Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (2007–2021) Bash Plate Set – Engine & Transfer Case
Combined Weight: 21.0 kg
The Toyota Land Cruiser 200 series is arguably Australia’s most trusted long-range touring platform, with thousands still running the outback circuit from Cape York to the Kimberley year after year. But even the mighty 200 series can’t shrug off a direct rock strike to the engine sump or transfer case. This RIVAL 4x4 two-piece bash plate set protects the two components that keep your Land Cruiser moving and in four-wheel drive — because out here, losing either one means you’re not going anywhere.

What's Protected
-
Engine Bash Plate — The LC200’s V8 diesel or petrol engine is an expensive and irreplaceable heart. Its oil sump sits low beneath the chassis, directly in the path of rocks, roots, and debris on uneven terrain. A punctured sump means immediate oil loss and engine seizure within minutes. This plate provides complete coverage across the engine’s lower surface, absorbing and deflecting impacts before they reach critical components.
-
Transfer Case Bash Plate — The transfer case is what makes your 200 series a proper four-wheel drive. It distributes power between front and rear axles and engages low range for serious off-roading. Damage to the transfer case disables your 4WD system at the worst possible time. This plate shields the transfer case housing from underbody strikes, preserving full drivetrain functionality when the terrain gets tough.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
-
Weight Savings: At 21.0 kg combined, aluminium keeps the weight penalty minimal — critical for 200 series owners already running heavy touring setups near GVM limits.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium doesn’t rust, even after years of creek crossings, coastal driving, and wet-season touring through the Top End.
-
Energy Management: Aluminium absorbs impact energy by flexing rather than cracking, protecting both the plate and chassis mounting points under heavy hits.
-
Modern Vehicle Design: The 200 series’ weight capacity is well-defined — aluminium bash plates add protection without pushing you toward overloading.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Land Cruiser 200 has spent nearly fifteen years proving itself across every corner of Australia — from the red centre to the tropical north, from coastal cliffs to alpine trails. The terrain it encounters is brutal: sharp limestone on the Nullarbor, volcanic basalt in western Victoria, granite creek beds across the Top End, and endless corrugations on every outback highway. RIVAL 4x4 bash plates are engineered to match the 200 series’ legendary durability, providing underbody protection that’s as tough as the vehicle it’s bolted to.
