Heritage Grille -- OEM and Aftermarket Options

[paulse]

Just picked up my 2025 Tacoma back in Feb. First post here!

TH grille was my first big mod other than some TVD Vinyl, lasfit, and ScreenProtech. Couldnt justify $600+ on a lightbar I'm not sure I'll use often but wanted to stay OEM Toyota (something with the lettering in the 3rd party grilles just looks a little off). Went from the Trailhunter grille as I wanted matte-planning to dip the logo. Caught a great sale for the grille and went looking for cheap lights. While most suggested you get what you pay for, a few recommended Co Light and for the price it was hard to not just give it a shot. Bought the thinnest 20" bar they made for $25 on Aliexpress. It arrived last week and I spent a few days iterating a 3D printed a mount for it and installed it on my truck. Plenty bright for me. We'll see how it lasts but for less than $250 all in, I'm not complaining.

Happy to share designs with anyone here, just shoot me a PM.

Do you happen to know how deep the light bar cavity is? I’m seeing some light bars like Cali raised which extend 3.25 inches back and I’m curious if this would fit in the void or would it be too deep

I didn't take that measurement, sorry. I can attempt to remember when I pull the face off again to swap out the camera bracket to the conforming one and remove the RAVE bracket.

Your additional limiting factors would be the depth clearance for the active shutter assembly (as that's what bolts over/behind it) and the weight the screw points in the plastic are intended to support.

The Diode Dynamics 18" light bar is 3" in total depth (outside of face to rear edge), with the center of the mounting screw 1-1/8" from the face (leaving 1-7/8" behind the mount point.

This has not caused any issues and left some breathing room in front of the shudder assembly.

I just ordered my grill from Serra in Decatur, AL as well. $203 for the grill shipped to my door is just too good to pass up. I'll be going with a different light than what I've seen posted so far, so I'll post back again when I get that installed.

Does anyone know the screw size for the screws that mount the brackets to the grille? I'm working on a universal bracket and if it works out I can share the DXF file for anyone who wants to shoot it to sendcutsend
