Jeffrey Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I've got a '91 Toyota Winnebago and my girlfriend backed into it's grille...ouch. It cracked and I contained my temper, more or less, and said "Were you looking in your rear view mirror when you backed out of the garage?" Her blood sugar was low, conjecture on my part, so I let it ride, so to speak. Anyway, it needs to be replaced. I think the "emblem" that says' "TOYOTA" survived, although, I'll have to remove it first to see, up close and personal, it's condition. Started to remove the grille, and, I must say, it's been a chore thus far, but got the top "mount clamps" pulled out but a few on the bottom have not been cooperative. I'm wondering if anyone happens to know where I might find a grille for this truck, ON LINE? It's the painted grey one with "V6" on it and the "TOYOTA" emblem (removable) right in the center. Can this procedure, remove old and replace with new, be done by someone, like myself, who is "reasonably coherent"? Or does it take a degree and/or special tools, to slip the lower mount clamps out?

Odyssey 4x4 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Your best bet would probably be finding a local truck being parted out on craigslist or of course ebay. The clamps shouldn't be too hard to get out. A flat head screwdriver should be able to pop them out most of the time. Old plastic is brittle so of course be careful.

linda s Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I replaced the grille on my Nissan with one from ebay. Less than 50 bucks and some come with the clips. If not the clips are there too. Some with free shipping too. Hey if I can do it anyone can http://www.ebay.com/sch/Grilles-/33645/i.html?_from=R40&_vxp=mtr&selfil=1%2C2%2C3%2C4%2C5&selvel=1991%7EToyota%7EPickup%7EBase%2520Cab%2520%2526%2520Chassis%25202-Door%7E3.0L%25202959CC%2520V6%2520GAS%2520SOHC%2520Naturally%2520Aspirated&_nkw=grille+1991+Toyota+Pickup+Base+3.0L Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks you two, trouble is, is, when I go to ebay, there seems to be a number of grilles that are for the "89-91". Just can't quite figure which one. Their pictures don't quite do the grille justice. But I'll email the sellers to ferret out which one I think will work. Thanks again for your help.

turtle Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Yours should be the deluxe grill which looks like chrome (shiney plastic). It is 3 pieces. Large center and the 2 outside light bezel rings. A used one should come with all 3 parts You can use the RV salvage yard search engine and probabaly find one for less than on eBay but check both sources. http://car-part.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
