  • Will a Bullbar for Grande pull front end down?

    Hi guys,

    Loving my 05 120 so far, installed a Bluetooth module into the SatNav unit that acts as if it is an external cd stacker, so can use track controls and has calls capability without having to replace the head unit. Link Here

    One of the next things ill be looking at is a Bullbar, however as its the Grande i'm a bit worried about the front end being pulled down by the weight of a bar, as the Grande has different suspension system not sure what my options are. Any advice would be sweet.



    Cheers,
    Cam

        I’m just wary about touching the Grande suspension. If I did end up getting a bar would have to make front springs a must

          HD springs will be too firm if all you're putting in the front is a bar. If you were adding a winch and dual battery system then perhaps a firmer coil would be required. The Grande still only has the airbags in the rear, not up front so other than the TEMS shocks (which have the actuators on the shocks to change the firmness of the ride e.g. comfort-normal-sport) it will be the same as a standard Prado. (just not as good )

            Any normal 120 Prado aftermarket spring will fit the Grande. If only fitting a steel bullbar, look at the King KTFS-101. Will lift it back up to almost factory height.

              Yeah if I got a bar that would be it, wouldn't be fitting a winch, and instead of a dual battery ill most likely buy a portable one that will sit in the back.
              Will check out the King KTFS-101's!

              I do like the stock look without a bar, and at the moment not doing nearly enough country driving to justify buying one, but see how we go haha

                  thanks for the offer mate, but not in a rush to buy the bar probably a good 3-4 months off and would only buy the springs once I had the bar sorted.

                      no problems, will definitely revive this thread when I start having a good look for a bar
