@@StealthTRD The actual TRD Pro grill is more mimic'd than anything else - there's probably more fake ones on the road than real ones. I didn't want to follow the cool kids on this one.
respect that bro..definitely original..and regardless of what I or anyone thinks, its what you like an want..heck im about to slap some 33x9.50 swampers on mine and everyone on my head saying they too skinny..but thats what i like lol..i grew up in the deer woods w yotas an nissans with body lifts an skinny buckshot mudders.@tacomanetwork @@tacomanetwork
I have a 2023 Lunar Rock Tacoma with the smoked mirror turn signals and love them. Easy install and awesome look overall. I swapped my grille today with a KOK honeycomb grille, got 4 smoked white raptor lights with it as well. I also am going with red accents on mine next I'm saving for a lift kit and tires. Slapping DX4 Nitro wheels on it in the frosted bronze with the black simulated bead lock
Love your content! Very informative. My Tacoma is a 2023 SR5. It doesn’t come with any stock turn signal lights. Do you happen to know if the sequential lights you advertised on this video would fit? Thanks.
Not sure on that one....I'm sure the wiring is there, but not sure if you're SR5 housing will fit these. You may want to take them apart first to inspect
I mountain bike….so they’re the Pro Tools from Park: www.parktool.com/en-us/product/sliding-t-handle-hex-wrench-set-thh-1?category=Hex+%26+Torx®+Compatible+Tools
I had a defective set and it took 30 days just iron out the issues with Form. Once they agreed to exchange them, they were on back order for 2 months. I switched back to the stock set and found the Alpharex. Ended up selling the Form there after.
I see, that's a shame. I have the Form tail lights and I love them. They've been on the truck for 2 weeks now and no issues thus far, fingers crossed. Were yours defective upon arrival or did it happen over time? What was the issue? I was looking at the AlphaRex but ultimately decided on the Form as I like the look better.@@tacomanetwork
That image was when I drove it off the lot with 7 or 8 miles on the OD and a full tank of gas from the dealer. My typical now is 280 on stock tires/suspension
Thanks buddy! Yeah, I've been looking at that (viper cut) but I have a method to my madness ATM. Next major mod will be wheels/tires/small lift. Then I already have the front bumper, sliders picked out. Viper might come after
yeah, everyone has personal preferences. I meant about a "proper set of raptor light" that they're just 3 lights and not 4 like some vendors sell. On vehicles wider than 80" (like the Raptor) they need two side marker and three center marker lights both on the front and the back. As for the grill in total, I like that it's different and not just another SR5 with a Pro grill.....
That was right when I left the dealer with 9 miles on the odometer and a full tank. I usually get 269-289 now at least on the calculator but actually about 300-310 on 50/50 mixed driving.
The hidden light bar is for off road use only - and yes, it's blinding if used on the road. The Tacoma isn't the only truck it will fit on...so not sure why you'd exclude the most reliable truck on an aftermarket accessory.
what about all the wet panties that get thrown at my TRD Pro? What do you guys do with them? Is there a mod I need to know about? Frontier Owners get Kirkland Ballhuggers thrown at them I hear.
I mean no disrespect, but on the "Toyota" grill, that I am sure you spent some serious money on, are you recieving any royalties for this, or are you only paying them to advertise for them for nothing? Makes no sense to me to advertise a product and pay to so so, instead of them paying you to promote their product! Who is losing money here? You, or them??
Honest reviews of products are hard to come by these days. I reviewed products in the RC (Radio Controlled) space for over 10 years and the waters do get muddied. Typically, vendors send over product for review. The exchange is product for video to get their product in front of your audience. On the RC side I had over 100K subscribers globally, so the amount of product coming in was daunting. For the Tacoma Network, I'm building the platform still. With that all being said, YotaVerse did send over the grill to be reviewed. I did disclose to them (like anyone I review products for) that no matter what, I will give my opinion on the product. I will usually contact the vendor if things go south and give theme the option if the video goes up or not. Since I was fairly new to Yotaverse, I only opted for a product for video deal......which I should have built in a commission, since my original Yotaverse video has sent over 2,700 pre-qualified customers to their website as of this comment. Even if only 5% bought from that 2,700 on a $300 grill, that's over $40K in sales from my video. To date, the grill is my favorite upgrade on my truck. It makes it unique.
Which was your favorite? 🤔
@@user-ij6ng5bi8j I'm a fan of it over the typical knock off heritage grill
Definitely don't like the grill..the other is popular because its proven an very good looking..but if you like it i like it lol

Just bought a 2019 Toyota Tacoma trd sport yesterday. Can’t wait to customize it to my taste
Nice! That's the main reason I bought a Tacoma was for the aftermarket support and parts. No two Tacomas look the same either!
The grill 🔥! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Now I’m getting one!
I really like the grill. It’s just different and futuristic toward the 2024…..and I haven’t seen another truck with it at least in my area! 😁👍

Nice upgrades! Yeah, I’m in the same boat - saving for wheels and tires ATM. Not sure if I’ll do a lift…..likely not. I’ll need to check out the grill
Wdym red accents
Those look like some nice mods. Am looking to purchase either a TRD Sport or the off road model in a couple of weeks.
Nice! Congrats on the new truck.

Very nice and tasteful mods. I have the same trd off-road in lunar rock. This video gave me some excellent ideas!
Nice! Thanks for watching. I'll have the interior, hidden and non-Tacoma upgrade videos here soon!
#1 because I already own a Few👍✅👌 what’s that Allen key set you use to tighten down your tie downs? Nice video!
I mountain bike….so they’re the Pro Tools from Park: www.parktool.com/en-us/product/sliding-t-handle-hex-wrench-set-thh-1?category=Hex+%26+Torx®+Compatible+Tools
Nice truck man! I have the same in Cement. Just curious, why did you change from the Form Lighting tail lights to the AlphaRex?
I had a defective set and it took 30 days just iron out the issues with Form. Once they agreed to exchange them, they were on back order for 2 months. I switched back to the stock set and found the Alpharex. Ended up selling the Form there after.

@@jjlevitt95 the forms started hyperflashing on one side. I actually like the look of the forms better as well.
2:00 I felt that one 😅
😁
can you recommend any overland mods?
But of course! Stay tuned for a Top 5 Overland access......
Are the AlphaRex tail light bulbs changeable? Once it goes bad
Wow, great question - I'm not sure...just looked through their website and saw nothing.
Love that grill.
Yeah, it's my favorite item on the truck. Besides my neighbor who stole the idea from me....I rarely see one, which is good in my book
Are your side view mirror sequential lights black?
Yes, they're aftermarket, smoked sequential lights. I featured them in this video: th-cam.com/video/Joa64ZMixEU/w-d-xo.html
I’m confused on how your distance to empty is 374 miles with full tank when mine barely gets to 270 ??? Can someone explain?

Loving your content! keep it up. Time to viper cut that B!
Thanks buddy! Yeah, I've been looking at that (viper cut) but I have a method to my madness ATM. Next major mod will be wheels/tires/small lift. Then I already have the front bumper, sliders picked out. Viper might come after
I would paint the garnish black.
Yeah, I had it done with tinted PPF, so it blends very well and is scratch resistant now
Tufff🔥
Thanks for stopping by!
I was disappointed they dont come with blind spot warning on those mirrors
My TRD OR 4x4 does have BSM on the mirrors....you might need to have the Tech package though
Gotta disagree with you on the grill with raptor lights.
Raptor lights belong on a Raptor.
The grill is meh, but nothing beats the OEM heritage grill
yeah, everyone has personal preferences. I meant about a "proper set of raptor light" that they're just 3 lights and not 4 like some vendors sell. On vehicles wider than 80" (like the Raptor) they need two side marker and three center marker lights both on the front and the back. As for the grill in total, I like that it's different and not just another SR5 with a Pro grill.....
How do you have 375 miles till empty?
That was right when I left the dealer with 9 miles on the odometer and a full tank. I usually get 269-289 now at least on the calculator but actually about 300-310 on 50/50 mixed driving.
I really wanted Tacoma, but I really don’t like this LED light on the grill. You literally blind everyone in front of driving you if you have it on.
The hidden light bar is for off road use only - and yes, it's blinding if used on the road. The Tacoma isn't the only truck it will fit on...so not sure why you'd exclude the most reliable truck on an aftermarket accessory.

Those tie downs for 350$?! Lmao are you insane?
That's for the entire kit, which really isn't needed. Ideally just the two tie downs for the rear of the bed is good.
$365 for tie downs?!?😂😂😂 I dont think so.
$365 is for the full kit. But yes, even two are expensive.
