Man, I appreciate this video so much. I have a TRD pro grill coming on Monday. I'm not much of a mechanic, but your demonstration is so detailed that, if I follow it, there's no way I can screw it up. You're really good at this, thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad this helped, I try to get as much details as possible in my tutorial videos. Appreciate you checking the channel out. Cheers!
I don't think lane departure works with the sensor. Pretty sure it's a camera on the windshield up by the rearview mirror. Cruise control is definitely the sensor though.
@@themandiyrin it is good to know the radar still works. Other videos kind of gloss over that part. I've been wanting to switch mine but the sensor was one of the things holding me back. Thanks
@@thelsel348 NP! Yes having that peace of mind for the sensor is great! Good luck on your Install and thanks for watching! I'm working on a raptor lights tutorial right now if you're doing that install as well!
Thank you! Some of my friends called me out for posting my MOD MONDAYS videos on random days of the week 😂 So now I just schedule it since apparently people don't forget LOL
I'm not too mechanical. Okay, I'm not mechanical at all. Traded my Wrangler for a 2022 TRDOR, and about to install this. Thanks for the vid, I'll let you know how it goes :D
@@themandiyrin Got it done! Pretty easy. Had a few more steps as I accidentally bought the non-sensor grille, and then bought the sensor separate, but everything looks great and everything works!
Well done tutorial! Good camera angles and instructions. I appreciate the parts list in the description. I will order the grill soon. What pry tool do you use?
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Appreciate you checking out the channel and good luck with your grille install. Here is the link for the pry tool I used. amzn.to/3lVKghZ
Looks like you place the washer on the higher side of sensor. I feel like that would push out the top to make it look slightly more down. Or do you let it slide to the bottom before tightening? Is there a specific place to put the washer?
🛠 Question of the day: What placement (top, middle or bottom) did you use for your raptor lights and how many did you use (all 4 or 3 with bigger spacing)⁉
I had to pull decently hard to get it off, the tabs on the bottom are hooked in so it's not the easiest to remove. It may feel like you're pulling too hard but you'll be able to get it off!
Great Vid. Question - The link to Taco Clout says that the grille is for 2016-2021 Tacomas. I assume the 2022 is the same? Just want to make sure I am ordering the correct part for my 2022. Thanks!
Thank you Tony, appreciate you checking out the channel and my videos. Yes the grille works for 2022 as well as my truck is the 2022 version. Good luck on your mods! Let me know if you have questions. Here is an alternate Amazon link for a grille in case TacoClout is sold out. amzn.to/3PjPalA
I guess on the 2020 OR there’s 4 more off the black plastic river fasteners on the bottom part of the grill that have to be removed in order to get the grill off? Know anything about that?
Hmmmm I didn’t have to remove that for mine but if it’s the same plastic fasteners as the rest of the grille, it should be simple to take out so I suggest just removing it. Let me know if you have other questions and good luck on the install!
@@themandiyrin for sure, grille comes Friday but I’ve seen mixed videos of some people removing the 4 on the bottom and some people not. Thought maybe it depended on year and trim level
Hi thanks for watching my video and no the package does not come with the washer but I just used a normal washer that I had on hand. Nothing special about it just something to prop the camera up slightly.
Hi Mouchy, I bought mine at Taco Clout. If you're from Canada and prefer aftermarket here is the Amazon link if you prefer that: amzn.to/3OqHhd6 If you're from the US you and want a genuine Toyota part, here is the link (but it's more expensive): amzn.to/3cA3U1p
Thanks for watching the video! Hmm I'll have to check, I just used a random washer I had, keep you posted. Any washer should work as you just need it to prob the angle up a bit.
Just got a text from my service center saying installing the grill would mean getting rid of the front facing camera that provides birds eye 360 view, I have a 22 TRD sport as well. Did you have to do this?
Hi no the 22 TRD sport doesn’t come with a front camera so it doesn’t have the 360 view (at least here in Canada Version). For other countries I’m not sure unfortunately. For me personally I didn’t have that issue. I’m actually installing a different front camera “anytime front camera from running 4 tacos” just so I can have a front facing camera.
@@themandiyrin thank you for the quick reply! I just got my 22 sport last week in the US, mine has a front camera that allows the 360 view, but it’s odd because I’ve seen other people use the one you mentioned as well which to me says it’s definitely possible to retain with a TRD sport grill. I definitely would prefer to keep the function, so I guess I need to dig around to see how or maybe see if it’s just my Toyota service center not knowing.
@@WarfighterMilsim no problem glad to chat with fellow taco owners! In my opinion I’m sure there is a way to install a tTRD pro style grille while keeping the function. You may need to modify the grill to install the camera but I’m sure there is a way. I’ll take a look as well to see what I can find online!
@@WarfighterMilsim I think you just need to add a mounting bracket for the camera… the sensor will work the same as my relocation. The only difference I see is that your front camera won’t be able to go on the centre of the grille (you may need to offset it a little so it doesn’t block the sensor). I’m dealing with that as well as I’m trying to find an optimal location for my front anytime camera. I’m going to be installing it a bit on the left side of the new sensor.
@@themandiyrin thank you !, i think they might’ve messed up my order cause it didn’t come with any letters and no tss garnish/ raptor lights, and i paid for those two. Hopefully they fix it ! but thank you once again, this Video is very helpful!
@@sina.888 You're welcome! And sometimes I heard they ship the smaller items separate! Hope they fix it or you get the separate item soon. Good luck on your mods and again thanks for checking out my channel!
Thanks for the comments Ellery! It's personal preference and what looks good is subjective to others opinion. Some like the TRD Pro look and some love the stock. I personally don't mind both but prefered the darker color of the Pro. Cheers!
