Essential Powertrain Protection: Engine & Transmission Bash Plates
Installation Manual
Combined Weight: 22.3 kg
The Toyota Land Cruiser 250 represents a new chapter in off-road excellence, and protecting its powertrain should be your first modification. This RIVAL 4x4 two-piece bash plate set targets the two components most frequently damaged on rough terrain — the engine and transmission. Whether you’re breaking in your new LC250 on the sandy tracks of Fraser Island or testing it against the rocky ridgelines of the Flinders Ranges, these plates deliver peace of mind where it matters most.

What's Protected
-
Engine Bash Plate — The engine is the most expensive single component in your Land Cruiser. Its oil sump hangs low and exposed, making it the first casualty of rock strikes, hidden stumps, and rutted creek beds. This plate covers the engine’s entire lower surface with high-strength aluminium, absorbing impacts and deflecting debris before they can cause damage.
-
Transmission Bash Plate — Directly behind the engine, the transmission casing is equally exposed to trail hazards. A dented or cracked housing causes fluid loss, overheating, and eventually complete gearbox failure. This plate provides continuous coverage from the rear of the engine plate, ensuring your drivetrain is protected in sequence.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
-
Weight Savings: At just 22.3 kg combined, this two-piece set adds minimal weight to your LC250 — keeping your payload available for touring essentials.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium’s self-forming oxide layer means zero rust risk from creek crossings, beach driving, or wet-season touring.
-
Energy Management: Aluminium flexes under impact rather than cracking, distributing force across the plate and protecting mounting points.
-
Modern Vehicle Design: The LC250’s new platform demands weight-conscious accessories — aluminium delivers protection without compromising the factory engineering.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Land Cruiser nameplate has been synonymous with the Australian outback for decades, and the new 250 series continues that legacy. But the terrain hasn’t changed — it’s still the same razor-sharp quartzite, submerged boulders, hidden tree roots, and corrugated bulldust that has always tested vehicles and their owners. Coastal salt, tropical monsoons, and desert heat add corrosive elements that factory protection simply isn’t built to handle long-term. RIVAL 4x4 bash plates are.
