I went ahead and changed out my TRD Sport Grille for a YotaVerse Replica TRD Pro Grille! It fully changed the way the truck looks. It makes the front end look completely different. Upgrading the grille on your Tacoma is a major plus. Not only does it elevate the truck’s appearance and make it stand out from the crowd, it helps with visibility because of the light bar that is included! Whether you're looking to personalize your ride, improve its performance, or simply add an extra bit of lighting for off-roading, an upgraded grille is one of the best investments you can make. Plus, it’s an easy upgrade that completely changes the front end appearance as well as performance. I 100% recommend getting the TRD Pro Grille over the OEM Grille any day! I chose the grille with the raptor lights & light bar for off-roading purposes and helping with visibility when I am not on the pavement. It takes approximately 1-2 hours to change out the grille, with basic tools needed and it is a simple 1 person job. Tools needed - Phillips head and flat head screwdriver, 10mm, and trim pry tool.

Sometimes, I like to spend a couple of hours hooking up different parts and add-ons under the hood, mostly for the fun of it and to keep myself occupied.

More than once, I realized that my hood struts weren't holding up as firmly as before. For safety measures, I had to find new hood struts to lift and keep the hood up safely.

At first, I had trouble putting them in because the hood did not line up correctly. So, I chose to swap out the struts and adhered to the guide closely when I reinstalled them. The end result was great.
