It says you have to remove the skid plate. Can I put it back on after installing grille guard?

I don't think so. I have been reviewing this product on tacoma world blog and it seems that you would have to cut about 2 " off your skid plate to allow it to fit. :/

I have a limited and I installed mine but the issue is there is no lower grill with the cutouts. I just took a razor and slowly cut mine out from the stock grill

You need to cut out the dividers (###) in the grill. Unless you purchase the Complete Billet Grill with the Chevy bow tie and the center chrome bar. Then it's just a complete swap.

You need to remove it and make a small cut on the inside of the fender. Here are full installation instructions: http://www.omix-ada.com/instructions/17756.20.pdf

Not really......or enough to matter. Orig grille is slightly recessed. The new one does go over top but is not too thick and looks good. Mine looks great.

you have to cut the original grill out in order for this grill to be installed. The honey comb and the chrome bars both must be removed. I highly recommend professional installation.

Matt, I would need to take off the chrome cover in order to see that. It needs a special wrench that is included with the kit - I am not sure exactly where that is. I will look for the installation instructions and get back to you.

You will have to remove it, It mounts where the aftermarket hitch mounts. This bumper has a hitch, witch works just fine.

Yes, xD i took the plate off but its oversized enough that you could remove the screws and mount the new pad back over the original pad and prevent its loss, also stripper clips are really tight i took pliers and loosened em' up a bit also closed up one end so i could only load them one direction to help avoid rim-lock

I did it last weekend, and it isn't that difficult. However, the badges I purchased are flat, and I am still trying to get the rear badge to adhere on the curve of the trunk lid. To remove, on the trunk-remove the lid liner on the inside, remove two screws retaining the badge from inside. I pried mine off with a plastic door panel removal tool, although have also seen people do it with plastic coated wire or fishing line. Heating with a hair drier helps. For the front, I recommend against removing the grill, it is a real pain. I broke mine to remove it and then the new one fit into the spot. Takes about an hour to hour and a half.

There is a clip on the back to secure the emblem. We are not sure if you can open the hood and reach behind the grill. If you can, then you are set and will not have to remove anything.

You don't need to remove the bumper, but you may need to remove the plastic cover that sits between the bumper and the grill. The instructions said that the cover needs to be cut, but I managed to do it without cutting. The hardest part will be getting the nuts and bolts in place, in the tight small spaces. The bottom plastic under the bumper may need to be removed for easy access to put the bolts in place.

No. I took the Chrome skin off mount. The mount does not work with tow package. If the mounting bracket is not damaged you can just replace the chrome skin it's only a couple of bolts

I am not for sure, it fits the stock bumper just fine. I had to cut on my plate a little in order to accomidate my aftermarket grill guard

No it will not interfere with the airbag sensors which are mounted behind the grill. I assume the strength of the steel and the fact that the bumper has a brush guard. It would take a much more severe impact to set them off.

I didn,t have a skid plate on my 2014 Tacoma but my installation instructions says to remove before installation. I hope this will help you.
