LC250 —— the Front Grill Bug Screen

Do you not have the ability to edit out the duplicate pics?

If you are unable to edit your post, If you'd like I can delete the duplicate pics.
Thanks, I just tried to edit/delete the duplicate photos from my phone and ipad. I could share, save, or copy. Possibly from a PC but I don’t have one. If you would edit them there are 8 photos in all.
Thanks much appreciated

Done, please verify I didn't omit one you wanted to include (I slightly made them smaller so as to reduce the length of your post).

Perfect, I just checked, got what’s needed and the 70 duplicates are gone…LOL. Thank you, I appreciate your time.
 
当然可以,感谢您的积极配合。安装相对容易,产品材质也很好。图片如下。两侧的气压杆都超出安装支架孔约 1/4 英寸,看起来没问题。请您指点一下,谢谢。

Both ball joints go on the inside. Also, try having the thinner end facing up. Give it a shot!

I will make the recommend changes and report back. Thank you.
Ok, made the recommended changes..rod end up and ball joint inserted from inside of the brackets. Definitely made closing the hood smoother, no felt compression at the last inch of closing. And the opening does not pop nearly as hard. The binding that was felt is no longer. Seems to have resolved the issues. Thank you.
I took photos of the angle of the gas struts with the hood full open and nearly closed, is this typical?

@Roboman does mounting that upper hood opener bracket require drilling holes into the hood support metal?
It does not, there are factory holes in the hood support material there not being used. It does require 2 rivet nuts per side. This was my first experience installing rivet nuts, and that was easy. Total install time was 1.5 hours.

Both top and bottom are ball joints, so installing it this way won't affect its use.
 
No offense, but if the gas cylinder is hitting something and flipping it clears the obstruction..........
 
@plomor_mods do you have an estimate on when your revised bug screen design for the U.S. LC will be available?
We've been working on this for a while now, and we expect to have a solution by the end of next month.
 
In your photo, the lower screen is shown upside down, correct? The unscreened notch for the camera is on the bottom on the vehicle. See posts #14 and #15 above.

Is this new version installed without needing to get behind the grills?

Is this new version available for purchase yet? If so, what is the delivery time to the eastern U.S.?

You're absolutely right—the lower screen was upside down in that photo.

Installation: It’s a direct installation from the front
Availability: Yes, it’s available now!
Shipping: About 10 days.
 
I just received the new version of the Plomor bug screens for the Land Cruiser 250. I understand that the design was changed to better fit U.S. models of the Land Cruiser. At first, I had some difficulty getting the lower screen positioned correctly. I was about to give up. But by reaching in and applying upward pressure on the bottom of the folded tabs about an inch in from the end of the tabs (not just pressing up on the end of the tabs), I was able to get the tabs seated properly and the screen inserted correctly.

I am very pleased with the installed bug screens. I had some rodent activity behind the bottom grill and am hoping these will help prevent that.

I highly recommend the Plomor bug screens for the Land Cruiser 250.

Ordering this bug screen from Plomor was straight forward - delivered in a couple of weeks

Easy install -no tools - no need to remove the License plate - just snaps on
Tested for a quick 5 min drive - already filtering the bugs out :)

Next is the highway - noise test - followed by the touchless car wash test

Is the grill screen universal fit or is there a US versus European version? Thank you!
