    I would return it. Those are just for looks anyway. They offer no real protection.

    Installing an ugly, worthless modification which then disables a legitimate safety mechanism. No bueno.

    Rip that shit off and put it in the recycling bin... if they'll even take it.

    It'll be tough to resolve your bull bar sensor issue and possibly more trouble than it's worth. If you really want to keep that accessory, you could talk to a fabricator and have him remove the front valence and part of the bumper cover so the attachment can be repositioned and moved up. This should allow the bull bar to clear the sensor. Good Luck!

    Buddy of mine just had the same issue with the bull bar he had put on his new 2020 from his old 2018 T4R - he ended up putting it up for sale on Craigslist and putting the $$ towards a low-profile steel bumper. The low-pro bumpers (or even a behind-the-grille light mount if you're just looking to mount a light bar) are far better option, as you're going to spend $$ and time trying to get the top bar removed so it doesn't block the TSS radar sensor. I'd return it if you can. I've seen the bull bars also do pricey damage to front bumper covers, radiators, etc. in even a *minor* front collision.

    You can get a pretty robust look without a bull bar. Here’s the bumper I recently installed for my winch, which you can barely see tucked away in there.

    Just ordered the SSO's Slimline Low Pro front winch bumper with the bull bar that's TSS compatible. Agree with comments above, get rid of the bumper and buy one with at least winch capability if you're using it for offroad fun.

    Nice. I also recently put a Factor 55 flatlink on mine and it is the bomb. I'm seeking another used one now for my other truck (my wife's DD); I had no idea how much I'd like the flatlink until I played with it.

    I also love the look of "just a little Warn " peeking out of the grille. A subtle hint of badassery...derp'd emblems and bolt on garbage hold no candle to function!

    Flatlink not shown... rope zipped to the grille while it was on order...

    Chop off the whole top part that's blocking the radar. Problem solved.
