Toyota Land Cruiser 300 (2021–On) Bash Plate Set — Engine, Transmission & Transfer Case | New Design
Combined Weight: 29 kg
The Toyota Land Cruiser 300 is the pinnacle of off-road touring capability, and protecting its drivetrain should be a priority from day one. Whether you're tackling the Old Telegraph Track north of the Daintree or crossing remote desert country on the Oodnadatta Track, the LC300's engine, transmission and transfer case face constant exposure to rocks, ruts and trail debris that can cause catastrophic damage. This RIVAL 4x4 New Design three-piece bash plate set delivers comprehensive drivetrain protection, precision-engineered to the LC300's updated underbody geometry. At 29 kg combined, it's a serious shield that won't compromise the Cruiser's legendary ride and handling balance.

What's Protected
- Engine Bash Plate — The LC300's twin-turbo V6 diesel or twin-turbo V6 petrol engine is a sophisticated and expensive powerplant. The engine sump sits low and vulnerable to direct rock strikes on rough terrain. This plate provides full-coverage protection for the sump and lower block, deflecting impacts from rocks, stumps and trail hazards before they can crack castings or damage oil lines.
- Transmission Bash Plate — The 10-speed automatic transmission is a precision unit that doesn't respond well to blunt-force impacts. Sitting directly behind the engine, it's exposed to any debris that makes it past the front plate. This dedicated transmission plate guards the gearbox housing, fluid lines and shift linkage from underbody strikes that could leave you stranded without gears.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — The heart of the LC300's full-time 4WD system, the transfer case distributes torque between front and rear axles and engages low range. Damage to the transfer case means no four-wheel drive — a potentially dangerous situation in remote off-road conditions. This plate shields the transfer case housing and output shafts from rocks and ruts.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Savings: Aluminium delivers approximately 40% weight savings over steel. On a vehicle as capable as the LC300, keeping weight down preserves suspension travel, braking performance and fuel economy on long touring trips.
- Corrosion Resistance: The LC300 is built to last decades. Aluminium bash plates won't rust, ensuring your underbody protection lasts as long as the vehicle itself — even in coastal and tropical environments.
- Energy Management: Aluminium absorbs and dissipates impact energy progressively, cushioning vulnerable components from the sharp jolts of rock strikes rather than transmitting force directly through rigid mounts.
- Modern Vehicle Compatibility: Toyota designed the LC300 with weight reduction as a key engineering goal. Aluminium protection complements this philosophy, maintaining the vehicle's engineered balance.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Land Cruiser 300 was born for Australia's most challenging landscapes, and its underbody protection should match that ambition. From the jagged quartzite of the Flinders Ranges to Cape York's notorious creek crossings, from the red sand of the Simpson Desert to the tropical mud of Kakadu's floodplains — the LC300's drivetrain faces relentless punishment. RIVAL 4x4's aluminium plates are engineered to take the hits so your engine, transmission and transfer case don't have to, season after season, track after track.
