The LC200's engine bay is substantial — housing either the 4.6L V8 petrol or the twin-turbo 4.5L V8 diesel — and requires two-part protection for complete coverage. The RIVAL 4x4 Engine (Part 1) Bash Plate covers the front section of your engine sump — the first line of defence against rocks and debris striking from below. Crafted from deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this 11.5 kg plate is the foundation of your LC200's underbody protection system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength 6mm Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit — Vehicle-Specific Design for Toyota LC200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Front Engine Sump Coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Airflow \u0026amp; Debris Drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm Deep-Stamped High-Strength Aluminium Alloy (5251 grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textured Matte Black Polymer Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series (2007-2021)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Aluminium Over Steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Savings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel — essential for the LC200 where every accessory adds to an already substantial kerb weight and challenges GVM limits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer.
