Aluminium Transfer Case Underbody Armour — Toyota Land Cruiser 300 (2021–Present)
Weight: 10.8 kg
When you're tackling the dense wilderness of Tasmania, where button grass plains hide ancient tree stumps and hidden drainage channels, your Toyota Land Cruiser 300's transfer case is the beating heart of its formidable 4WD system. This precision component manages torque distribution between axles through Toyota's legendary full-time 4WD system, and damage to its housing means losing the very capability that defines the Land Cruiser. The RIVAL 4x4 Transfer Case Underbody Armour for the LC300 delivers precision-engineered protection for your transfer case — the heart of your 4WD system that splits power between front and rear axles. Crafted from deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this plate protects the component that makes your Land Cruiser unstoppable.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Savings: Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel — essential for the LC300 where every kilogram of protection weight competes with touring gear for GVM capacity.
- Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer. Combined with powder coating, your bash plate won't rust — even after years of salt-air exposure, water crossings, and red-dust trails.
- Energy Absorption: Aluminium's natural flex absorbs and distributes impact energy across the plate rather than transferring sharp jolts directly to the transfer case housing and chassis.
- Modern Vehicle Design: The LC300's advanced multi-terrain select system depends on a healthy transfer case. Aluminium protection preserves this critical component without weight penalties.

Built for Australian Conditions
Land Cruiser 300 owners don't buy these vehicles to stay on sealed roads. From the rock-strewn tracks of the Victorian High Country to the remote desert crossings of the Simpson and beyond, the LC300 is Australia's ultimate touring machine. But every creek bed, every rock shelf, and every hidden stump targets the transfer case housing sitting exposed beneath the vehicle.
RIVAL underbody armour is engineered for these demanding conditions. The deep-stamped construction creates integrated stiffening ribs that provide up to two times the impact resistance of flat-plate designs. The powder coat finish resists UV degradation, salt corrosion, and the relentless red dust that defines serious Australian touring.
Perfect For
- Long-distance outback touring — Canning Stock Route, Tanami Track, Simpson Desert, Cape York
- Coastal driving where salt air accelerates corrosion on exposed drivetrain components
- Station work and rural property access across challenging terrain
- Serious off-road adventures including rock crawling, river crossings, and rutted tracks
- Daily driving with peace of mind knowing your transfer case is protected from road debris and hazards
