I was looking at those. Considering adding them.

 

Wow that seems expensive... Anyone seen one cheaper?

 

Summit Racing has it for $686, ship to store. 4WP carries them too I believe. Summit had the best price that I was able to find at the time.

 

It’s depends what design you buy. The one I got is works great. And I don’t need cut into my bumper too.

 

So Warn kept pushing the delivery date back on the non-hoop model. I bought mine around October 10, with an ETA of November 1. Then it went to the 3rd, 4th, and then 5th. On the 6th it was still showing the 5th. I called, and the date was pushed to November 15. That turned into the 16th, then the 28th, 29th, and 30th. Then it became December 1, 2, 3, and now the 16th.
Summit had the hoop model in stock, so I cancelled my first order this morning and will go pick up one today. Didn't want the hoop, but it's not a deal killer and I can do some other stuff with the hoop, so now I will have a cow catcher.

 

Has anyone installed the model with the bar (#100044) on a 2020 TRD OR yet?
I know they have the new model without the bar (#106252) that won’t mess with the TSS, but WARN customer service says that for a 2020 you need to go without the bar so the TSS works.
I have seen in the thread that the mount with bar is OK to use on a TRDOR (non TRD Pro) - can anyone confirm this for a 2019 or newer vehicle?

 

If sensor is in middle of grill bar model will work. I have 2019 with sensor in the middle of the grill and the warn mount with bar.

 

The link below is the grill I have. Love this metal grill. Worked fine with warn winch mount with bar. The pro grills have the sensor at the bottom.

Anybody have pics of the no-hoop version installed?

 

I just used a cutting wheel and cut the hoop off. Ground it down and covered it with bed spray.

 

Yeah yours was the only one I saw with no hoop, and you did a great job. Probably safe to say the non hoop factory version would look identical to yours.

 

Thanks. You'd think it's an easy change for the manufacturer. Just leave it off and triple your market, duh.

 

Will this warn bull bar affect the tss sensor? I have a 2018 sr5.

 

If you have the standard grill, I think your sensor is a bit higher (behind the Toyota symbol), and you *might* be OK. Hopefully someone that has tried it can chime in.

 

Thanks, I hope somebody can help verify. It’s a big investment for me

 

I've had it on my 2018 TRD sport since it was new. No issue for TSS.

 

For those of you that own this bumper, can you comment on how the tow hooks are attached. This is the only image I can see where they pass through the front. Are they just welded on the front or do they actually pass through and are welded to the mounting plates?

And is anyone running the Warn 10,000 lbs VR EVO 10-S Winch or Warn 12,000 lbs VR EVO 12-S Winch with it?

 

there’s two locations on the front of the bumper. Just attach your standard d rings to it and there you have it.

 

I understand that but you missed my question. I am asking, are they just welded on the front or do they pass through the front and are welded to the mounting plates?

If they pass through the front plate and are welded on the backside, then this would create a much stronger tow hook/recovery point
