Heavy-Duty Radiator Protector for Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series – Replaces Factory Plastic
The factory radiator guard on the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series (76, 78, 79) is made of thin plastic and provides minimal protection against sticks, rocks, or debris. One wrong move off-road can result in a punctured radiator and an expensive recovery.
The Xplore Aus Radiator Protector is a direct-replacement upgrade that provides genuine peace of mind. Laser-cut from premium steel and finished with a rugged coating, this protector shields the lower section of your radiator and cooling system while maintaining maximum airflow on hot, heavy-towing days.
Key Features
- Steel Upgrade: Replaces the vulnerable OEM plastic guard with high-strength steel protection.
- Maximum Airflow: Engineered with precision venting to ensure your engine stays cool under load.
- High-Clearance Design: Tucks up neatly to maintain your approach angle while off-road.
- Direct Bolt-On: Uses existing factory mounting points for a quick and easy installation with no drilling required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I replace the factory plastic radiator guard?
The factory plastic shield is prone to cracking, warping, and bending, especially under the heat of the engine bay or from contact with track debris. The Xplore Aus steel protector provides vastly superior structural integrity, ensuring your radiator is shielded from sticks, stones, and heavy impacts that would easily penetrate the stock plastic guard.
Will this protector affect engine cooling or airflow?
No. The Xplore Aus protector is precision-engineered with ventilation patterns that maintain factory-specified airflow to your radiator and condenser. It offers the necessary physical protection without compromising the cooling efficiency required for your LandCruiser’s engine, even under heavy towing or high-load conditions.
Is this a direct replacement for my 70 Series?
Yes, it is designed to be a direct replacement for the factory plastic guard. It utilizes the existing factory mounting points for a secure fit, meaning no complex fabrication, drilling, or vehicle modifications are required. It is an easy bolt-on upgrade that provides instant peace of mind.
How durable is the finish on the steel guard?
The Xplore Aus radiator protector is finished in a high-quality, durable powder coat. This coating is specifically chosen to resist rust, corrosion, and the harsh UV exposure typical of Australian environments, ensuring your guard stays looking good and performing effectively for years.
What are the risks of a damaged radiator while off-road?
Radiator damage is one of the most common reasons for 4WDs to be stranded in remote areas. Losing coolant can lead to immediate, catastrophic engine overheating. Installing a robust radiator guard is a simple, proactive measure to prevent minor debris from turning into a major, expensive mechanical failure.
