Heavy-Duty Diff Lock Protector for Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series – By Xplore Aus
If you own a factory-locked Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series (76, 78, or 79), you likely know the factory electronic locker actuator is mounted in a vulnerable position. One stray rock or a high-centred rut can easily snap the plastic housing or damage the wiring, leaving you without traction when you need it most.
The Xplore Aus Diff Lock Protector is the ultimate "insurance policy" for your drivetrain. Laser-cut from high-strength steel and finished in a durable coating, this shield wraps around the actuator to deflect impacts and debris without interfering with the locker's operation.
Key Features
- Engineered Protection: Specifically designed to shield the delicate electronic locker actuator on 70 Series rear differentials.
- Laser-Cut Precision: Perfect fitment for LandCruiser 76 Wagons, 78 Troopys, and 79 Single/Double Cab Utes.
- Easy Installation: Bolt-on design that utilises existing mounting points—no drilling or permanent modifications required.
- Rugged Finish: Built to withstand the harshest Australian off-road conditions and resist corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a diff lock protector for the 70 Series?
The factory rear diff lock actuator on the 70 Series LandCruiser is mounted externally and is vulnerable to being struck by rocks, logs, or debris when driving off-road. This protector acts as a heavy-duty shield to prevent expensive damage to the actuator, ensuring your diff lock remains functional when you need it most.
Is this protector compatible with my 70 Series model?
Yes, it is designed specifically for 70 Series LandCruisers equipped with factory rear differential locks. Whether you have an earlier model or a newer VDJ79, the mounting geometry is tailored to ensure a precise, bolt-on fit over the factory actuator housing.
Is the installation difficult?
Installation is very straightforward. It is designed to bolt directly onto existing mounting points surrounding the differential housing. You will only need basic hand tools, and no drilling or welding is required, making it a perfect DIY upgrade for any weekend mechanic.
Will this affect my ability to service the differential?
No. The protector is designed to shield the actuator specifically, leaving your differential drain and fill plugs fully accessible for routine oil changes and maintenance. You do not need to remove the guard to perform standard differential servicing.
Why choose a dedicated Xplore Aus protector?
Xplore Aus products are engineered specifically for the harsh Australian outback. This protector is manufactured from robust steel with a high-quality powder-coat finish, offering superior impact resistance and rust protection compared to generic covers, ensuring it stands up to the toughest tracks.
