Be careful of anything with white plastic on the chrome grill; very brittle.

 

Ive seen that one and it is good but it doesn't show you how to take it off from the truck...

 

Supereasy.
See diagram in the link I posted; the top two screws and two trim buttons.
That releases it. Wiggles out after that. Mine pulled off easier puling one side and angling it out rather than trying to pull the whole thing off at once.

 

Hey split, did you do this mod? How ez is it to get JUST the chrome bezel off?

 

I went from OR to SR, but my shroud came in chipped so I had to swap over parts.
But, not hard at all; I think I only broke two tabs. I wasn't really concerned about it's well-being either, since I wasn't re-using it. I stuffed socks as I released them to keep them from re-engaging.
When I reassembled the leftover parts for storage the chrome bezel was as solid as before. It has a lot of tabs and screws...

 

After removing the two screws and two push pins, just pull out on it. Mine was "stuck" and then released all at once nearly flying out of my hands.

 

Ok, Thanks for the heads up..

 

did just the chrome bezel pop off or all of it?

 

Yep, keep a good grip on it and move it up/down side/side as you pull out and it will pop out from the bottom. Don't worry, nothing on the bottom is holding it in except tabs. It's a bit nerve racking the first time you yank it off.

 

So you don't have to release the tabs at all..?

 

I didn't and honestly it would be hard to get your hand in there to move the tabs. Once you take the top 2 bolts off and the 2 plastic side tabs, get a good grip and start pulling out carefully.

 

Oops. Forgot about the two release tabs. You'll see it on the new shroud and know where to stick your hand. I don't think they're release tabs, so much as locating tabs. They did help to get it started.

 

Thanks for the pics! I'm planning to take mine off and plasti dip, just trying to gain some confidence before I do.

 

same here but I'm only removing & doing the bezel.

 

I might go the line x route after I just read the other thread with the sand colored tacoma. That looks sweet, I wonder if the Empire Line X shop will remove the grill for me or if they even have experience doing it.

 

I plan on using something like that, I'm not going the plasti-derp route.

 

I did on my emblems and my ocd bothered me after seeing some of the edges.
