    Whats up Tundra nation! Just bought my truck last night and looking to do some upgrades and mods here soon. Been reading along a few threads and getting a lot of great info and ideas.

    2018 Tundra Limited 4WD 5.7L V8
    Quicksand

    The chrome has to go!

    Anyone out there know if the front grille insert can be replaced without screwing up the sensors? As it was explained to me, all the sensors and cameras (?) are located in the front emblem. I wanted to put a Pro grille on but worried that I might lose functionality due to the sensors.

    Also, any feedback on putting a chip and cool air intake on the truck? Co-worker said he did that and got about 4mi to the gal more.

    Welcome from riverside and u my friend chose the BEST and FASTESt color. What year pro grill are u looking for? The honeycomb or older style! I believe with the honeycomb u won’t have any problems as it has a place for the sensor already

    I wasnt exactly sure. I saw a post from @Roman where he posted a ton of options and saw this one

    https://parts.toyotaofcoolsprings.c...lle-w-hood-bulge-pro-grille-setup?parent=1001

    You know where to score a different one?

    Your ride looks awesome by the way. What lift do you have on it?

    That 1 doesn’t have a place for sensor but theirs ppl out there that are selling a bracket to relocate the sensor but reviews are hit or miss. There’s another 1 out there for the 19pros a bit different but has a place for sensor. Only problem is they don’t have a quicksand pro anymore so you would have to get ur bludge and surround painted

    Thats the one thing I wanted to try and avoid as much as possible was having to get stuff painted. Have you had much luck with getting stuff painted and matched?

    My pro grill and bulge I got from @Roman color is CLOSE but not exact match. But I don’t have any sensor as mines a 17. I also got my fender flares painted by some1 I know and boy what a pain in the ass it was lol. Once again it’s CLOSE but not exact match. I learned to live with it.

    Roman's great, good prices. This setup usually requires buying the whole set-up, I can sell you just the insert part if that's what you're looking for. Let me know, PM me. :thumbsup:

    I hear ya. Most places sell the grille with part of the surround and not just the insert so you’ll pay for the extra part.
    Let me know if you decide you’re interested! Again, welcome!
