    Not really a problem per se, the Limited has a different lower valance that doesn’t make a chin bar fit correctly.

    Yes, not much love for the comfy runner. Gotta break out the grinder and rotary tools, and make stuff work. I'll wait my 3 years, than go to town. Had to wait with the Disco, well worth it...and the front end is fugly. The leather heated and cooled seats are good tho...

    Yep, like others said all it really means is when they designed this product on CAD they didn't include the LE bumper/valance because it's a different shape.

    Yeah the Limited front end wasn't really designed for any modifications just with nice comforts and that's the reason I switched over to the TRD front end. That way if I decide to add a winch or bull bar it will work and not look all out of place

    Stock....for now
    Just to clarify, you switched from the 2013 Limited front end to the 2013 TRD front end? This is interesting to me!

    There are a couple of threads that discuss this. Without a good source of donor parts, could be a bit pricey. I figure I will add a bumper/winch combo, get out the roto-zip and go to town.

    Well it was to a 2016 up but yeah I did. I managed to source a majority of my parts used locally and on eBay. It’s not bad at all to do.

    Just swap to non-limited bumper. Option is SR5 bumper or TRD bumper. It’s plug and play. I converted my limited exterior to TRD :)

    Please shoot up a link to the how-to on this. Have a buddy that just bought a limited that wants to do exactly this.

    My friend is not looking for a full metal bumper, just the stock Toyota bumper off of a Pro to put on his limited. He will buy the parts new no problem, just wondering what is involved. Possibly a parts list and/or a how-to.

    Here’s the parts list. Honestly everything is plug and play. I did all the work myself minus the paint :)

    The list above from Daytona Violet looks just as comprehensive. I am going to just wait and go full aftermarket when the 36,xxx comes up. After almost 5 months, I already have over 12xxx. Living in the middle of nowhere means a lot of driving. Alot.
