Hi all! In this video I walk you through the TRD Pro grille swap on my 2024 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road. This grille replacement is one of the easiest ways to give your Tacoma a bold, upgraded look that matches the aggressive TRD Pro style. This one has a light bar and amber marker lights or also known as raptor lights. Below are the links to the Grille and Camera Bracket, the video also has additional links in the description. Install is pretty easy, should only take about 3 to 4 hours.

1. TRD Pro Grille
2. Camera Bracket

Great write up. I will be following your work. And thanks for explaining the rear plug connector.

Reminds me of the one available from Aspire. How would you describe the quality of the materials? Pretty OEM like?

If Iā€™m not mistaken I believe these are the same ones as Aspire offers but they include a few more things for the wiring.

In terms of quality im pretty happy with it. The plastic seems to be OEM like, maybe not as smooth but for $250 I think itā€™s totally worth it.

Iā€™m glad to see Rave got real about the camera bracket, they were askin $55 I think now down to $30 is much more reasonable. You can also 3D print it for about $15.

Thanks for the video link Iā€™ll be using it soon for my OEM Trailhunter grille and an Amazon hi output light bar. Still figuring out the light bar bracket though

I ordered direct from Alibaba.com. Was $85 for the grille and $71 for shipping. It comes this week. I didnā€™t want the raptor lights.

Cool.. I really donā€™t like the clearance lights either! I may have to consider this now? I wonder how difficult it would be to replace the garbage light bar?

Not too sure on the light bar but it doesnā€™t seem that bad from the OPā€™s video.

Just got my OEM Trailhunter grill from Toyota. $259.00. No light bar, of course. I did get the Heretic light bar which was $500, but you can get cheaper from others. I didn't want the marker lights. If I had seen this before, I may have gone this way.

Great DIY Video! Does the grill kit come with the "TOYOTA" badge as well? I don't see it in the Amazon listing or others like it on eBay. If it does not and you have a link, would you please post a link to it?

The Toyota badge is included on the aftermarket grilles. It just canā€™t be shown for copyright/IP reasons.

That was an incredibly helpful video! Really well done all around. This is even great for those trying to better understand the aux switches and wiring (which I don't have lol).

I may have missed it but do you have a comparison photo of the high beams vs light bar? I'm curious if the width of the light bar beam is still helpful even with the high beams on because I prefer this lighting placement over ditch lights.

Im glad you found it helpful! I didnā€™t show the high beams in the video but the light bar is still helpful. It casts a wider view even with the high beams on.

If you donā€™t have the Aux switches check out Aspire Auto Accessories. They sell a kit that includes the switch.
