I have the same light bar on my FJ. Love it but I didn't do the install and the lower grill was removed. Would you mind sharing how you still have yours in?
I removed it, and after seeing exactly where the brackets would penetrate, I made notches for the brackets to go through and then reinstalled it.

Re: Dakar Bar Stock Headlight Obstruction Fix

You didn't have to modify the coweling portion of that grill? By the way, your FJ is a thing of beauty.

Thanks Lizard

No, I did not. I actually took a pair of aviator snips (my weapon of choice for cutting so many things ) and if I remember right, I basically just cut the plastic grating to the very outside of each end. Let me see if I can make a quick sketch. Give me a minute.

Re: Dakar Bar Stock Headlight Obstruction Fix

Ok, please forgive my lack of artistic ability, but this is right where it needed to be cut.

Re: Dakar Bar Stock Headlight Obstruction Fix

Are you kidding me? Can I just call you Vincent Van Gogh? Thanks. I'll have to replace my grill before I take a bird to the radiator. I was just gong to throw some fogs there to deflect ....stuff.
Madison just had a 100+ care pile up last week due to some bad fog. Although I think driving 65 mph in 100ft visibility was the true culpret. I was thinking........"two birds with one stone...so to speak.

Nice. Yeah, we get some serious fog down here, too.
