    I got the 19 pro grill and hood bulge for Christmas. Merry Xmas to myself.
    Gonna do the swap this weekend. Any tips to help the swap go smoothly? I have all the parts needed just wondering where those 2 push nuts go and if mounting the sensor in the new location on the new grill is self explanatory. I’ve seen videos of the swap to the standard honeycomb grill but can’t find any for the pro grill.

    Also in the off chance you’re interested in the honeycomb grill with chrome surround keep an eye out in the Market place.

    I swapped my 2018 Limited grill to the 2019 Pro grill. Yes, it is very self-explanatory. The two push nuts go onto the two plastic posts sticking off of the plastic rectangular garnish/cover.

    Super quick and easy to swap it out. Maybe 30 minutes total, possibly even less.

    That grill looks great!!


    I'm replacing my 2000 Tundra (due to an accident) and I'm leaning towards getting the 1794 because of the features (and I love the look/feel of the leather---fake wood trim not so much) but love the old school grill! I wish they had that option for my Land Cruiser.

    Looks real good. I too want the '19 Pro Grille. It's my last piece of chrome I've been thinking about since the truck was new. But everytime I put the parts in my cart and see the total I chicken out.

    Gonna look killer with the end caps on.

    Did you go OEM sensor cover or something else?

    Also, noticed the front bumper chrome gone. Did you go with OE replacements and not paint them?
