airflow and lightbar positioning

Hi,
One of the members here (AJ120 or AMTS i think) inspired me with a light bar somwhere in the bar. I got a 22" lightbar I want to fit but not sure if it will affect airflow to radiator. I want to fit it where the licence plate is on the photo attached.
um, i think I just answered my own question.

If the pic is of your prado sans bulbar, you could consider buying a cross bar for your roof rails.

Then mounting your lightbar on this as fwd as possible - quite a few off-roaders mount their lightbar on front of a roof rack.

BTW you could run the wires up the groove in the seal LHS of the windscreen. That's how my solar panel wiring is run up to the Anderson plug connection for to the roof rack.

Not my prado, though same. Ive only got a 22" bar, which fits in the litle grill, kind of looks stock, hence why i like it.
I like th prado looking nice and boring, helps me not spend money on stuff. The Jeep was a money pit.
