    Hello all this is mainly for newbies or for someone that did not know about calibrations needed if certain modification are done on our truck
    I just wanted to share a word of caution to people that may not be aware of the technology in the trucks today. The new trucks have safety features on now which is effecting our upgrades or modifications we do, you can still upgrade or mod but there is a price to pay. The following safety items need to be considered before you attempt to do any modification or upgrades on our trucks today
    (TSS-P) Toyota Safety Sense P
    (PCS w/PD) Pre-Collision System35 with Pedestrian Detection45
    (LDA) Lane Departure Alert / with Sway Warning System (SWS)
    (AHB) Automatic High Beams (AHB)
    (DRCC) Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
    The caution with the safety items when trying to upgrade or modify our trucks (as changing tires, raising truck, changing grills, ects) these safety items have to be recalibrated or modified depending on upgrades to work or you will have error codes showing up. A lot of the calibration that's needed consist of a ( flat floor, certain size area, controlled lighting, a laser and techstream), a lot of us may not have any of the resources to the tools needed so be aware before starting the mod and do homework first.
