Armour for the V8 Legend.
The OCAM 4x4 Bonnet Protector is the essential shield for the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series (2017–10/2023). The 4.5L V8 Turbo Diesel and the iconic bonnet scoop define this era of the 70 Series. Protect the leading edge of your rig from stone chips, bugs, and road debris with this tough, custom-moulded protector.
Defend the Bonnet Scoop
The prominent bonnet scoop and upright front end of the 70 Series are magnets for highway debris. The OCAM Bonnet Protector acts as a sacrificial barrier, absorbing high-speed impacts before they can chip your paint or rust your bonnet. It’s a vital addition for any tourer or workhorse clocking up kilometres on Aussie roads.
Custom Fit for the 2017+ Shape
Designed specifically for the 2017 to late 2023 models, this protector contours perfectly to the bonnet lip and clears the factory bonnet scoop. Manufactured from heavy-duty, UV-stabilised acrylic with a dark "smoke" tint, it enhances the rugged look of the 79 Series without obstructing the intake.
Secure, No-Drill Installation
Keep your resale value high by avoiding rust traps. The OCAM Bonnet Protector installs securely using the provided clips and automotive-grade hardware. No drilling is required in the metalwork. It’s a quick DIY job that fits firmly, ready to handle corrugations and highway speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my 2016 or 2017 LandCruiser 70 Series uses this specific bonnet guard profile?
Toyota introduced an updated front-end sheet metal design configuration matching their late-2016 single-cab safety compliance update. This protector is laser-profiled specifically for this revised 2017 to October 2023 V8 generation. You can identify if your vehicle belongs to this era by its taller engine bulge configuration. If your 70 Series is an early 2007 to mid-2016 build with the lower hood line, it will require our previous-generation guard layout to ensure a flush fit.
Will this guard fit the late-2023 and 2024+ inline four-cylinder GDJ facelift models?
No. Toyota heavily updated the 70 Series platform in November 2023, introducing a raised, retro-styled vintage hood shape paired with circular headlights. This specific low-to-medium profile guard is engineered strictly to match the drop-side curves of the traditional V8 single-turbo era running up to October 2023, and will not clear the revised styling lines of the newer 2.8L GDJ engine models.
Does this deflector clear heavy aftermarket steel bull bars or side-mounted scrub rails?
Yes, perfectly. OCAM profiles these guards with a vehicle-specific tracking path that wraps closely against the pivoting sheet metal lip of the hood. Because it remains tucked neatly within the functional opening arc of the bonnet itself, it will easily clear heavy-duty commercial steel bull bars, winch hoops, and brush rail arrangements without creating any binding or touch hazards.
What safeguards are supplied in the DIY kit to prevent clear coat damage or edge rust?
To protect your LandCruiser's paintwork from high-speed outback driving vibrations, this kit completely avoids raw metal-on-metal exposure. The package supplies heavy-gauge, clear plastic protective isolation strips that wrap firmly over your panel tip before you slide on the mechanical mounting brackets. This layer forms an impenetrable barrier that seals out track moisture and completely eliminates clear coat abrasion.
