    2024 ORP
    Hello all. New to 4Runners with the recent purchase of our 2024 ORP. Yesterday I saw another ORP with a different upper grille than ours. Looks like the one in this pic I'm borrowing from a random Craigslist ad. I'm referring to the "honeycomb" design of upper grille behind the Toyota logo. We prefer this as it matches the larger lower grille. Our upper grille has the horizontal bars on either side of the badge. Is this a straightforward retrofit if I can find one? Thanks!

    I think this is what you want, and yes, it's pretty easy to do:

    Our buddy @Borracho Loco above assumes you want the Pro grille look, but I see that you are asking about the upper grille only. If all you want is that upper grille piece without the horizontal bars, the answer is yes, you can purchase just the upper grille for the 2014 - 2019 4R, which will look just like the one in the photo you provided. There are multiple options for getting this upper grille:

    -Dealer. Quite spendy.
    -Aftermarket <<< Edit - this may not be available aftermarket, as most, if not all, probably sell their Pro conversion upper grille
    -Used on Ebay or such.
    -Someone on this forum that has done the Pro grille conversion, preferably near you, that no longer needs their upper grille they took off.
    -Someone like me who has 2 sitting in storage from previous projects.

    The only caveat to all this is if the mounting on your current upper grille is slightly different than the 2014 - 2019 as far as attachment points, and I cannot speak to that.

    glwood54 is correct. I am not looking to do the Pro/heritage grille mod. I am interested in swapping out the upper grille behind the Toyota "sombrero". (Didn't know there was a nickname for that.) Thanks for the info!

    I would suggest you post a WTB thread in your regional section or on the 5th Gen marketplace thread, stating your location.

    I think on the older TRD Offroad this was the OEM grille (for example on my 2019).
    But i don't know if these OEM parts just fit on the newer ones.
