Aluminium Engine (Part 2) Bash Plate — Toyota Land Cruiser 200 (2007-2021)
Weight: 9.8 kg
When you're tackling the seasonal tracks of Arnhem Land, where wet-season flooding deposits rocks and debris across previously clear trails, your Toyota Land Cruiser 200's engine bay extends well beyond what a single plate can cover. This Engine (Part 2) Bash Plate protects the rear section of your engine bay, working in conjunction with the Part 1 plate to provide complete engine protection from front to back. The RIVAL 4x4 Engine (Part 2) Bash Plate delivers precision-engineered protection for the rear section of your engine bay — extending protection to cover the full length of your powerplant. Crafted from deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this 9.8 kg plate completes the armour that your LC200's legendary V8 deserves.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Savings: Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel — important for the LC200 where GVM management is essential when loaded for extended touring.
- Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer. Combined with powder coating, your bash plate won't rust — even after decades of salt-air exposure, water crossings, and outback dust.
- Energy Absorption: Aluminium's natural flex absorbs and distributes impact energy across the plate rather than transferring sharp jolts to the engine block and crossmember.
- Modern Vehicle Design: The LC200's substantial kerb weight already challenges GVM limits. Every kilogram saved in protection weight is a kilogram available for water, fuel, and supplies.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Toyota Land Cruiser 200 is the definitive Australian touring vehicle — thousands of them traverse the most remote corners of this continent every year. The engine bay on these vehicles is large, matching the substantial V8 powerplants, and requires two-part protection to cover completely. Australian terrain — from Arnhem Land's rocky floodplains to the Simpson Desert's gibber-strewn approaches — targets every centimeter of exposed underbody.
RIVAL bash plates are engineered for these exact conditions. The deep-stamped construction creates integrated stiffening ribs that provide up to two times the impact resistance of flat-plate designs. The powder coat finish resists UV degradation, salt corrosion, and the relentless red dust of outback travel.
Perfect For
- Long-distance outback touring — Cape York, Gibb River Road, Simpson Desert, Canning Stock Route
- Coastal driving where salt air accelerates corrosion on exposed engine components
- Station work and rural property access across rough terrain
- Serious off-road adventures including rock crawling, river crossings, and rutted tracks
- Daily driving with peace of mind knowing your engine rear section is fully protected
