Both components sit exposed beneath the vehicle, d\u003cimg\u003eirectly in the path of rocks, ruts, and debris on the kind of tracks the LC300 was built to handle. This RIVAL 4x4 two-plate aluminium bash plate set covers the engine and transmission with seamless, front-to-back underbody armour, precision-engineered to the 300 Series' new-design underbody profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach plate is deep-stamped from 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy with a textured matte black powder coat finish, and bolts directly to factory mounting points with no drilling and no permanent modifications. At a combined weight of just 20 kg, the set keeps the LC300's weight distribution within factory-intended parameters — preserving ride comfort and fuel economy on long tours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Protected\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — The LC300's advanced twin-turbo engine is a significant investment. The sump and lower engine block sit exposed to direct rock strikes 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — Sitting directly behind the engine, the 10-speed automatic transmission is vulnerable to debris that passes beneath the vehicle at speed. A single hard impact can cause leaks, shift issues, or complete gearbox failure. This plate provides continuous coverage behind the engine plate — no gap in your drivetrain's armour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm deep-stamped high-strength aluminium alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombined Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 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\u003ePlates Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 (Engine + Transmission)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series (2021–Present) — all variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Aluminium?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGVM friendly\u003c\/strong\u003e — at 20 kg combined, aluminium keeps the LC300's weight distribution within factory parameters, preserving ride comfort and fuel economy on long tours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally corrosion resistant\u003c\/strong\u003e — immune to rust whether you're crossing tidal creeks in the Kimberley or driving through tropical rain in Far North Queensland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnergy absorbing\u003c\/strong\u003e — aluminium's natural flex absorbs and redirects impact energy rather than transferring damaging forces to chassis mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConsistent with LC300 engineering\u003c\/strong\u003e — the 300 Series was designed with significant weight savings over the 200 Series; aluminium bash plates maintain that advantage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Aluminium Engine Bash Plate (New Design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Aluminium Transmission Bash Plate (New Design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete mounting hardware, bolts, and step-by-step installation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy — suitable for home mechanics with basic hand tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTools Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard socket set, jack and jack stands or vehicle hoist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Install both plates together for perfect alignment and seamless engine-to-transmission coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — both plates bolt to factory points, fully reversible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eToyota LandCruiser 300 Series (2021–Present)\u003c\/strong\u003e — GX, GXL, VX, Sahara, Sahara ZX, GR Sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3.3L V6 Twin-Turbo Diesel (F33A-FTV), 3.5L V6 Twin-Turbo Petrol (V35A-FTS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNeed Help Confirming Fitment?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur team is online via live chat and can confirm compatibility for your specific LC300 build before you order.
