Original Armour for the Unbreakable N70.
The OCAM 4x4 Bonnet Protector is the must-have accessory for the Pre-Facelift Toyota Hilux N70 (03/2005–07/2011). This generation of Hilux has built a "unbreakable" reputation, but the paint on the bonnet lip remains vulnerable to the harsh realities of Australian roads. Keep your workhorse looking professional with this tough, custom-moulded shield.
Defend Your Workhorse
Whether you're on the job site or heading bush for the weekend, the N70's front end takes a beating from stones, gravel, and insects. The OCAM Bonnet Protector acts as a sacrificial barrier, absorbing impacts and preventing stone chips from turning into rust spots. It’s cheaper to replace a protector than to respray a bonnet.
Custom Fit for the Pre-Facelift
Designed specifically for the 2005–2011 N70, this protector follows the contours of the original bonnet and grille design. Manufactured from high-grade, UV-stabilised acrylic with a dark "smoke" tint, it adds a sleek, finished look to the front end while reducing glare.
Secure, No-Drill Installation
Get back on the road fast. The OCAM Bonnet Protector installs securely using the provided clips and automotive-grade hardware. There is no drilling required. It clamps firmly to the bonnet lip, ensuring a secure fit that won't rattle loose on corrugated tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
My HiLux is a 2011 build. How can I be certain this pre-facelift bonnet protector is the correct fit?
Toyota introduced a major mid-generation facelift to the N70 platform in August 2011. This protector is meticulously designed for the original, early-generation body layout manufactured between March 2005 and July 2011. You can confirm your fitment by looking at your front grille: it must be a standalone unit separated from the headlights. If your 2011 model features the larger, angular grille that sweeps directly into the headlight assemblies, you will require our post-facelift variant instead.
Will this guard disrupt the airflow into my 3.0L turbo-diesel model's factory hood scoop?
No. While the deflector incorporates a subtle aerodynamic trailing lip designed to lift bugs and road debris over your windscreen, it sits tightly along the leading front edge of the hood panel. It does not create a large enough pressure drop or localized slipstream diversion to starve or choke the air intake efficiency of the top-mount intercooler scoop found on D4-D diesel variants.
Does the installation kit include anything to prevent the mounting clips from scratching the paint?
Yes, absolute paintwork safety is integrated into the design. The supplied OCAM kit includes thick, heavy-gauge clear protective film strips. These isolation strips are applied directly over your vehicle's paint edge before you slide on the metal tension brackets. This layer forms an impenetrable buffer that stops metal-on-metal friction and effectively locks out water to prevent under-clip corrosion.
Is this dark smoke acrylic guard stable enough to handle washaway corrugated outback tracks?
Absolutely. OCAM shapes these panels from premium, impact-modified acrylic that blends rigid structural memory with a helpful degree of flex. The package also supplies clear rubber dampening bumps that adhere to the hood surface underneath the shield. These serve as anti-vibration stand-offs, absorbing intense track vibrations and ensuring the acrylic never slaps or chafes against your panels.
