    I am planning to put a Lund lighted bull bar on my truck.The
    Supplier is telling me it will interfere with my sonar. Is this true and if so is it possible to disable just the front sensors. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I had that issue on my Armada. What I did was remove the inner sensors, mount them in small project boxes, extend the wiring, and mount them to the front of the bull-bar. I'm betting you could do the same thing with yours.

    Bulls bars are "OK", but why Lund? The cheapest one made. You have a very nice 2016 Tundra Platinum. Get a better Bull Bar if you want to go that route. Others will chime in. (Lund...Platinum Tundra= doesn't mix) Quite frankly you would need those front sensors, that Lund will give you pretty much zero protection. I had a Westin Ultimate Bull Bar which provided some protection and I still dumped it as soon as I could.
