At TEQ Customs, we’re passionate about helping fellow Toyota enthusiasts upgrade their vehicles with premium, purpose-driven parts. That’s why we’re proud to offer the TRD Pro Grille for the 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner a sleek, functional, and aggressive-looking upgrade that brings a modern TRD aesthetic to your classic rig.

Whether you’re refreshing your 3rd Gen 4Runner’s look or building it into the trail-ready beast of your dreams, this grille is a must-have piece that ties the whole front end together.

Product Information

Our TRD Pro Grille for the 1996–2002 Toyota 4Runner is a direct-fit, bolt-on replacement that adds the iconic Toyota Racing Development style to your build. It’s modeled after the modern TRD Pro grilles found on newer Tacomas and 4Runners, but precision-designed to fit the unique front end of your third-gen SUV.

Crafted from high-quality materials and finished in a durable matte black, the grille features bold block-style lettering across the center and an optional raptor-style LED light kit that enhances nighttime visibility and adds aggressive off-road styling. It’s more than just a cosmetic mod, it's a statement that your rig is built for adventure.

Why It Stands Out

Let’s be real, the factory grille on the 3rd Gen 4Runner hasn’t aged nearly as well as the rest of the vehicle. The body lines and platform are timeless, but the front grille could use a refresh. That’s where our comes in.

Here’s why our customers love this upgrade:

Modern style, classic fit:
You get the rugged, aggressive look of the newer TRD models without compromising the originality of your 4Runner’s front end.

Easy install:
No cutting, drilling, or fab work needed. Just bolt it in and hit the road (or trail).

Built to last:
We don’t deal in cheap knockoffs. This grille is designed to withstand off-road abuse and daily driving alike.

What You Get

When you order the TRD Pro Grille, you get everything you need for a smooth and frustration-free install. Your kit includes:

1x TRD Pro Style Grille (Matte Black Finish)

1x TOYOTA Lettering Emblem (Matte Black or Red finish, depending on your style)

Optional:
Raptor-style amber LED lights + wiring harness (if selected)

You won’t need to run around searching for extra pieces. We include all mounting hardware, and we even offer tech support if you hit any snags along the way.
