Heavy-Duty Transfer Case Protector for Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series – By Xplore Aus
The transfer case is one of the most vulnerable and expensive components on the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series (76, 78, 79). Because it sits low between the chassis rails, it is often the first thing to take a hit when crossing rocky terrain or cresting sharp washouts.
The Xplore Aus Transfer Case Protector provides the heavy-duty armour your rig needs. Laser-cut from premium, high-strength steel, this skid plate is designed to absorb the brunt of impact so your drivetrain doesn't have to. Its smooth, recessed design allows your vehicle to slide over obstacles rather than getting hung up on them.
Key Features
- Maximum Ground Clearance: Tapered, high-clearance design ensures minimal loss of break-over angle.
- Heavy-Duty Steel: Built to withstand significant impacts and prevent structural damage to the transfer case housing.
- Drainage & Access: Features precision-cut holes to prevent mud and debris buildup while allowing easy access for servicing.
- Bolt-On Installation: Mounts directly to the chassis using existing factory points—no welding or drilling required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a transfer case protector essential for the 70 Series?
The transfer case is one of the lowest and most exposed components on your LandCruiser's undercarriage. When navigating rocky terrain or deep ruts, it is highly susceptible to impact damage. A heavy-duty protector shields the transfer case housing from rocks and stumps, preventing costly drivetrain failures while out on the tracks.
What material is the Xplore Aus transfer case protector made from?
It is manufactured from high-grade, laser-cut steel that provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It is then finished with a durable powder coat to ensure maximum resistance against corrosion, moisture, and the harsh impacts typically encountered during off-road driving.
Does this require chassis drilling for installation?
No. This protector is designed for a simple, bolt-on installation utilizing the existing factory chassis mounting points. This ensures you can fit the guard quickly and securely without the need for drilling, welding, or modifying your vehicle's frame.
Will this guard trap mud and debris under the vehicle?
The design includes carefully placed drainage and ventilation slots. These allow water, mud, and dirt to escape freely after a drive, preventing moisture buildup that could otherwise lead to premature corrosion of your transfer case or the guard itself.
Can I still perform routine transmission servicing with this guard fitted?
Yes. The Xplore Aus protector is designed to provide maximum coverage while ensuring that your transfer case drain and fill plugs remain fully accessible. You can perform standard maintenance and oil changes without needing to remove the protective plate.
