2014 + TOYOTA emblem install

[Highwaystreets]

I want to add the old school land cruiser badge to the front grill of my 2014 but have run into majors issues with the bottom cutout of the emblem.... I've seen lots of pre 2014 runners that have it but have yet to see a 2014+ in searching the web.

Has anyone done it yet? Pics and advice would be awesome!! I thought I had it today but my idea fell apart so it's back to the drawing board.

Maybe you could refresh our memories and post a picture of the badge?

This is what I did to my 2014. I think I will be moving the letters to the grill as well.

Like this?



First step is to get an aftermarket bumper.

Other option is to buy a full TRD Pro facia

Really wanted to avoid this plus the trd pro has them"toyota" already built in and in a different spot

Hmm. I guess I'd suggest taking your idea to a body shop or the like and see if they can come up with anything.

If you end up swapping out do you plan on hanging onto the Toyota symbol emblem? I have been searching for a front replacement on my 2012 TE and it seems like I have to buy a whole new grille assembly just for the emblem.

I have 2—I think—just laying around my garage. I'll try to find one when I get home tonight.

If that falls through I have mine in the tool box you are welcome to, free to a good home

Right on, thank you!! It has been killing me looking at the plug holes the last few weeks without the emblem there. I will gladly take it in case [MENTION=119442]tristero[/MENTION] cannot find one. I live in AZ, I assume that thing can just be sent in a mailing envelope?

A small flat rate box would be my choice to give it some mild protection from Angry mailmen and sorting robots
