a round sensor cover. The TRD Pro is the only one with a rectangular cover I believe.

Would the 2018+ honeycomb grille fit a 2015 SR5?

@hotshotoffroad 2 жыл бұрын

Yes. The only time you run into issues is that if you would be trying to go the other direction (Ex installing a 2015 grille on a 2018). The older trucks didn't have the TSS radar system so installing one of them on a newer truck leaves no place for the radar sensor to go.

@@hotshotoffroad so a 2018-21 grill and bulge would fit a 2014?

@hotshotoffroad 2 жыл бұрын

Yes it would. The bulges are exactly the same. The grilles will have a cutout for the TSS sensor on the 18+ that you'll need to find a cover for, but the mounting points and shape are the same.

So why are these so much cheaper than Sparks Parts? Just for the sensor cover is over $300 and they’re charging over a $1k for the rear bumper covers.

@matthewmorris3997 5 ай бұрын

And any updates on the sensor cover?

@hotshotoffroad 5 ай бұрын

I'm terribly sorry that I didn't see this. I have no idea why the OEM sensor covers are so expensive. We had to purchase a couple to get it right, but so far a couple of years later no issues!

@jeffreyortega3932 Жыл бұрын

I’m looking for the same kind of grill but with the gloss black finish on the bottom. I noticed where you got yours from is currently charging $600+ for grills. Any idea where I can get one with the gloss black finish? Any help I’d appreciated.

@hotshotoffroad Жыл бұрын

I think that for a painted one you're likely going to be hanging out around that $600 mark. If you want only the lower section you might be able to scratch off about $200, but I don't know many who do that. It might be worth reaching out to/googling Sparks parts as they're known for selling OEM painted parts.
