    User @RFolsom posted in the “What’d you mod today” thread a few days ago with a low profile bumper w bar on an 18, maybe he can share his experience in here! (Hope my link
    /quote works)

    Yes, it blocks the TSS. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned they moved the sensor up and over and it worked. I don't care for the TSS and don't use cruise control, so it not working is ok.

    Some guys in the thread about the Warn lo-pro bumper said there's no interference with the TSS sensor.

    For what it's worth, I think the bumper in the pics in the post above should work fine with the standard tacoma grill, but like @RFolsom stated above, the sensor would need to be moved for a pro grill.

    Excellent point. It might work with some factory grills. It does not work for my knockoff TRD Pro grill.

    I’m asking about plate type bumpers with a low profile Baja loop. I intend to use a pro grill, so the radar will be lower, right in the way of the bar probably. Might have to go with a full sized loop to avoid the interference.

    No TSS on mine but I think the Warn would interfere with 2018+

    Hey everyone. I figured I would throw my Canadian made product up here as well. This is our (ARC One Industries: ) Stealth One Series front bumper for the 3rd gen Tacoma. What do you guys think? (Please note that the CBI style lightbar cutout was a specific customer request, and the standard style is the honeycomb to match the Tacoma Grille):

    I know this is the "Complete" third gen front bumper thread, so I was wondering if we might get a list on the first post listing bumpers that users have confirmed to be working with 2018's with a Pro Grill with TSS. Pictures of it on your taco would also be appreciated. I understand that this may be a short list.... Actually, has anyone got one of these to work without relocating TSS sensor?

    We'll be launching one for early next year. I'd like to have a certain number of set products (Fully designed, built, tested and jigged) before we invest money on a site. We're also still working out logistics for shipping our products down into the states.

    If you look at the pics in the first post, you can get a really good idea if a bumper will block the TSS sensor or not. That will help you at least eliminate options.

    Also, I've been watching the SSO Slimline bumper thread and it's been asked there. Although they can't garentee that it works with the bull bar option (they haven't tested it), but they have said others have ordered it for 2018's and no one has had an issue so far.

    Can't wait for your website then. Do you have someplace in the mean time to look at your products and prices? I didn't find much on Facebook.

    Yeah, would just feel better if one TW member said "I have it and have had no issues for x miles. Here are the pics... " I want to keep the TSS system and don't want to try to explain to the wife when she drives it that "Well, I thought it would work, but you didn't really need TSS anyway" I would never live it down. She already thinks I spend to much money on the Taco as it is....

    LOL, I hear ya on that!

    My wife audibly rolls her eyes every time I modify a new vehicle and she can sure give me an earful when I cause something to get worse...even if it's only for a single ride before I fix it! :rolleyes:

    We have noticed that the sensor goes kind of haywire in extremely bad weather for some of our customers, front bumper or not (we try to keep up on it either way) but have not had any issues with our "hooped" bumpers and the sonar.

    Posted this in another thread but thought it would be good here too for those who are shopping around. I went back and forth between different bumpers and I’m extremely glad I made my final decision and chose Demello. IMO best one out there and fits really nice :thumbsup:
