Overview
The T-Rex Billet Grille Insert (part 20887) is a polished aluminum grille insert for the 2001–2004 Toyota Tacoma.
Each insert is built for a bolt-on fit that needs fewer tools and no cutting. It starts from solid T-5 or T-6 billet aluminum instead of extruded stock, receives a glossy powder coat, and is finished with a three-stage polish and cleaning. Manufacturing takes place at the Southern California facility.
Key features
- Polished aluminum finish
- Billet aluminum construction
- Bolt-on design with fewer tools and no cutting
- Glossy powder coat over the billet base
- Three-stage polishing and cleaning during manufacturing
Care and inspection
The grille area of a pickup takes more weather and road debris than most body panels, so a billet insert benefits from periodic checks. Look at the powder coat for chips along the edges, where stones and washing tools tend to strike first. A small chip can be touched up before corrosion starts under the coating, which keeps the surface looking consistent.
Fasteners in this area can work loose after rough driving or off-pavement use. Recheck them after the first few drives and again at routine service intervals. If the insert rattles, stop and find the cause rather than adding padding, because a loose mount can let the piece move against the paint.
- Check edges and corners for chips
- Recheck mounting hardware after rough roads
- Wash with mild soap, not abrasive pads
- Keep spare clips with the old hardware
