Combined Weight: 20 kg
For Land Cruiser 300 owners who want focused protection for the two most critical — and most expensive — drivetrain components, this RIVAL 4x4 two-piece set shields your engine and transmission from the relentless punishment of Australia's off-road tracks. Every stone deflected, every rut absorbed, every stump brushed aside means your LC300's powertrain stays intact and your trip stays on schedule. Precision-engineered to the 300 Series' new-design underbody profile and crafted from deep-stamped 6mm aluminium, this set is the smart choice for touring owners who prioritise drivetrain security without overloading their vehicle.

- ✓ Precision Fit for Toyota Land Cruiser 300 (2021–On)

What's Protected
-
Engine Bash Plate — The LC300's advanced twin-turbo engine represents a significant investment. The sump and lower engine block sit exposed to direct rock strikes, especially on rutted tracks and rocky descents. This plate guards the full underside of the engine bay, absorbing impacts and distributing force across its deep-stamped surface so your powerplant stays damage-free.
-
Transmission Bash Plate — Located directly behind the engine, the 10-speed automatic transmission is vulnerable to debris that passes beneath the vehicle at speed. A single hard impact on the transmission housing can cause leaks, shift issues or complete gearbox failure. This plate provides continuous coverage behind the engine plate, ensuring no gap in your drivetrain's armour.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
-
Weight Savings: At 20 kg for two full-size plates, aluminium keeps the LC300's weight distribution within factory-intended parameters, preserving ride comfort and fuel economy on long tours.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium is immune to rust. Whether you're crossing tidal creeks on the Kimberley coast or driving through tropical rain in Far North Queensland, these plates won't deteriorate over time.
-
Energy Management: Aluminium's natural flex properties absorb and redirect impact energy, offering superior protection compared to rigid steel that can transfer damaging forces to chassis mounting points.
-
Modern Vehicle Compatibility: The LC300 was engineered with significant weight savings over the 200 Series. Aluminium bash plates maintain that advantage rather than adding it back in steel.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Land Cruiser is Australia's ultimate outback vehicle, and it deserves underbody armour that matches its reputation. From the sharp spinifex-covered rocks of the MacDonnell Ranges to the deep ruts of the Gibb River Road after wet season, from tidal creek crossings in the Top End to the bulldust traps of the Plenty Highway — every kilometre off the bitumen tests your vehicle's underbody. RIVAL 4x4's aluminium bash plates are engineered to thrive in these conditions, protecting your LC300's most valuable components year after year.
