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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Complete Drivetrain Protection — Engine, Transmission \u0026amp; Transfer Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength 6mm Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit for Toyota Land Cruiser 300 (2021–On)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Optimal Airflow \u0026amp; Cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Cost-Effective Bundle — Save vs Buying Individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Protected\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransfer Case Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombined Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textured matte black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or permanent modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Plates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 (Engine + Transmission + Transfer Case)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series (2021–On) — all variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Aluminium Over Steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Savings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium delivers approximately 40% weight savings over steel.
