Bull bar vs no Bull bar slim bumper

Quoted from:
4Runner Lo Pro Winch Bumper / 5th Gen / 2014+ - C4 Fabrication

We have now verified that the Full Height Bull Bar DOES NOT interfere with TSS. The Mid-height bull bar definitely will block the TSS sensor and cause a malfunction.

I just installed one in my 2021. No issues with the safety systems. C4 makes an awesome bumper. The only gotchas with the installation are you have to remove the TSS stuff from the grill when you go to reinstall the bumper. Also, the fog light wiring runs along the bottom of the factory bumper. It can be moved up with some cable clips to just above the cut line. Easy mod. I have not found a video online that discusses these situations. I believe the install videos are on 2019’s or older.

We had to fabricate a couple of brackets to raise the horizontal power steering line. That was expected. I installed the latest Smittybilt winch with the control box mounted on top.

I would also recommend cutting less on the sides. There is a bit too much of a reveal on the right side of mine. You only see it if you are really staring at it but trimming less would have helped. You can also buy a rubber trim piece from Amazon but that would need to be put on prior to putting the plastic bumper back on the truck.

There are a few photos of my install on the Magnetic Grey thread. No reservations recommending with C4 Bumper.

2022 with front camera

Has anyone seen a bull bar that will work with the new 2022 4runners with the TSS and camera? I ordered a '22 and looking for a bar that will not block the camera.
The victory looks great and I also like the C4. I think the C4 will be close to the camera but I'm thinking I may have to go without the bar and just lower bumper.
