Tuff Terrain’s insect screen sits in front of the radiator on GU Patrols from 1997 to mid 2000, blocking bugs and rubbish before they choke the fins. The steel mesh stretches across the grille opening, meaning stones, moths and grass seeds hit the screen first instead of your cooling core. The setup keeps airflow moving while you get out there and tackle long highway runs or dusty tracks. Clip-on fittings let you pull the screen off to hose it out.

The 1 mm steel mesh feels built tough for day-in, day-out touring, as the wire gauge shrugs off small stones and constant wind pressure. Zinc plating covers the mesh surface which slows down rust when the gear cops road spray or red dust. A powder coat finish sits over the zinc to give extra chip resistance and long service life. Supplied bolts and hooks clamp to the grille, keeping the factory panels intact.

Q: How often should I remove and clean the insect screen?

A: You should remove and clean the insect screen whenever the mesh shows visible build-up. Heavy bug swarms or grass seeds can pack the mesh quite fast on country runs. A quick hose or brush clears the airflow path again. Regular checks before long trips help keep coolant temperatures stable.

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

A: You can use the screen if the bull bar does not obstruct the factory grille mounting points. The screen hooks and bolts rely on access to the original grille bars. If the bar covers or replaces these bars, fitment may not work. Check clearances behind the bar before purchase or fitting.

Q: Does the steel mesh affect engine cooling in winter or around town?

A: The mesh design aims to maintain adequate airflow for normal driving. The open pattern still lets a large volume of air reach the radiator face. Insects and seeds hit the wire strands instead of blocking the fins directly. Drivers should still keep the mesh clean to avoid any unnecessary restriction.

Q: Can the screen stay on during pressure washing of the vehicle front?

A: The screen can stay on during light pressure washing at sensible distances. High-pressure jets held close to the mesh may bend wires or stress fittings. A wider spray pattern works better for rinsing dust and insects away. For a deep clean of the grille and radiator, remove the screen first.
