Top 5 Grille Mods For The 3rd Gen 4Runner

Simple Upgrades For Your 1996-2020 4Runner From SRQ -The Leader In 3G 4Runner Mods!

Upgrading the grille on your 3rd Gen 4Runner is one of the easiest ways to modernize the front end and make your rig stand out.

Whether you're going for a clean OEM+ look or building a rock crawler, SRQ Fabrications has a range of grille options and accessories to dial in your build.  

These bolt-on upgrades not only improve aesthetics but also allow for better airflow, accessory mounting, and lighting integration.

Below are five of the most popular grille mods we recommend for the 3rd Gen platform.

1. Special Edition Flush Grille

This version brings a clean, badge-less style to the front end with a unique flush-mounted look. The heritage Toyota logo is a classic that's tough to beat. It's a great option if you want something aggressive but not too loud. Fits all 3rd Gens.

2. DIY Grille Kit

Perfect for the hands-on builder. This kit allows you to custom cut and mesh your own grille insert. Comes with hardware and mesh backing to make it your own.

3. Flush Grille (Standard)

SRQ’s original flush grille upgrade keeps things simple and clean with mesh behind the opening. Still one of the most popular choices for a no-nonsense front end refresh. Very similar to the special edition, you just get different strips and no added lights.

4. Tri Color Grille Badge

Add some color to your grille setup with this classic tri-color badge. Works great on any SRQ grille and adds a subtle Toyota heritage touch.

5. Grille Raptor Lights Kit

This add-on kit lets you run a clean 3-light amber marker setup in your SRQ grille. Plug-and-play harness makes install quick and easy, and the amber LEDs give your 3rd Gen that signature look seen on modern Toyota trucks.

Honorable Mention: LED Pod Brackets

While not a grille mod by itself, these brackets allow you to mount pod lights next to your high clearance bumper. A super clean way to add function and stealth light output.

Final Thoughts

SRQ Fabrications has created plug-and-play grille options that take the guesswork out of installation and deliver a custom look. We're known for our 3rd Gen 4R grilles and there is a reason why you see so many high-end builds running them. They look amazing, and the installation is very simple.
