Backwoods Adventure 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner TSS Relocation Bracket - BWTR5A-9695

Backwoods Adventure 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner TSS Relocation Bracket - BWTR5A-9695

This is a stainless steel bracket that relocates your factory Toyota Safety Sense to avoid interference while using our bumper. This is only needed if your 4Runner has a factory installed forward facing camera, most commonly found on newer 5th gen 4Runner models. If you do not have this front camera, our bumper is perfectly compatible with the factory TSS as is, meaning you do not need this relocation bracket. 

What our Experts Think  

• Essential sensor correction for aftermarket bumpers: The Backwoods Adventure 5th Gen Toyota 4Runner TSS Relocation Bracket (BWTR5A-9695) is widely regarded as a necessary supporting component when installing compatible aftermarket front bumpers on equipped 4Runners, ensuring Toyota Safety Sense continues to function properly.
• Maintains radar + camera alignment: Experts highlight its primary role—repositioning the forward-facing Toyota Safety Sense sensor so adaptive cruise control and collision-avoidance systems remain accurate after bumper upgrades.
• Vehicle-specific fitment (5th Gen 4Runner 2010–2024): Designed specifically for 5th Gen models, it addresses interference issues common on newer trims with factory forward-facing cameras.
• Durable stainless steel construction: Built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, it’s intended for long-term outdoor exposure without rust or structural degradation, even in harsh off-road conditions.
• Only required in specific setups: Experts note it is not always necessary—vehicles without the factory forward-facing camera or certain bumper configurations may not require relocation at all.
• Compatibility limitation to be aware of: It does not work with all bumper styles (notably some prerunner configurations), so it’s typically paired only with compatible Backwoods bumper systems.

Maintenance Tips

• Minimal maintenance required: Stainless steel construction resists rust, but still rinse after mud, salt, or coastal driving.
• Bolt inspection: Check mounting bolts every 2–4 weeks, especially after installing a front bumper or off-road impacts.
• Sensor alignment check: Ensure Toyota Safety Sense camera/radar remains properly positioned and unobstructed after installation.
• Vibration check: Look for bracket movement or looseness if warning lights or calibration issues appear.
• Clean sensor area: Keep the forward-facing camera/radar zone free of dirt, bugs, and trail debris for accurate operation.
• No coating needed: Ships raw stainless, so avoid unnecessary painting or coatings that could affect fitment.
• Post-install verification: After any bumper contact or recovery event, confirm TSS functionality and recalibration status.
