    Could you go without the garnish? What features would be lost without functioning TSS?

    You can make one using 1mm acrylic and 3M black vinyl as your shield, and metal straps as your mount brackets... :anonymous::anonymous::anonymous:

    If you remove it, you'll get some error messages on the dash whenever it gets wet or crazy weather. If it's a factory garnish, they don't look bad but the aftermarket ones are awful. I'd recommend keeping it and tinting it with a 50% or so black vinyl (like lamin-x) to hide the texture a little.

    You can't see it while your driving, just never get of the truck. If you do, walk around the back, you won't see it...:rofl:

    Trade for a preTSS Tacoma.

    Most other manufacturers do not use those stupid radar sensors.

    in the process of relocating mine because of the bumper. Pending delivery of parts, if it works you can just do that and replace the grille with the non-sensor one.

    You can see the heritage TOYOTA dash board on the new 22 Tundra Pro, while driving.
