If you had a 4x4 sport why did it have the 4x2 grille? Did they use the 2WD grille for all sports?

I think they did use the 2wd grill for all sport models. I don't recall ever seeing a colormatched 4x4 grill from the factory

Come to think of it you are right. The Sport color matched grilles were all the same for 4x2 and 4x4. The non-chrome 4x4 grilles from the 98-00 were always black.
