Classic Protection for the Off-Road Legend.
The OCAM 4x4 Bonnet Protector is the essential armour for your Toyota LandCruiser 80 Series (1990–1998). Whether you are restoring a classic Sahara or building a tough tourer, the 80 Series deserves the best protection. This bonnet protector provides a robust shield against stone chips, bugs, and road debris, helping to prevent rust spots on the leading edge of your bonnet.
Deflect Debris & Save Your Glass
The upright windscreen and flat bonnet of the 80 Series are prone to catching stones. The aerodynamic design of this protector deflects airflow upward, keeping bugs and small stones out of your glass rather than into it. It’s a simple addition that can save you from costly windscreen replacements.
Tough, Period-Correct Styling
Manufactured from high-quality, UV-stabilised acrylic, the OCAM Bonnet Protector is built to handle the harsh Aussie outback without cracking or fading. The dark "smoke" tint offers a classic, rugged look that suits the 80 Series perfectly, blending in with the black window trims and rubber seals.
Simple No-Drill Installation
Preserve the bodywork of your classic cruiser. This bonnet protector installs securely using the provided clips and automotive-grade hardware. No drilling is required, so you don't create new rust traps. It’s a quick DIY job that fits the factory bonnet contours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this protector fit all 80 Series years, including early models with the large Toyota lettering on the grille?
Yes, perfectly. Although Toyota altered the front grille styling midway through production (switching from the bold, early \"TOYOTA\" lettered grille to the central triple-oval badge layout in late 1994), the actual sheet metal contours of the hood itself never changed. This guard fits flawlessly across all model years from 1990 to 1997, regardless of your grille or trim variant.
Will the mounting clips wear through my 80 Series paintwork and cause edge rust?
No. Given the age of the factory paintwork on classic 80 Series Cruisers, preventing clear coat abrasion is vital. The provided OCAM installation pack includes thick, transparent clear protective film strips. These strips wrap around the leading edge of the metal before the high-tension mechanical clips are fitted, forming an unyielding barrier that completely locks out water and prevents metal-on-metal friction lines.
How does this deflector manage airflow on vehicles fitted with a top-mount intercooler or scoop?
The guard is low-profile and curves tightly along the very edge of the bonnet panel. While its subtle flipped lip creates a high-velocity air vortex to sweep insects and fine gravel stones over the top of the windscreen, it sits low enough that it will not disrupt or choke the negative or positive air pressures required by aftermarket hood scoops feeding top-mounted intercoolers on 1HD-T, 1HD-FT, or 1HZ setups.
Can this acrylic guard handle heavy vibrations from remote outback corrugated tracks?
Absolutely. OCAM manufactures these shields from high-density, impact-modified acrylic that combines rigid structural integrity with excellent flex tolerance. Additionally, the kit supplies soft, clear rubber dampening bubbles that adhere directly to the hood panel beneath the shield. These act as anti-vibration stand-offs, absorbing intense track vibrations and ensuring the acrylic never slaps or chafes against your vehicle bodywork.
