Ultimate Protection for the Modern Prado
The OCAM 4x4 Bonnet Protector is the premier front-end defence for your Toyota LandCruiser Prado 150 Series (Facelift 2: 09/2017–2023). The final evolution of the 150 Prado features a uniquely sculpted bonnet designed for improved trail visibility, and this protector is precision-moulded to match those exact premium contours. It provides a rugged barrier against stones, bugs, and road debris, ensuring your front end stays pristine.
To fully secure your family wagon from unpredictable touring environments, pairing your front-end armour with side door deflectors is a smart move. Check out matching upgrades in our Toyota Prado 150 Bonnet Protectors & Weather Shields collection.
Preserve Your Paintwork
The leading edge of the bonnet is the area most susceptible to severe stone chips and deep scratches during high-speed highway driving or off-road convoy adventures. This bonnet protector acts as a sacrificial shield that absorbs the impact of flying debris, preventing expensive paint damage and reducing the risk of costly windscreen cracks by deflecting harsh airflow and track grit upward.
Sleek, Integrated Design
Designed specifically for the late-2017 to 2023 "Facelift 2" sheet metal layout, this protector sits low and flush against the body lines. It is manufactured from heavy-duty, impact-modified UV-stabilised acrylic with a premium dark "smoke" tint. This adds a sophisticated, aggressive edge to the vehicle's styling while effectively reducing intense sun glare off the bonnet back into the driver's eyes.
Simple, Non-Invasive Installation
There is absolutely no need to drill holes into your pride and joy. The OCAM Bonnet Protector installs securely using existing under-bonnet access holes and pre-formed tension clips. It is a straightforward DIY project that takes minutes in the driveway, delivering a rock-solid, vibration-free hold while leaving no permanent marks if you choose to remove it later.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this bonnet protector require any drilling or modifications to my Prado? ➕
No. The OCAM 4x4 bonnet protector is engineered to be 100% drill-free. It fastens directly over the leading lip of your factory bonnet panel using pre-shaped tension clips and mounting hardware that secure into factory openings under the bonnet line. Your original sheet metal remains entirely untouched.
My Prado is a late 2017 build. How can I be completely certain this guard fits my front end? ➕
The easiest indicator is the bonnet structure and headlights. The earlier Facelift 1 models (2013 to mid-2017) have a flatter bonnet profile and large vertical drooping headlights. The Facelift 2 models (September 2017+) feature slimmer, high-mount headlights and a distinct, deep dual-scalloped channel stamped right down the middle of the bonnet steel. This protector is molded exclusively to match that center channel design.
Will this guard block the view from my forward-facing grille camera or blind my headlights? ➕
No. This protector features a low-profile design sculpted to wrap tightly around the upper edge of the steel bonnet panel only. It rests cleanly above the grille assembly—ensuring your 360-degree forward trail camera system retains its full unobstructed field of view—and sits well clear of the high-output LED projector headlights.
Can I safely leave this guard attached when running my Prado through automated brush car washes? ➕
Yes. Because the protector utilizes custom mechanical retention clips and security screws to lock onto the bonnet framework rather than relying strictly on adhesive tapes, it is incredibly rigid. It safely handles high-pressure spray guns, automatic car wash brushes, and heavy highway wind forces without rattling or coming loose.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my 2017 Prado needs this Facelift 2 bonnet guard or the earlier version?
Toyota introduced the \"Facelift 2\" redesign in September 20117. This protector is laser-sculpted specifically for the final production run spanning late 2017 to 2023. You can verify your vehicle belongs to this series by its aggressive, swept-back angular headlights that sit higher up, completely parallel with the top of the grille frame. If your 2017 build has the older drop-down teardrop headlights, it requires our Facelift 1 variant.
Will this guard interfere with autonomous braking sensors or radar cruise control?
No. OCAM explicitly profiles this guard to match the factory contours of the late-model Prado hoods. Because it anchors strictly along the pivoting sheet metal edge, it sits entirely outside the line of sight of the safety radar sensors located behind the front Toyota grille badge and the camera arrays mounted inside the upper windscreen housing.
What protection advantages does this deflector provide on unsealed outback roads?
The guard serves two primary functions. Mechanically, its tough modified acrylic skin takes the direct brunt of flying gravel, preventing paint chips and deep rust-inducing scars on your leading panel edge. Aerodynamically, its flipped trailing lip alters the high-velocity airflow over the front of the vehicle, sweeping swarms of bugs, sand, and small debris upward and clean over your windscreen.
Can I safely take my Prado through automated brush car washes with this guard attached?
Yes, provided the initial installation steps were followed precisely. The heavy-duty steel retention clips and anti-vibration locking fasteners provide a secure mechanical anchor. The shield is completely stable when subjected to high-volume commercial water jets, high-speed spin brushes, and powerful industrial blow dryers without flexing or rattling.
