TRD PRO Heritage Grill Swap

[SaturdaysNorth]

Hi guys, current 5th gen owner, I’ve seen alot of people do these sort of grill swaps with the 5th gen’s, does anyone know if the upper grill is able to be swaped or is it the entire front end?

Back story is I want to put my wife my wife in the new 4Runner, she’s driven my pro but where we live there alot of variable winter driving and she has slide the back end out and is not confident when you have to switch out from 2H to 4H. So that leaves me with going with Full time 4 wheel H models (limited specifically ), I actual have been on on the wait list for a Lexus GX550 for about 6 months now but am starting to get cold feet about it given the cost,I’m leaning towards getting a limited model and modifying it OEM+ with some 18in trd rims, exhaust ,intake and eventually a lift down the road , I hate the upper grill insert on the limited model and would love to put either the heritage grill or trd off road just for esthetics. I need to know because I see the heritage color is not offered in the pro line up and that was the color I was looking at so if it’s the front end swap I’d have to go with the underground color (both awesome regardless). I haven't seen any info on this on any of the forms, was going to ask my dealership but figured you guys would probably know.

I’m in the process of doing the heritage grill swap. Gathering parts right now. Hard part is going to be finding a mounting bracket compatible with whatever light bar I end up with. Rave Offroad recommends going with Baja S8 (minor trimming) or Heretic 20” (no trimming). Both options are pretty pricey. Rave is working on a mounting bracket right now…should be available end of August.
