Hi team,

just a quick one, do toyota or an aftermarket company make a protective mesh grill for the n80?
I know they had one for the 120 Prado so I was hoping someone else out there thought it was a good idea.

Cheers!

Just get a mesh from bunnings and install it. You can probably further modify it with eyelets and zip tie it to the frame. I'd seek for a metal mesh as the PVC one might get on fire if the radiator gets too hot.

It does certainly have effect for prolonging your radiator lifespan - I've seen it stops small flies and even small stones

I bought some security flywire in stainless and put it inside the grill. Much better job and invisible from the outside. It stops stones and mulches the insects so they go through the radiator.

You might get lucky as they are made for mine vehicles in the industry they are generally called “radiator insect screens” just got to google and ask a few people. Through ARB seen them for rangers but don’t recall seeing them for Hilux but worth asking.

But in all honesty yes those I have fit look pretty but you get more protection from a fly mesh (alloy as others have said) as you can fit it to protect the radiator completely not just the air coming through the top grill as most air comes from lower and through bullbars if you have them fitted. And no one makes screens for there
