Looks like they may have updated the light bar, I believe they used to have an 18" that fit, but the next size up may have been a little too long and required some trimming of the sides. The one I see on their site now looks like it fits and has the brackets as well. Provided I'm looking at the same one.
Well, brother, I'm gonna let you know for sure haha

Also if anyone has any photos of their TRD PRO Grille upgrade (53101-AK060 ) I would love to see.
I don't have matte black fender flares but do have polished wheels, so thinking the gloss with the chrome lettering is the way to go for me

I ordered the Apex grille from YotaTribe, similar look sans the letters. I’m planning to wire them into my Auxbeam switch panel that’s similar to the box that Ruckus installed but I didn’t use OEM buttons. I mounted it over the empty slot behind the gear shift.

Awesome! Would love any photos

I just ordered a Cali Raised switch, but don't really want to F with tapping for the button backlight. Might just dremel a hole into one of the blank switches for the round 3 way rocker and if I screw that up, then take a big sigh, pop it, and install the switch lol

fairly easy install. The biggest pain was running the switch wire through the drywall.
The new grille should be in tomorrow so I’ll post an update!

Also, can I confirm this OEM Pro part # with someone ? 53101-AK060
That's the same part # I ordered as well. I was going to go with the Aspire one as well, but you can't beat OEM plus I only paid $262 for the grill. Now I'm in the same boat as to what light bar to get. i wanted Diode Dynamics to match my fogs but Damn $500 lol

I just installed mine last week on my TRD off-road. Mine didn’t come with the pre-wiring, so I ran it to the battery and then through a boot in the firewall. I went with the heretic light bar as, from my research, it was the one that fit the best (and I now can confirm that). Super easy install. Maybe it took me about 1hr to 1 and a half.

My only complaint with the TRD grill swap is the small amount of vibration/flex when going over bumpy surfaces. You can see it at night when the grill light is on. It really needs a more sold mounting surface, not plastic.

Got a link to that box ?
A little bit more information on that fuse box. It's a Blue Sea 5025. I love Blue Sea products, but dang they are spendy. This is one of those things where you get what you pay for. I used the same fuse box when I wired up the solar in the canopy camper.

I believe this information is correct. I'm going to Overland Expo in Flagstaff next month and I'm going to ask them specifically about this.
