Tuff Terrain’s insect screen sits in front of the radiator on Patrol GU Series 2 Mid 2000 to Late 2001 and stops bugs hammering your cooling fins. The 1 mm mesh blocks grasshoppers, seeds and road grit before they plug the core, meaning your Patrol keeps its airflow while you crawl fire trails or haul a camper. The screen also cops the minor stone hits that would otherwise chew at the grille and fins.

The steel mesh goes through zinc plating then powder coat, which keeps rust at bay when you cop wet roads or salty air. The frame uses simple bolt and hook hardware that grabs the grille, making this bit of gear a smart buy for regular country runs. The whole screen comes off in one piece for a rinse, then goes back on before the next trip to keep your setup ready.

Q: Can I use this insect screen with an aftermarket bull bar?

A: The insect screen suits the factory GU Series 2 grille shape. Many bull bars keep the original grille opening, which means the screen still mounts as shown in the instructions. Some replacement front bars may alter the grille or access, which can limit fitment. Check bar design and available mounting points before purchase.

Q: How often should I clean the insect screen on outback trips?

A: Clean the screen whenever insect build-up becomes visible. A loaded mesh surface restricts airflow long before the radiator blocks, which can raise coolant temperatures on slow climbs. A quick hose-down at fuel stops or camps keeps the mesh free. Regular cleaning also stops organic matter holding moisture against the coating.

Q: Will the steel mesh affect airflow to the intercooler or auxiliary coolers?

A: The mesh pattern allows adequate airflow for the specified Patrol models. The small wire diameter maintains open area, which keeps pressure drop across the grille low. Auxiliary coolers behind the grille still receive flow, provided their faces remain clear of debris. If extra gear sits in front of the radiator, monitor temperatures after installation.

Q: Can I leave the insect screen fitted all year round?

A: You can leave the screen in place year-round. The zinc and powder coated mesh handles normal road grime and weather, which suits daily driving and touring. Seasonal insect swarms or country runs benefit from constant protection. If you frequently travel on muddy roads, remove and wash the screen to prevent long-term dirt build-up.

Q: Does the screen require any cutting or modification to the Patrol?

A: The kit does not require drilling into factory panels. Supplied hooks and bolts attach to the grille structure, which keeps the bodywork original. This approach helps future removal or resale. Always follow the printed fitting guide to avoid stressing plastic grille components.
