Grill Guard/Bull bar Options

I'd really like to find a grill guard for my 3rd gen, however I have not see anything compatible on the market so far. I know CBI and C4 make bumpers, however they're all well beyond my allocated budget and needed capability (I don't plan to offroad my tundra other than the dirt road that I live off).

I found these options:

https://www.amazon.com/TAC-Compatible-2022-2023-Texture-Accessories/dp/B0B91Z3BR6

https://www.amazon.com/TAC-Modular-...=&hvlocphy=9013277&hvtargid=pla-1890409379662

However, both of these will block my factory fog lights, airdam, camera and sensors. I'm also not necessarily trying to go super cheap as I don't want quality to suffer. But would be nice to have a sub 600 dollar option that is compatible with both factory foglights and airdam.

 

ARMORDILLO AR-T SERIES BULL BAR has a place to re-mount the front sensors. I am still trying to find out if it screws up front cameras. And do not know what else my be needed for the Radar cruise control , lane keeping assist etc. I paid extra for these safety features and want them to still work.

 

I don't see a bull bar available on their site for 3rd gen. Where do you see it?

 

Has anyone purchased & installed one of these yet: https://www.ranchhand.com/grille-guard-ggt22hbl1.html ?

I'm considering it. ranch hand says it's compatible with all the accessories on the front of the truck. Main thing stopping me is the aesthetic - i'd like to see more examples. If anyone got one of these, please post pics.

Here is a pic I found in the install guide:

 

thanks for the pic. ive been wondering what it looked like on the truck. i had only see pics of the guard. id be curious if i could put that on over the CBI covert bumper.

 

That would be a slick combo. I sent you the install manual, they have some detailed photos. You might be able to see whether it's compatible or not.

 

thanks for the manual. unfortunately looking at that i dont think theyre going to be compatible. looking at the one picture i thought it mounted differently. but it would have been cool

 

Westin makes some nice products. We use them on our work trucks.

I put a bull bar on my 2023 and the brackets block the auto air dam , is that going to be a problem? Does anyone know?

 

Found out the hard way that with the active front air dam/spoiler the bar brackets will not allow it to deploy. Tried a TrailFX B0044T but had no idea this spoiler was on the truck. It can't be removed without throwing codes. Oddly enough it is disabled while towing and using the 7 pin wiring harness plug because it adversely affects fuel mileage. Putting a dummy plug in the socket wouldn't likely work either as the system would have to sense a completed circuit to function. Not sure if these are on all 3rd gen Tundra trucks but my owners manual has the instructions on how to manually deploy it for maintenance/inspection and doesn't have the usual caviot with asterisks of "if equipped".

 

I took mine off, leave the bracket that makes it deploy and as long as it clears the bar it goes down and everything is fine… no more codes, computer thinks it is on and working..
