help with installation

[ROCKEY]

Hey guys, I am new to this whole thread thing. I am looking for some feedback on the perfect placement of 3 ALP sensors on a Toyota tundra. I was advised 3 should be enough to cover the entire front however, not so sure it really covers the entire thing. I can't install between the grille as shown in the pic because it's part of the hood. I am thinking about installing them in a little crevice below the hood. My worry is not having coverage on the headlights since they will be installed lower. Any input would be helpful. Thanks :frusty:

I would NOT put them in the bottom of the bumper, There good but not that good LoL, You would need to put them in the upper portion.... if that is NOT an option then i would suggest putting in the lower and get tested right away to be sure.
But i really dont think there going to cover you down there

if the grill is part of the hood...can you run the wires down along the (underside of) hood, down the hinges to the firewall. So opening and closing the hood is an option.

That would be my pick :

Thanks. I thought about it and didn't really want to do it that way but, seems may be my best option. Thanks again, this helps

When YC or BRD sees this thread they'll be able to let you know if the lower position is possible.
But, iirc, the center head needs to be on a higher or lower plane than the other two sensors due to interference issues.
One of RALETC guys or BRD will be along to help shortly I'm sure.

Appreciate the feedback.

I'd be afraid that impact of closing the hood would adversely affect the heads (placement going out of whack overtime)..

I suppose that if you close the hood gently, it shouldn't matter..

X2 the best location.

I would do the following:




The only area of concern being the fog-lights. With that said... the massive front-chrome grill on that thing makes for an attractive target, and I can't see him shooting anything other than CM (and maybe HL if he is a real shooter). Personally, I like the one in the lower grille area (right dead CM by that massive chrome bumper, but thats just me).


Maybe do some testing and fiddle-around with placement of the sensors in the upper-grille (+/- a few grille slots).


To be 100% honest, even though the ALP is exceptional, I would likely run a 4-head set-up towards the "4 corners" (if it were my truck). Now, I know people will be on here saying "That's not needed with the ALPs"... and you'd be right, but for my own, personal, piece of mind... just what I would do.
