This precision-engineered component splits torque between front and rear axles, and a single rock strike to its aluminium housing can crack the casing, drain the fluid, and leave you without four-wheel drive exactly when you need it most. The RIVAL 4x4 Transfer Case Bash Plate for the LC200 delivers precision-engineered protection for your transfer case — the heart of your 4WD system that splits power between front and rear axles. Crafted from deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this plate guards the component that defines your Land Cruiser's off-road capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength 6mm Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit — Vehicle-Specific Design for Toyota LC200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Full Transfer Case Coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Airflow \u0026amp; Debris Drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\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\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6mm Deep-Stamped High-Strength Aluminium Alloy (5251 grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e10.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTextured Matte Black Polymer Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDirect bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eToyota Land Cruiser 200 Series (2007-2021) — Petrol models only\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\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel, helping manage the LC200's already substantial kerb weight while preserving payload capacity for touring gear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUnlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer.

From the Gibb River Road to the Simpson Desert, from Cape York to the Coorong, these vehicles are built to go anywhere — but even a Land Cruiser's transfer case isn't invulnerable.
