True words! I have a fan on mine and you can feel the difference when ya turn the fan on after 10-15mins and it's got most if the heat out of the cooler.

I've never been a fan of light bars on top of the bull bar .

just go front mount no heat soak

I don't think this is relevant here as the current Hilux has a front mounted intercooler. It would be interesting to see what affect a bulbar and lights has on it though.

still lot of us with old N70

i built my front mount based on HPD kit done it all my self with intercooler $400 works a treat and i notice it the most on hot days, when old lux felt sluggish after crawling or sitting in traffic, just so happy now wish i did 8 years ago

OK so why did everyone laugh when I posted the dangers with airflow to the intercooler?? Light bars and such...

well then you got a front mount, toyota get it right sometimes, and i didn't read heading

Even with a front mount what about bar lights winch all blocking air flow ?...

Just a couple of cents worth on blocking that intercooler on the 200 series. Looking closely at that bar in front of the air intakes for the intercooler you can see it has cable ties holding a plastic mesh, shade cloth, or may be fly wire of some kind blocking most of the air intake area ,bet the engine cooling system is also working double time to keep engine temperature at normal operation. On todays engines with intercooler, air con, radiator all requiring as much air as they can get putting any kind of obstruction over the grill is just asking for trouble (BLOODY MESH ) just forget it, might need it to keep out grass hoppers out but you still have to clean it. In this particular case simply removing the mesh will solve 90% of the problem, granted the bar is a bit low but it is round & would only have minimum effect on air flow.
cheers.
