Technical Overview

Heavy-Duty Engine & Sump Protection

The engine sump and lower engine components are positioned close to the front underside of the Land Cruiser J150 and can become vulnerable when driving across difficult terrain.

Rocks, raised track centres, deep ruts and hidden obstacles can strike the underside directly. A severe impact to the sump or surrounding components may result in:

• Sump deformation
• Cracks or punctures
• Engine oil loss
• Damage to surrounding components
• Vehicle immobilisation
• Expensive engine repairs

The Fabryka 4x4 engine guard creates a substantial aluminium barrier underneath these vulnerable components, helping reduce the risk of direct impact damage.

6mm Aluminium Construction

The guard is manufactured from substantial 6mm aluminium plate.

This is considerably more substantial than a lightweight factory splash shield or cosmetic undertray and is designed to provide functional protection during demanding off-road use.

Advantages of the aluminium construction include:

• Strong resistance to underside impacts
• Lower weight than comparable heavy steel armour
• Excellent natural corrosion resistance
• Suitability for wet, muddy and exposed environments
• Well suited to overland and expedition vehicle builds

Precision Laser-Cut Construction

The 6mm aluminium plate is precision laser cut during manufacture.

This allows the external profile, fixing locations and detailed sections of the guard to be manufactured accurately and consistently for vehicle-specific fitment.

Press-Brake Formed for Strength & Fitment

After laser cutting, the plate is shaped using a press brake to create the required contours, angles and mounting geometry.

The formed sections help the guard follow the underside of the J150 while also increasing rigidity compared with a simple flat sheet of aluminium.

Hand-Finished Construction

The protection plate is hand finished after the principal cutting and forming stages.

This combines precision manufacturing with final manual finishing before the guard is supplied for installation.

Protection Against Common Off-Road Hazards

The engine and sump guard helps shield the front underside of the vehicle against:

• Rocks and exposed stone
• Deep wheel ruts
• Raised track centres
• Tree roots
• Branches
• Mud and trail debris
• Hidden obstacles during water crossings
• Forestry tracks
• Agricultural roads
• Uneven mountain trails

Build a Complete 2009–2017 Fabryka 4x4 Protection System

This engine and sump guard forms the front section of a wider Fabryka 4x4 aluminium underbody protection package for the earlier Land Cruiser J150.

• 6mm Aluminium Engine & Sump Guard – J150 2009–2017 – this product
• 6mm Aluminium Gearbox & Transfer Case Guard – J150 2009–2017
• 6mm Aluminium Fuel Tank Guard – J150 2009-On

Together, the appropriate protection plates can provide coverage beneath the:

• Engine
• Engine sump
• Gearbox
• Transfer case
• Fuel tank

Matching Gearbox & Transfer Case Protection

The matching Fabryka 4x4 drivetrain guard for this production period protects both the gearbox and transfer case:

Combining the engine guard with the gearbox and transfer case guard significantly extends protection along the centre underside of the vehicle.

Matching Fuel Tank Protection

Protection can be extended farther rearwards with the Fabryka 4x4 fuel tank guard:

This creates a broader underbody armour package covering several of the most vulnerable mechanical areas beneath the vehicle.

2013–2017 Engine Guard Option

Fabryka 4x4 also produces a separate engine protection plate listed specifically for the 2013–2017 J150 application:

Fabryka 4x4 Aluminium Engine & Sump Guard – J150 2013–2017 – 6mm

If your vehicle falls within this overlapping period, check the exact vehicle configuration before selecting the correct engine protection plate.

2017-On J150 Protection

The later J150 platform uses separate Fabryka 4x4 front and drivetrain protection products.

• Fabryka 4x4 Aluminium Engine & Sump Guard – J150 2017-On – 6mm
• Fabryka 4x4 Aluminium Gearbox & Transfer Case Guard – J150 2017-On – 6mm

These later guards should be selected for the appropriate facelift vehicles rather than assuming the 2009–2017 components are interchangeable.

Steel Underbody Protection Alternatives

OFM4x4 also offers steel protection for the Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 / J150.

• Steel Engine & Sump Guard – J150 2009–2023
• Steel Gearbox Guard – J150 2009–2023

This gives Land Cruiser owners a choice between substantial aluminium protection and traditional steel armour depending on vehicle use, build weight and personal preference.

4mm Aluminium Alternative

A lighter aluminium engine protection option is also available:
