    It is not. It has a front leveling kit but thats it. I do believe the Off road suspension sits a little taller than the other models minus the trd pro.

    I've used Rust-Oleum Protective Enamel Metallic Cobalt Blue Spray Paint which was $5.76 from Home Depot. I've used this paint for lettering on my skid plate, my front recovery hook, shovel and hi-lift handles, etc. It's a close match to the truck, has metallic flakes, and may just be a hair lighter

    See below for some photos of parts I've done with it

    So what you're saying is that you've never used your shovel, axe, or hi-lift? :rofl::hattip:

    Shovel and axe have both been used numerous times, thank you very much haha. Primarily for camping, less for offroading

    Hi-lift was never used, just had for contingency but a sitiuation never arose. Since I never used it, I sold it

    Did not mean to offend. The overpriced Toyota brand grille has become somewhat of a dinosaur on TW. My Chinese knockoff could crumble and go to junk tomorrow. It was worth the risk to me and it paid off. Most people are opting to buy the cheaper versions from overseas and from U.S. vendors. Side by side there really is no visible difference (with most of the knockoffs). Those of us with the cheap ones may regret it down the road. As of now, after nearly 5 months, I am extremely pleased with mine :fingerscrossed:. For a piece of plastic I personally would never pay over $250 for the oem. But thats just my opinion. Some people wouldn't pay over $250 for a skid plate either. As long as you are happy with yours that is all that matters. Both look good and fit good. I guess only time and the elements will determine if the $370 grille is any better than the $140 grille.

    No offense taken. I did not want to pay the $499 Toyota MSRP price, so this was the best alternative I could find for OE. Only reason I didn’t pursue the Chinese Knock-off....I decided not to mess with maybe getting it sooner or later ( some issues I read here on TW), or possibly getting it with broken tabs. Glad we are both happy with our grills. I now need to order the Blazen Blue Toyota Letters for the same look as yours. Cheers!

    That $500 price is pretty ridiculous. At least they are finally lowering that at some dealers. Regarding online parts another good one is midatlantictoyotaparts.com in Richmond. Have bought from them and mcgeorge. If you need something that is a dealer only part you should pm @gunny1005 on here as he works at camelback and gets good prices for members.
