radiator screen

Has anyone made a screen for the radiator, protecting it from bugs and stones. Have any ideas? Is this good or bad for a Tacoma? Thanks

I think you could just use a fine mesh and mount it in front of your radiator. Just don't let it touch and make sure the air flows good through it.

 

Here's mine. Glad I have something. Winter front and screen for Summer. 30 year old FIA brand I bought for my "NEW" 1984 Nissan 720 2wd gas that I never put on.

 

Been adding bug screens over radiators for years because of love bug season in Florida and grass seed associated with my occupation. It will make a difference if you are getting over heating problems but take the time to use air or water to clean the screen on a regular basis.

 

The condenser is mounted in front of the radiator.

 

And do not EVER use a pressure washer to blow in from behind to clean the rad.

It'll bend the fins over just as quick as a 10 year old's fingers.
