Limited Bumper Conversion and Sensors

[SidKo]

I have the 2017 Limited and in a position to do the bumper swap. Curious, for those that did the swap, where did you mount the sensors? And for those that eventually installed the C4 or Southern Style Off Road low profile bumper/winch, did they affect the sensor or did the sensor detect the the bumper, winch, shackles, etc?

Thanks.

Awesome! I don't have any answers but I will be doing the same thing fairly soon as well. Good question as I would like to know that as well. I've seen where people have put the sensors, but wondered about if it will be an issue adding the low profile bumper/winch.

Looks amazing. I can't wait to do mine. Was it pretty easy to install the sensors? Is there much to it other than drilling a hole? Wasn't sure if there was some type of adhesion needed or if it just fit like a glove after drilling the hole.

It’s not mine but according to the owner,it’s fairly easy to install the sensors on an SR5 bumper

Uhm.. did Toyota make SR5’s in Blizzard Pearl? I’m confused and intrigued.

No it's a Limited Blizzard Pearl that converted their front bumper to the SR5 bumper.

Right. The bumper just doesn’t look like super white, must be the light in the photograph.

That's a 2016 Limited by the way.

Not what you're looking at, but yes they did. My '10 was BP.

If anyone here is considering doing this conversion and want to keep the sensor function, they should get the SR5 bumper. Trail/TRD Pro rear valance sits where the sensors would have been.

I'm sure i could've come up with a way to get the sensors on there, but I'm not in the mood to be creative at the moment.

I was gonna do the SR5 bumper swap but I changed my mind just because I want to keep the sensors in original form.
To me,it looks unique and better than the pro bumper now.

Jump on my thread I have plenty of pics of the conversion and a part number list.

Sub'd. Want to get a SSO or C4 bumber, but know I have to do this first...was hoping someone w/the sensors could do a full write up..

I looked at the bumpers, and looks like it is plug and play. The wiring harness unplugs from the daisy chain wiring that support the sensors. The daisy chain is held by an adhesive tape against the backside of the bumper.

I was also planning to get the low profile bumpers eventually. As I looked at it some more, I noticed that it sticks out further than the front valance. Especially with the front tow/winch hooks. Now I'm wondering if these sensors will see those and keep alerting.

Anyone here with the SSO or C4 low profile bumpers can chime in? Please let us know where you mounted your front sensors in your reply.

I did the TRD conversion on my limited and occasionally my front sensors go off when I am going down a steep driveway. Take a look at my thread and you will see my placement as I copied "Magnetic" conversion and sensor location. The good thing is you can turn them off when you are not on pavement so it's really no big deal.

Where are your pics! I know you did the conversion but haven't shown anything! . I put my sensors a little differently than straight on. Wanted to get alerted more towards the side.

Here it is do far. I'll do the sensors next week.

It’s pretty straight forward. Drill the hole where ever you want but not exceeding the existing sensor distance between each other. I believe for the rear, it may have marking behind the bumper shell but if not, just drill 2 holes in the front and 4 in the back. As for the front, if you drill where I have have it, you’ll have to notch out a couple of inches of plastic trimming behind it to clear the senor itself. Otherwise, you can find another place above, below or to the side of it.

Where did you source your parts from?
