My 1996 Prado KZJ95 (90 Series)

The bonet one might create halos and blinding brightness in the line of sight. Suggested to try mockup at night before finalizing.

Very valid point. I am on the phone now. If it is set up properly it should work well. Saw examples online of the brackets for the installation on the hood.

what say?

[tareen]

The science of light / vision is, greater the angle between light source and eyes with object being pivot, better is the reflective details of the object.

[hayzin]

So i went with my gut instinct and after some testing, we decided to install the LED bar on the hood.

[hayzin]

happy with the result. Moving on to the next phase...big thanks to NUIC RYD for the installation.

[tareen]

Its not blending with the rest of the vehicle. Just an observation.

intercooler without scoop on hood :-#

[tareen]

What are these?

I guess, feeding scoops to the ceiling duct under the bonnet!

Light bar on the Hood but nothing on Bullbar thats just wrong, Find something to Fill the space as well LoL

[hayzin]

@tareen Yes you are correct. These scoops are for air ventilation and circulation. Stock feature. As for the blending in, I am quite happy with the result. I am hunting for wider tyres to compliement the overall visual. Not to keen on MT's this time although they were perfect for the Hilux Tiger.

BFG AT's have a good tread but the size is an issue. Currently I am running an almost new set of Yokohama Geolander AT-S sized 265-70-16. Wider tyres would mean compromising the turning radius. Still on the fence about it though, lets see.

@qwertypoiu Original plan was to install fog lights on the bullbar but after placing them on yesterday, the plan now is to go with a smaller LED bar to maintain the overall theme and consistency. Perhaps a 7/9 inch led bar.

Also when we do our Islamabad Jeep Club fun offroad antics, it always safer to not install an expensive light on the bullbar just incase it gets damaged. Also you never know when on the road, anything can happen

Adding wheel spacers will get that wider - beefier stance without spending a hundred thousand on rubber when its good already.

[hayzin]

@tareen Spacers are a consideration definitely. If nothing else comes up, then spacers it is. Usually there are steel spacers and the better option is aluminum spacers. I will wait for a while. We have a IJC Summer Camp 2 coming up on 26th August Inshallah, we plan to go to Deosai and a few surrounding areas. Will pick this up after that. Thank you for your support and suggestions Tareen bhai.

Do you still have the FJ40? Or is there a new monster in the making?

[tareen]

Lovely plan. All the best.

Both FJ40s gone. I have an all-rounder Navara these days. It cannot take serious off-roading due to low ground clearance and fancy bodywork but a great multipurpose tourer indeed.
