The ARIES Pro Series grille guard is unlike any other grille guard or brush guard on the road today because of its patented center crossbar. The ARIES Pro Series grille guard has a unique center crossbar that is able to house an LED light bar, allowing you to truly set your truck apart from all others. Rather than using a set of light clips or forcing you to drill holes into the frame, the aerodynamic crossbar of the Pro Series grille guard is the light bar housing itself. It uses a 30" slotted channel bracket to accept one or more single-row light bars (light bars not included; some 30" light bars may not fit the channel bracket). The crossbar mount can also articulate, allowing you to position the light beam at any angle you prefer. Integrating the channel mount into the crossbar housing also keeps the light bar protected from the elements. To further stylize your truck, the Pro Series grille guard also comes with an interchangeable grille guard cover plate. Included with each grille guard is a black mesh cover plate that easily bolts on and provides added security for your aftermarket lights. The mesh cover plate can be swapped out with other cover plate options, including five different styles and two finishes. Solid construction should be an essential feature of any grille guard, and the Pro Series grille guard is more than qualified. It has a one-piece design of 1/4" thick welded plates and 1-1/2" mandrel-bent carbon steel tubing. We also finish each Pro Series grille guard in a highly durable, dual-layer E-coat and textured black powder coat, giving it resilience to rust and scratches. This unique finish also helps hide minor scratches and grime to maintain a clean look. ARIES Pro Series grille guards are made vehicle-specific for seamless integration with the factory bumper and an easy, no-drill installation. This grille guard fits select model years of the Toyota Tacoma (see application info to verify fitment).

The ARIES P2068 Pro Series Black Steel Grille Guard, No-Drill, Select Toyota Tacoma (Part #BBDRP2068) fits the following vehicles: 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
Yes, the ARIES P2068 Pro Series Black Steel Grille Guard, No-Drill, Select Toyota Tacoma (Part #BBDRP2068) is designed to fit the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma.
The ARIES P2068 Pro Series Black Steel Grille Guard, No-Drill, Select Toyota Tacoma (Part #BBDRP2068) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The P2068 kit includes one grille guard, two frame mounting brackets (driver and passenger side), two top mounting brackets, one LED support flange, and all required fasteners: 2 clip nuts (8mm), 2 hex bolts (8mm), 2 flat washers (8mm), 2 lock washers (8mm), 4 bolt plates (10mm), 6 hex bolts (10mm), 2 button head bolts (10mm), 20 flat washers (10mm), 12 lock washers (10mm), 12 hex nuts (10mm), and 2 plastic retainers (10mm). The LED light and its mounting hardware are sold separately.
Yes. The P2068 includes an LED support flange but the LED light and its mounting hardware are sold separately. LED manufacturers may have different mounting styles or brackets, so you will need to select an LED light and determine the appropriate mounting option before attaching it to the support flange.
The manual does not specify the vehicle make, model or year. Contact ARIES Automotive at 877.287.8634 or visit ARIESAUTOMOTIVE.COM for fitment information.
You will need: ratchet, 16mm wrench, 13mm socket, utility knife, 17mm socket, and 6mm Allen wrench.
Yes. Step 11 explicitly states 'With help, lift the grille guard up to the mounting brackets,' indicating that at least one additional person is required to safely lift and position the grille guard during installation.
You must remove the air dam from the bottom of the front bumper (Step 4) and the factory hex bolt on the passenger side of the vehicle (Step 5). You will also need to open the hood and remove the plastic cover to access the support bar in front of the radiator (Steps 7–8). The air dam is reinstalled after modification in Step 10.
Yes. In Step 10, you mark the locations of the mounting brackets on the air dam using a marker and tape, then cut two slots large enough to clear the mounting brackets. The air dam is then reinstalled. This is a permanent modification to the factory air dam.
1. Select an LED light and mounting hardware (sold separately) and attach them to the support flange. 2. Place a clip nut on both ends of the support flange. 3. Insert an 8mm hex bolt, lock washer and flat washer into each clip nut, leaving enough space between the flat washer and clip nut to slot the support flange into the light bar cage on the grille guard.
Place the grille guard face down on a flat, stable work surface. Insert the support flange into the light bar cage on the grille guard and ensure the flat washer, lock washer and head of the hex bolt are on the outside of the center flange.
The frame mounting brackets are secured using the factory hex bolt that was removed from the passenger side, along with a 10mm flat washer, 10mm lock washer and 10mm hex nut. A 10mm bolt plate is inserted into the large frame hole and a 10mm plastic retainer is used to keep the bolt plate from falling into the frame. This process is repeated for both the passenger-side and driver-side mounting brackets.
Locate the support bar in front of the radiator (accessed after opening the hood and removing the plastic cover). Insert a 10mm bolt into the two outer-most holes on the support bar. Place the top mounting bracket up to the support bar and secure it using a 10mm flat washer, 10mm lock washer and 10mm hex nut. Repeat for the driver-side top mounting bracket.
The grille guard is secured to the frame mounting brackets using 10mm hex bolts with flat washers on the outside and 10mm flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts on the inside. The top mounting brackets are secured using 10mm button head bolts with flat washers on the outside and 10mm flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts on the inside.
Once the grille guard is aligned, tighten all hardware. Periodic inspections should be performed to ensure all mounting hardware remains tight. For black finishes, mild soap may be used to clean the product.
