Yeah I did it myself, took about 2 hours taking my time. And yes those are the light bar and brackets I used.

How was the camera relocation. I read you need a new cable, is that true?

Only if you have a camera, I did not.

You do not need a new cable. You can cut the existing one out of the existing harness to reroute it but buying another cable eliminates that step. You just leave the OEM cable in place and install the new one to the new location.

Looks great!!! I did the swap a week ago and one of m favorite changes. I'm actually not mad at the fact that it takes a lot more work than it did on the 5th gen. Won't see it as commonly done.

Looks great!! I was thinking of just doing the upper grill, but the lower looks great also.

Thanks.

For me I wanted the lightbar. I needed more forward light and the OEM setup is the cleanest way I've seen it done. I also don't like how the non pro lower wasn't the same pattern as the TRD trims. This way it all matches. And lastly, I couldn't see doing the work to swap the top and not just doing the couple more steps to do the lower.

Any pics or thoughts on the rough country light bar for this use case? I keep eyeing that one but stick between that and a pro diode dynamics ss20

Man, this looks SO good! I had hoped to find a way to do this when I'd decided on an ORP instead of a Trailhunter, but not sure I want to go through the effort. Seeing yours and others in this thread makes it so tempting though!

Agreed. This looks amazing. I’m even digging the double dual look in each oem fog position. Wish diode made a kit like this. Wonder if it would look stupid if I ran one white and one amber c2 on each side.
