DIY: Grill + Raptor Lights + Light Bar + Power Distribution Install (6th gen 4Runner compatible) Thread starter Gastan Start date Dec 30, 2024 Watchers 2 First Name Mark Joined Apr 9, 2024 Threads 34 Messages 136 Reaction score 169 Location Oregon Vehicle(s) Tacoma TRD Pro Thread starter #1 Another relevant DIY how-to writeup for Tacoma that's applicable to the 2025 4Runner 6th gen - source.The fang lights don't apply (Tacoma TRD Off-Road has different front end design), but the grill install can be helpful for any grill replacements on the 2025 4Runner 6th gen. The Power Distribution install is the most helpful for future 4Runner owners.By gofastdanI installed multiple things at the same time so figured I'd just create a single post for it all.I purchased this "heritage grill" that came with raptor lights and light bar. When I bought it, it was $215, which I thought was an excellent deal. I swear the vast majority of these products are exactly the same regardless of what the sticker says on the box. I knew the light bar would be junk but for the money I'll deal with it for awhile. One thing to note is that the light bar opening is not the same as the factory Tacoma grill and will only fit an ~18" light. I think the current DD Stage Series 18" will fit with a little filing and my plan is to upgrade to that at some point before they discontinue it next year in favor of the new "standard" 20" bar. I don't think it will be a straightforward swap but I'll figure it out... The grill itself is nice and although not quite the quality of the factory stuff unless you really inspect it most people would never know the difference.I installed "fang" lights at the same time. Again, I'm satisfied with the quality for the price I paid ($80). I wish they had a bit of a smoke tint to them. They don't quite match everything else but they're close. I was a bit concerned that with all the lights and whatnot going on that the front end of the truck would be gaudy (cheesy and cheap?), and some might think that's the case, but I'm happy with it and that's all that matters.There are lots of install videos on Youtube for the grill so I'm not going to try and cover the install. This video by Taco Vinyl is installing the identical grill and once you have the front end off the fang lights are self-explanatory.Here are some pictures.The grill was well packaged. The raptor lights were preinstalled but you have to install the lettering and light bar. Easy peasy... Note it has a knock out for a front camera (which I don't have). ( A future project to install a camera will happen at
