    Has anyone put a bull bar on a Tacoma with radar cruise control sensor behind the Toyota logo on the front grill?

    Most bull bars don't sit high enough to block the radar. The Toyota emblem is the radar for reference.

    OK, what about if you change out your grille and go to a PRO Grill, what then you can't install a bull bar, would it interfere with the Toyota safety sense then?

    Just depends on how high the hoop is. Mine doesn't interfere with the front camera or TSS at all.

    Obviously, yours doesn't at all. I'm looking at installing the GO Rhino RC# LR Skid Plate Bull Bar

    I thought bull bar referred to the hoop?

    It does, but here is a better explanation:
    A bullbar or push bumper (also (kanga)roo bar, winch bar or nudge bar in Australia, moose bumper in Canada, livestock stop (initially a term used to refer to locomotive pilots) or kangaroo device in Russia, and push bar, ram bar, brush guard, grille guard, rammer, PIT bar, PIT bumper, or cattle pusher in the United States) is a device installed on the front of a vehicle to protect its front from collisions, whether an accidental collision with a large animal in rural roads, or an intentional collision by police with another vehicle. They range considerably in size and form, and are normally composed of welded steel or aluminium tubing, or, more recently, moulded polycarbonate and polyethylene materials. The "bull" in the name refers to cattle, which in rural areas sometimes roam onto rural roads and highways.
