Wanted to do something a little different for the Limited. Swapped out to the Canadian SR5 bumper. Very similar to the trail but no plastic overlay. I also kept the fender trim white to keep the lines clean and mimicked the trail front end. All in all I’m in about $400 as I painted myself. Super happy with the look and don’t think anyone else has done it this way. Next up is to trim the rockers and slap sliders on.

Wow aren't you a ball of joy. Looking at your other comments I am not surprised you posted another snide, sarcastic comment.

Looking good! Great job.
Thanks! I've always loved the OG trail front end as it's a little more aggressive and less chunky. I wanted to keep clean lines so I thought this was a good compromise (plus I don't have to swap out all the fender trim). Once the rockers are trimmed and sliders installed, I think it'll look even better.
Thanks man! In a way this was cheaper than a full trail front end as I didn't need to paint fender trim black, and didn't need the extra plastic pieces. Its a hybrid design of sorts lol. Definitely makes the front more aggressive and the tires more beefy.
I had tried to do this when I had front end damage that required a new front bumper but the part was on 6months back order and my shop couldn't get it. Was it a direct swap or did you have to order extra parts.
Looks really good. I may attempt again if the need arise. Looks so much better than the US bumper.

What year is your Sr5? I did a similar thing with my my ‘16 limited. Except opted for the trd bumper. Mainly because I plan to put a low pro winch bumper one day.
Amazon of all places, $130 shipped. Fit is pretty good too.

It’s a ‘12 Limited. I love the new front ends, but didn’t want to do the whole swap as it’s much more expensive with all the extra parts. You can still do a low pro on the OGs, I’m looking at the Victory Blitz bumper myself.

I bought these parts to make this happen, the bumper came from Amazon, and for paint, I started with a white base, then did duplicolor white pearl (070 code), then a few layers of clear. I trimmed my existing fender liners quite a bit with shears (whatever it works lol). The grille is from Toyota Accessories Guy. For the bumper portion (not including grille) I spent about $400 which is really doable.

did you also paint your door handles ?Oh likely, I removed the lower air dam a long time ago on the stock limited bumper. This is also painted differently from the Canadian SR5 version.

Just not impressed is all.
Is everyone supposed to be all giddy about it and hold hands?
I put an oem hood on my truck, i didnt post pics because its not anything cool and i dont care what you think.
Dude **** off and get a life. I see you put a TRD pro grille on your ride, guess what, I’d still say that is cool. If you don’t have an opinion why even chime in?
