TRD Limited Fat Bike Hauler v1.1

I realized I posted this in another thread and should have posted this here also.

So this is what it takes parts wise to make the swap the front and rear bumpers from a Trail/TRD to a Limited. There are 4 more parts that I will add tonight when I get home. Which are behind the grille ducting air into the radiator.

I am still trying to figure out if there is a lower radiator close out panel that is used when you have the TRD Skid Plate. So far we have tried two of them and neither work.

So if I understand the spreadsheet...I have a limited now and want a TRD pro front end. I need part No.1 to get the cover. Everything in purple came with that cover. Everything else in yellow needs purchased as well. Correct?
 
There are a couple more pieces that you will need to order. Here is a side-by-side compare of the rear covers. I highlighted them in yellow.

shoot me a pm if you need more help.

Hey 2nd Chance. I am working on replacing my limited rear bumper with OR/TRDP bumper and am curious about where these tow hitch brackets mount up. I don’t see them mentioned at all in the service manual for the rear bumper assembly. Appreciate the help!

Hitch brackets bolt directly to the frame and it doesn't effect the rear bumper cover at all.
 
Awesome, good to know! What is their utility, are they really needed at all? Do they already exist on a Limited that came with a tow hitch from the factory?

For the rear parking sensors, were the holes in the bumper for routing the cables/ sensors to the valence just cut with a Dremel?

Once again, appreciate the guidance from someone who’s done it!

We drilled a small pilot hole and then used a unibit / Step Bit to get the desired hole size.

When I get home tonight I will take picture of the rear bumper sensor location.



Here is a picture of the factory hitch. (sorry pictures are from an ebay listing)
