Over the last couple years I have been getting constant requests to make the retro TEQ grille badges for the 3rd Gens. I already make them for most Cruiser grilles and some 4Runner grilles but I have not gotten to the 3rd gen. One reason is that fact that there are 3 different grilles with 3 different OEM grille badges. Recently I decided to stop the annoying requests and take on this project. The 99-00 TEQ grille badge is now done. I recently shipped it to a member on here and I should have pics to show in the next day or two. Now I want to focus on the 96-98 and the 01-02 grille badge. I need a couple things from you guys. I need zoomed in pics of the OEM grille badge mounted from both the 96-98 and the 01-02. I would also love a couple pics of the grille with the badge removed. Finally I need the exact height and width dimensions of the OEM grille badge and possibly the height and width of the hole when the badge is removed. Can you guys help me with that? Here's a few CAD pics of the 99-00 TEQ grille badge. There is a separate backing plate that goes down into the grille and creates a flat surface for the badge to attach to. In the pics the backing plate is gray and the badge is black. I only did that so you guys could see the 2 parts. The actual product would all be one matching color. The backing plate would be totally hidden behind the badge.

I just got pics of the first prototype installed. I'm happy with how it looks. The guy wanted the red/silver combo. My TEQ badges always come in the red/silver, black/silver, and raw metal (for folks that want a custom color). Here's how it looks. This rig is in getting custom bumpers so it's not all put together.

I would definitely be interested in one for my Hilux. It has the limited grille

Subbing this cause I definitely want an 01-02 badge in bare metal so I can paint gold and gunmetal.

I have a 01-02 grille laying around.. let me get you some photos and measurements. Stand by..

It's hard to tell but I THINK I can see those dimensions. Is the 01-02 badge 3.43" tall by 5.15" wide?

I did a little research on the 01-02 badge and apparently it's the same badge as the 95-97 80 Series Landcruiser and the 98-02 100 Series Landcruiser. That means I have this badge in stock. It has the same 3 holes as my badge. I measured my 80 Series TEQ grille badge and it appears to match the measurements given above (assuming I'm seeing your measurements correctly). This is good news. That means I have the 99-00 badge and the 01-02 badge all done. Now I just need to focus on the 96-98 badge. Does anyone have a grille from a 96-98 laying around. I can buy it off you or maybe borrow it if willing. Here's some pics of the 80/100 series TEQ grille badge for reference.

I can confirm this. I just bought a brand new OEM toyota badge for my 2001.

I ordered part #: 75311-60090. It was a direct fit.

According to this site, the badge fits LC 1995-2003 and 4runners.

I'd be interested in a badge. LMK

What year grille do you have? I need a volunteer to stick my badge on the 01-02 grille. If someone is willing, I will give them 1/2 off the badge up front. Once they get it installed and send me pics then I will refund the original 50% so the badge will be totally free. I just need quality pics of the badge installed on a 4Runner before I can put them on my site.

I’m in! I’ll re install the old grille and remove the Satoshi. Let me know.

Thanks for being willing to help. I actually already got a PM a little while ago with a volunteer to take pics of the 01-02 Grille with the new TEQ badge installed. Now I need to track down the 96-98 grille. Any ones out there? If someone will loan me their grille I will provide the TEQ badge for free and I will cover the cost to ship the grille out to me and ship it back.

Well, I’d still be interested in a badge for the 01,even if I have to pay for it.
