Good video, I have the front facing camera so some of the comments were very helpful. The camera wasn't sitting flush with the supplied TacoVinyl camera bracket on my install. One of the 2 alignment holes had an excess of powder coating. Run a 1/16" bit through it to clean it out. In order to get the clips for the camera shroud to engage the powder coating needed to be scraped off the back of the new mounting bracket where the clips seat. The fiddling was worth it the grill looks great!
I've just completed my install and while I was able to finish it I think you should really do this yourself with the front facing camera because it's not as easy as advertised. I'll premise this by saying I'm great with instructions but not improvisation which this required. The top two screws that hold the "Toyota" insert into the grill were too large to go through the camera mounting bracket and I ended up repurposing two of the eight screws that held the original grille insert in place that do not get reused. Also the cabling is slightly different and did not have enough slack in it so I had to cut both mounts it originally was mounted to, instead of just one like in the video. This ensured I wanted to make use of the additional zip tie point at the sensor but there isn't one included in the kit. This is kind of nit picky, but you could throw a zip tie in with it. Overall happy, but frustrated with the install.
Yeah, this is very frustrating. The title of the video is “full install with front facing camera”. That is not what this video shows. Don’t title the video in such a way as to mislead the viewer. Showing the camera mount with a grill that is not set up for the camera doesn’t help the end user who needs help with the install. Shame on Taco Vinyl for this.
Just got my TRD Pro grill from Taco Vinyl for my 21 Tacoma that has the smoked amber raptor lights, front facing camera bracket and sensor garnish. Hopefully the install is super easy - I am really nervous about the camera and the sensor malfunction!
@@DavyDave1313 ok cool. By chance , do you know if the OEM camera housing needed any Dremel modification to sit in the cam bracket, or did it drop right in?
If you watch the whole video it talk about the camera, where it goes and how to mount it. There is no physical video for the install of it. The piece we provide for the camera is a pretty easy install. Shoot us an email next time and we’d be more than happy to send you some pictures of placement for any parts we sell. Thanks for the input
ABSOLUTELY TRASH IF YOU HAVE THE CAMERA! THATS WHY ITS OMITTED FROM THIS INSTALL VIDEO! CAMERA SHROWD DOES NOT CLIP ONTO THEIR BRACKET. TRASH. SHAMEFUL.

I would like to see a install of TRD grill with front facing camera install also.
Just installed mine using this video. Looks great and worked well!
Great videos man. Well explained and good detail. Keep up the work man! Going to install my grill this morning.
Thanks! We appreciate the positive feedback
@@tacovinyltv Install went smooth and easy thanks to your well explained video. Didn’t struggle one bit.

Had the same issue. Thanks for the tip on repurposing the screws.

Why title this video “full install w/front facing camera” and not include the camera install. That makes ZERO sense.
I agree it makes no sense
😡😡
We are making an individual camera install video. Should have it ready soon. Sorry for the deception in the title
@@tacovinyltv any updates on the video with the front facing camera?
@tacovinyltv
Do you have a video showing the install with front camera bracket and sensor?

Just received the same kit from them. Im going to it install this weekend. How did things go with your install ?
@@cpsmonroe1 I had a shop put it on. Everything works flawlessly
@@DavyDave1313 ok cool. By chance , do you know if the OEM camera housing needed any Dremel modification to sit in the cam bracket, or did it drop right in?
It’ll drop right in but we recommend using a zip for secure it
Where is a tutorial on install for 12-15 pro grille?
We haven’t made one yet. We will here in the future
Killing it🤛🏽
Will this grill still work on a 2023? It says 18-22 on the website
Yes it will work for the 2023s
What if you bought the grille with the painted around the outside?
Same install
If you order the raptor lights with it, are they plug and play?
There is another video that goes over grille light install
Will this grill also fit an SR5 model?
Would this work with the 2022 model as well?
Sure will!
Can you have the camera with the raptor grill?
If I have the chrome ring, can I remove it and the grille will cover that area?
You guys gotta rename this video. No camera to be found at all

Where’s the camera?
We didn’t have a camera model but we run through the install mud video
