    I bought the faux pro grille from Toyota Pro Shops (maybe? I can’t remember) Depending on how long y’all have had it installed it will throw the system failure every time until it’s recalibrated. You just took a radar detection system and moved it’s location a few inches down from where it’s programmed from the factory. I have a short commute but it took maybe a couple weeks until it stopped giving the failure warning. So give it time, and more than likely it will smooth itself out. Mine has worked great since, other than a couple times when I took my grille out and had to unplug it, then it might’ve been a bugger for a couple days.

    stock a fawk!
    Hope so too. I’m starting to feel like I e should have went with Fox like I originally planned. They’re at their shop at the moment. But I showed up at one of their busiest times. With king of the hammers just passing. So I probably won’t see them back for a few days

    Thanks for that info.
    I went back and redid everything and TSS lit right back up. I’ll drive her a week or so and see if it recalibrates

    I used the screw and the inserts when I mounted mine. That’s the video I saw. Still had issues. However this morning on my 8 mile drive to work it did not come on. We will see. It’s been a few weeks.

    So the system will recalibrate itself after driving for awhile?

    Mine did, and that’s what I heard in a couple videos so since mine did it I believe it. I’d also like to think most people with faux pro grilles aren’t driving around all the time with that light on :rofl:

    One last posting with them fully installed and the front end pieced back together. Perfect? Far from it. Definitely want to upgrade the stock highbeam now to match the tint/hue of the bi-xenon. At least the passive demon eyes came out great! But man oh man, am I happy to finally wrap up this project. Once again, huge huge huge shout out to meso & vtec for all the countless questions they answered for me, as well as everyone who's contributed to the various BHLM threads with tips and advice.

    Looks sweet for sure.
    Headlamps are maybe my last upgrade.
    Instead of looking back through all the posts, which units did you go with, or did you make your own

    Hey fellow Arizonan! Are you on stock suspension with the aftermarket bumper/winch setup? I'm still researching how that will impact my suspension and what I may need to accommodate it.

    My guess is the position on the TSS when moved is right on the edge so it seems a crap shoot if it works or not. I think the only fool proof way is a recalibration but that means dealing with the dealership and all that implies. That's issue is keeping me from moving to a Pro grill. I really like the looks of the Pro grill and the cost of the aftermarket grill is very reasonable but fighting the TSS is not something I want to do.

    I bought my Pro Grill from Taco Garage. I purchased a Toyota OEM Garnish. I have never had any issue, this includes from bone stock to 1" Fox Pro lift and 1" larger tires.

    I think the oem garnish is the key. I have an Amazon pro grille (seven Sparta) with oem garnish and never had a problem. It’s been installed for more than a year and I’ve had the grille off multiple times for other reasons. I recently did about a 3” lift and still no issues.
