2020 Sequoia TRD Pro Grill conversion

ohhh looky looky what came today. my next decision is to rattle can it (the right way) or have a body shop color match it salsa red. i'm kind of intrigued to see if i can pull it off following that diy paint thread on here.

and yes get the 5 clips and the 10 bolts. i actually went 6 and 11 because knowing me, i'll misplace one.

 

Which bolts did you use from Toyota? I'm the same way lol

Did you need anything beyond:
90119-A0156 (qty 10) 53191-0C010 (qty 5) ?

 

cool, so you put the strip on the bottom of the grill versus on the top bumper piece. that weather stripping is hard to find locally (for me at least). it's coming end of this month from china. lol.

 

What are those 2 grey metal plates for? Headlight trim?

 

Btw, could you share the link to the diy paint thread? Thanks

Scratch that. Found this: https://www.tundras.com/threads/how-to-get-great-results-from-rattle-can-paint-tons-of-pics.51748/

 

yeah that's the one! good luck. i'm still debating. i can take it to a body shop today and my guy will turn it around in 2 days. whereas my butt may take a few weeks to get to it given my wifes honey do list.

 

yeah, the ghetto guy that repainted the top part of the bumper because clear was peeling broke off the pins on my stock extension panels, didnt tell me then plastered them back on. so to install my morimoto's i need to replace them to do it right. i will install the new pieces myself. hard to find good help.

 

See my post in the last thread for for the ebay package. You need 90119-A0156 (qty 10)

 

Welp, got all my parts ordered, hopefully they show up next week to get the truck done before vacation! Gotta look good towing the boat!

 

got'er done! wanted a new grill for ~12yrs lol and this one was worth the wait. i chose to have the pieces prof painted and happy i did. seems salsa red pearl (code 3Q3) has 20+ diff shades so the shop had me bring the truck in so they can match the correct paint swatch and get the exact match. i bought cheap rattle can so could have been bad.

taking off the black top plastic trim piece on the old grill and putting the new hood bulge on the new one after it was mounted was a pita. also transferring the hood release bracket to the new grill sucked. my bolts were on there solid but came free after soaking in some wd40. took me 2hrs lol but i went slow to make sure i didn't scratch anything and cleaned up every where i could.
thanks for this thread OP and all the tips and advice from everyone! gives it a really unique look now compared to other salsa reds...

i got that weather stripping coming in end of the month.

 

Wow, that came out super clean! Congratulations on your new 2020 tundra!

 

thanks for the help! your comments, @Swatdude1 and several others helped a ton. was so geeked up i was out washing it up at 7am this morning. lol.

 

Looks freakin' awesome!!! This grill really influenced my decision to keep my '08 and just refresh it.

 

new grille, hew headlights and bam..another 10 years..haha..much cheaper than a new loan...

 

Yep. I just ordered a new grill for mine so I can have it repainted and clean mine up a bit.

 

which one did you go with ?

 

Standard OEM. I have a mesh grill but the paint cracked on the surround bc it was chrome originally. A painted one will be easier to color match.

 

if you have a common color aka black, white or red, check out the oem painted rock warrior ones. Got a brand new one painted for $200 on ebay. has the grille and painted surround.

 

Mine is Barcelona which was not a color match option.

 

wasn't expecting to be breaking necks all weekend but dang. other early gen2 guys and truck owners staring hard. even the petite asian chick that works the pharmacy drive through, that has seen me come through many times before in the truck, was eyeballing it and asked "is that a tundra?". me smiling: "yeah, it is...."

i'm married and had to high tail it out of there before i get in trouble. my wife seems to know all, especially when shes not with me...lol.

 

I ordered my self a 2020 Sequoia grill and supporting parts.
Its on back order I guess so when ever it shows up I will post pics.

 

I have a linex'd one for sale.

 

For the 2nd Gen Tundras, does the hood still open normally (the grille lifts with it) or does this convert the grille to staying stationary and just the hood opening? Any modification needed to the hood latch?

 

Thanks for the quick reply and clarification.

 

hood latch gets re-used from old to new grill.

 

Thanks for all the posts! Phenomenal info and really helps me track down the parts I will need.

 

`Great MOD
what headlights are these buddy? do you have the direct web link?

 

Is it just me or is the mounting brackets different?? I’m trying to put mine on and the brackets that mount to the grill are different angles. Also the way the top shroud mounts is by push buttons instead of screws... I’m lost guys.

 

Yes, two mounting brackets are different. Also, you need new clips. Go back through this thread. It list all the parts needed. You can install with old brackets but it will be loose on the bottom.
