BPF 12-15 Toyota Tacoma Cooling Panel

When you're crawling up steep, loose trails in 4-Low, natural airflow to the radiator drops dramatically. The BPF 2012-2015 Toyota Tacoma Cooling Panel seals the gap between the core support and the grille, forcing incoming air directly through the radiator fins rather than letting it escape over the top. This functional, lightweight upgrade keeps coolant temperatures regulated during slow, high-load driving and seriously cleans up the look of your 2nd Gen's engine bay.

Key Features

• Optimized Cooling: Directs incoming air straight into the radiator core to maintain safe operating temperatures on the trail or while towing.

• Built-In Work Surface: Creates a clean, flat shelf across the radiator support—a perfect spot to rest tools and hardware while wrenching under the hood.

• Corrosion-Resistant Build: Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in a durable black powder coat to shrug off road salt and harsh weather conditions.

• Zero-Modification Install: Drops perfectly into place using the factory fan shroud push clips, requiring no drilling or cutting.

What’s Included

• (1) BPF Aluminum Cooling Panel

• Note: Uses your existing factory fan shroud push clips for installation. The magnetic tray shown in some older BPF photos has been discontinued and is not included.

Pro TipIf you spend a lot of time grinding up BC Forest Service Roads in the summer heat, thermal management is critical. We always appreciate this panel in the shop—not just for the temperature regulation, but because it gives you a solid shelf to set your 10mm socket on without it instantly dropping down into your skid plates. Keep in mind: you must have an aftermarket hood strut kit installed first, as this panel covers the mounting hole for the factory manual hood prop.
