TJM Bullbar - panel damage

[kjp Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close kjp]

I've just added a TJM T13 bar and have discovered it is hitting the bottom of the insert panels and chipping the paint. I've only been driving on the tarmac at present, but am dreading what could happen when a bit of corrugation appears in the near future. Has anyone else ahd a similar problem.

its a common thing with any bar on a Prado, you need to take it back to where it was fitted ASAP and have the gap between the bar and body adjusted to along room for the body to flex, mine is set at around 25mm as per the instructions.

That is timely. Mine goes on next week so I shall make sure that it is correct.

Have spoken to TJM today and they are replacing the panels so hope all will be ok.
