the top section is metal yeah? u could weld on a section of sheet metal to fill that gap, filler and sand, prime paint.

i have thought that but i would like to go chrome though

this is a 02 model[attachmentid=352403]

if u want it cromed you could get it lead filled instead of body filler ?

You dont chrome over led, you get the metal coated in copper, then file that. Too much stuffing around imo, but if you want it done then you will have to do it.

so i take that as, they dont make 1 without the gap
i will just get a crome 1 with the gap n just put up with it, sa

a friend has that model bar and the just mounted up a piece of polished stailess to fill the gap .. wasnt perfect but looks much better then a huge ass hole IMO

can u get genuine chrome ones from toyota ive had a look on ebay but they r all pickup only

even the genine ones will have a gap. Just section the brackets and bring it in closer to the rad support. Not very hard

if i move it closer means the wheel arches wont line up with the bar, so i dont no might just a genuine one and glue a piece of stainles up underneath
