Light bar on 2022 GXL - will it block radar?

Taking delivery of a new Prado soon.

Wanting to fit a TJM Outback bull bar.

Can I fit a decent sized light bar, Stedi or other, to the bullbar without interfering with the car radar?

Has anyone with current spec car done this, pics would be great

See Page 10 of the Specification manual for the ARB Smartbar and they have the clearance measurements required for their Smartbar. Not sure how it relates to other bars but it will give you a good guide. Google ARB Prado Smartbar and it will come up, go to Page 10. If you still can't work it out reply and I will make the measurements in relation to the central Toyota badge the camera hides behind
Can't help you with a Light bar, I have two old 220mm driving lights mounted on the Smartbar and I have no problems

The radar sensor is in the Toyota Grille badge. You won’t be able to obscure this with a light bar. Most bullbars will work with 9” round driving lights. I have the ARB bar and stedi round lights. Radar cruise functions correctly
