Toyota Land Cruiser 250 (2024–Present) Bash Plate Set – Engine, Transmission, Transfer Case, Fuel Tank & Arms
Maximum Underbody Armour: 5-Piece Protection for Every Critical Component
Combined Weight: 47.8 kg
The all-new Toyota Land Cruiser 250 is Toyota’s most capable off-road wagon to date — but even the best factory protection leaves gaps that Australia’s harshest terrain will find. This RIVAL 4x4 five-piece bash plate set provides bumper-to-diff underbody armour, covering every major drivetrain and suspension component from engine to arms. Whether you’re tackling the legendary Canning Stock Route or navigating rocky ridgelines in Tasmania’s southwest wilderness, this comprehensive protection package lets you explore without reservation.

- ✓ High-Strength Aluminium Construction
- ✓ Precision Fit for Toyota Land Cruiser 250 (2024+)
- ✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish
- ✓ Ventilated Design for Optimal Airflow
- ✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required
- ✓ Cost-Effective Bundle — Significant Savings vs Individual Purchase
What's Protected
- Engine Bash Plate — The LC250’s turbodiesel engine represents a significant investment sitting vulnerably close to the ground. A single rock strike to the sump can end your trip in seconds. This plate provides comprehensive coverage across the engine’s lower surfaces, absorbing impacts from rocks, roots, and debris before they reach the sump or oil filter.
- Transmission Bash Plate — Behind the engine sits the automatic transmission, its aluminium housing exposed to every hazard on the trail. Cracks or dents to the transmission casing cause fluid loss and eventual gearbox failure — a repair bill you don’t want to face in the outback. This plate keeps the gearbox sealed and safe.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — The transfer case is the gateway to your Land Cruiser’s legendary 4WD capability. It splits torque between axles and engages low range — damage here means losing four-wheel drive precisely when terrain demands it. This plate shields the transfer case from direct underbody impacts.
- Fuel Tank Bash Plate — A punctured fuel tank is one of the most dangerous failures you can experience off-road — leaking fuel creates a fire risk and leaves you stranded without the means to reach civilisation. This plate provides a solid barrier between rocks and your fuel tank, protecting both your safety and your range.
- Arms Bash Plate — The lower suspension arms are exposed during off-camber traverses, rock crawling, and deep-rut situations. Bent or damaged arms compromise wheel alignment, steering response, and suspension articulation. This plate deflects lateral impacts away from these critical suspension components.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Savings: At 47.8 kg for five plates, aluminium keeps the total well below what steel equivalents would add — preserving the LC250’s payload capacity for water, fuel, and camping gear.
- Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium’s natural oxide layer provides inherent rust protection — essential for creek crossings, beach driving, and tropical touring in the Top End.
- Energy Management: Aluminium distributes impact energy across the plate surface, reducing concentrated stress on individual mounting points and chassis rails.
- Modern Vehicle Design: The LC250 is engineered with tight weight and CG targets — aluminium protection respects those parameters while adding genuine capability.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Land Cruiser 250 is built for the world’s toughest terrain, and nowhere tests that promise like Australia. From the sharp quartzite of Arkaroola to the submerged boulders on Cape York’s Gunshot Creek, the continent’s geology is a relentless adversary for unprotected underbodies. Add monsoonal flooding in the Top End, salt-laden coastal winds, and the abrasive red sand of the Simpson Desert, and you need protection engineered specifically for these extremes. RIVAL 4x4 bash plates deliver exactly that.
