Swap 2015 Limited Front End Bumper Assembly to SR5/Trail

RaisedByWolves · Mar 3, 2016

Looking to swap my front end from the limited I have to an SR5/Trail.

I found a few threads on search but didn't see a detailed list of what is exactly required.

I believe some of the mounts/clips won't line up exactly for just replacing this part, seen below.

Can anyone provide a list of the parts?

Better yet, does anyone in the Ohio area want to swap their SR5/Trail front end for a Limited?

Thanks

I still have a trail front bumper from a 2015 Trail in magnetic gray. It's in Denver though.

Since RBW already did his swap, I may be interested in the bumper when I'm in Colorado in three months if you still have it.

Any word on this?

Updated post so everyone can see what it takes.

I also added the TRD Front Swap Information.

I know you posted this a year and a half ago, but thank you for this!

If I'm reading it correctly, to change the front bumper and grilles on my limited to the Pro, I would just need to purchase the yellow items in the middle column, correct?

It's not a cheap swap, you're approaching after market full bumper money unless you go used.

That is correct. However there are a couple other parts that are needed which total about $100.00

About $1400 dollars to do the swap and if you want the TRD Garnish and Upper Grille add another $600.00

Plus Paint & Labor.

You can save a few dollars by locating a front bumper support that someone is removing so they can install a steel bumper.

You wouldn't happen to have part numbers for the other parts that are needed, would you? Or what they're called, and I can try and track them down.

You are on the money. I had to drop a little more as a result of headlights etc. I don't suffer from hood scoop envy like I did on my 3rd and 4th gen so went with the reg hood. Love it better now then with the Limited frontend

Planning on doing this soon too. Hope you find your parts and can't wait to see your progress

I will try to run to my office today and see if I can find the paperwork.

Like this. I'm not loving the limited front.

It's fairly simple swap and if you have basic knowledge of how to use hand tools you could easily do it.

Heck putting in a new garage door opener over the weekend took longer then the front end swap.

Did you ever find the other part numbers?

Why not just buy an SR5, Trail, TRD? Why buy a limited just to do the swap?

Because only the limited has full time 4x4, dual climate, real leather, heated & cooled seats, etc.

Not a fan of full time 4wd at all. I've actually done conversions to part time with a full time option on a number of vehicles over the years. The real leather is about $1000 to have added to any other model. If you're into the gadgets, I get it. I prefer simple though. To each their own though of course! I don't blame you guys for doing the conversions. The limited is ugly as hell on the outside.
