More mode, I’ll be broke soon!

*more mods, I’ll be broke soon!!*

I am in absolutely no rush to get this following items done. Builds take time and takes a lot of money as you all know. I want to make a plan for my truck and when the money becomes available for me personally, I have everything researched out and ready to purchase. Now, for what I have in question and want to get more of my questions answered before I make the purchases and have regrets/second thoughts:


-2"-3" lift kit

with this, I would like to see what you guys already have and how you like it. She is completely stock height right now but I want to give her a little raise specifically for aesthetics and making purpose for my side steps a little more because I am already tall and don't even need to use them to get in (I understand I still really won't NEED them to get in to my truck with a 2"-3" lift but it just makes the allusion that I do lol). This is STRICTLY for looks. I do not take her on the serious trails anymore really due to multiple flat tires from nails and scratches from trees and tighter trails. She is strictly my daily driver to college/work/normal life. What brand do you have? I’ve heard some good things about Rough Country. What height is yours? Where did you get it? How much was it? How was the install, easy, hard, how many hours? Did you have any hiccups throughout the installation period? If so, how did you fix it? Pictures would also help!! Also keep in mind that I’m located in western Canada and not wanting to sell my kidney for shipping costs from the states.


-TRD Pro Grille with TSS garnish and front camera

I have heard a few people complain about the lane departure system and front camera (parking sensor) not working properly after installing the TRD Pro grille on their 2021 TRD Off-Road. What's your experience with this? Have you had any malfunctions? If so, what fixed it? Where did you get it? I would extremely prefer to get it from Canada and would only really look at getting one from America as an absolute last resort. How much was it? Did it come with the raptor lights? If not, where did you get your raptor lights? How much was the raptor lights? Pictures would also help!!


Thanks everyone again for the awesome feedback!

 

I think something that gets messed up when people do the grille swap is they are doing other mods as well that adjust the rake/squat of their truck and that fucks with the TSS. Bad detection when passing a semi on the highway during a curve, it would detect the semi in my lane and press the brakes.

I had about a 2" lift with a 1" squat on my truck and the TSS still worked, but it was very finnicky. Now that I'm back on a 2.5" lift with a 1.5" rake the TSS is back to acting like normal.

So really if you do the install correctly and you have a rake instead of a squat you should be fine.

 

I’m running OME front springs, OME nitro charger sport shocks and dobinsons rear leafs. 2” lift, I love it.
Had it installed at a local off-road shop.

I would avoid rough country.

Regarding the TSS, I have no clue as I’m running stock grille.

GL!

 

Why do you say to avoid rough country? I loved the feedback!! Thank you!!

 

OP lots of great kits out there. Enjoy the ride

 

You are best asking these guys where they got there stuff. Stuff from the states/ vendors we are going to recommend either don't ship to the great white north or charge and arm and a testicle to get it there.
