Has anyone removed the front grill/bumper on a 2026 Trailhunter? I went to remove mine and it is different from all the videos out there on how to do it. Specifically it does not have the Phillips screw behind the fender flare. It seems to be connected higher up under the headlamp. Any help appreciated.

Hope you were able to get your project done. I have Raptor lights to put on and will need a proper video to help me…YouTube please save us!

At some point, I'm going to be removing mine to do a front bumper hidden winch install, if I don't get that ARB full front bumper. If I go that route, I'll be sure to do a youtube video!

I only picked this up in April and took awhile to get parts. So I dropped this specific mod and moved onto others, and am on the road for awhile now so late July I will look at it again.

Speaking of ARB front bumper, their new Summit variant for the 4G Tacoma has been announced as available. This new one has full hoops, what I’ve been waiting for as deer/elk/Bigfoot protection. At a whopping $2800USD at full retail, I’ll be looking to pick this up at a serious discount.

Yes it was on display at The Big Thing. They installed it on the red demo truck. I can post pix later today

I knew about their Zenith bumper, but this one should hold up against a sasquatch easily!

Thank you for posting pics! Unfortunately, there is something buggy about this website. I am not able to see these because they are zoomed in so close. I can see some grass and the edge of a tent, and that’s it.

When I previewed them they were fine, but I see what you mean so I resized them.

Thanks a bunch. I can see these pics fully now, on my iPad. On my iPhone 17 Pro, I can still see only part of each pic. This website isn’t adjusting for small screens, at least when it comes to pics.

I totally dig how that new bumper looks and would perform. PROBLEM…I want the big gas tank replacement too! Each of these mods will transform my TH Long Bed into a mean camping machine so much more than it is now capable of handling. I will do the gas tank then this, money wise :). THANKS again for reposting pics.

Yeah I am on the LRA list, but I did not get the email yesterday. But since it appears to be a replacement and not an aux, I am all in for no added failure points. Take my money!!!

I had to check my junk folder to find the LRA email from Aiden.
