    Dang man you bought the one version of the bumper that is not compatible with the TSS... Wish more people would have told you that but it looks like everyone was very excited to share their opinion on no bull bar vs high. Not many mentions of the low bull bar option (Since it says on C4's website it does not work with TSS)

    C4 has a solution for you though!

    Edit: On the second look I'm not sure if this will work with you setup. If you have the front camera, the low bull bar will block the camera along with the TSS sensor. If you don't have a camera then this solution might work? But I'd call C4 and ask first.

    Mine is smooth. No bumps. Ladies please take note.

    I'm confused why you said the TSS doesn't matter for you, I have a 5th gen TRD off road as well but im seeing that the mid height bull bar does block the sensor, am I wrong? Just ordered and have been trying to figure it out
