    This and that
    Mostly I was thinking about sticking some of the leds together. Not really looking to melt wires. Did see someone hook up two batteries to jump, the wrong way. Plastic began to fall off instantly. It was amazing.

    Mine have been great. The cutoff is pretty good so just follow the many instruction videos or write ups and aim the properly. Really high quality product.

    OK, so I want to make sure I understand this, I feel like I am missing something... I am thinking about buying this, for my stock 2023 SR5, other than the $138 (plus shipping) what else to I need to keep the TSS still working??? I do have the anytime front camera kit from Trail Grid Pro still to install...

    I did add both of these..
    PT595-35210 - Cam bracket
    PT413-35210 - Connector cap

    I was looking at it too...looks like it comes with the Garnish for TSS.

    I don't have the camera so the holder would not be used.

    It doesn't look to obvious the camera holder not being used.

    What will be affected with a stock suspension and 245 tires with the TSS being lower in the grill...

    I guess I just don't want to buy this and it not work for me...

    I am probably overthinking this, but I need to know yes or no will it work with out buying more parts or having to recalibrate anything????

    Recalibration: washer(s) can be inserted on set screws of tss garnish. Worst case scenario is you need a 1/16" washer on your lower garnish holding screw, to compensate for higher mount position. And screws are easy to reach without having to disassemble grille. There's my opinion. My trd pro grille tss required one additional washer, was perfectly fine with that, used it everyday.

    You're right to question this install...I would too!

    EDIT: I did not add a washer/spacer on camera as suggested by seller video.

    For me, I did not have the TSS calibrated and it's worked as advertised since install in Aug/2022.

    I test it out every time I put DRCC (Dynamic Radar Cruise Control) on the highway.

    I engage the LDA (Lane Departure Alert) and that works as advertised.

    I test the DRCC Distance Bar thingy as well.

    Everything works and has worked since I installed an aftermarket grill.

    That's a Great Price for what you get...to include shipping.

    Please keep us updated on your install.

    Most defiantly, I have not even checked to see where the dealer is located, but they said I should have everything by the 10th, how ever I think the Front Bumper/Grille For Cap/Connector Housing thingy may be delayed due to this warning... Special Order Item: Please allow an additional 3 - 5 business days for shipment.

    Install may be once the weather levels out... lol
