I am just wondering if anyone can tell me how to tell the difference between flared and non flared Prado 120 models?
Photo attached if that helps..

Thank you! They look exactly the same to me :S
Looking at a TJM bullbar which is for non-flared models..it won't look too ridiculous on a flared would it?

ah yep the non-flared are 2008/2009 and sometimes have the black handles?
Thanks for your help!

It won't look right. Best to get a flared bullbar for flared models.

I've got a bulbar suitable for flared prados on my non flared gx. The good thing is with the non flared prados they still have a small flare so its not too bad, some vehicles have nothing at all

I don't think the non flared models were still being sold in 08/09, I think the last of them were 2006 ish.

Black plastic bumpers and narrow steel wheels are a sure sign of a non flared. Also it will be badged GX. The GXL, VX and Grande all had flares.

The non flared model appear first in the 120 series as the base model GX, when the 120 received the D4D motor in 2007 model the GX received the flares etc and a lower spec model was introduced called the Standard which was 5 seater only, yes they usually had the black trims , [I think ] if the Standard had the option pack and then it also received a colour door handles and chrome grill . Love the base models

At the end of the pre update model run the GX was sold as the GX Limited and ran flares and the 17x7.5 steel wheels. The facelift GX had flares and the same wheels but the Standard wagon ran the razor blades and was flareless.

Edit: missed it by that much!

Mine is '06 GX, and has flares - and I got the matching TJM T13 bullbar for it. My rims are the 17x7.5, and is the 8 seater.

Actually DOM is 11/06 according to the plate - but could have been sold as an '07.
