Vehicle Compatibility

Important 2017-On Fitment

This Fabryka 4x4 OLM engine guard is intended for the later Toyota Land Cruiser J150 application from 2017 onwards.

The J150 was produced through several revisions, and Fabryka 4x4 offers different engine guards for different production periods.

• Engine & Sump Guard – J150 2009–2017
• Engine & Sump Guard – J150 2013–2017
• Engine & Sump Guard – J150 2017-On – this product

Please confirm the vehicle production year and specification before ordering.

Technical Overview

Heavy-Duty Engine & Sump Protection

The engine sump and lower engine components sit close to the front underside of the Land Cruiser J150 and can become vulnerable when driving across rough or deeply rutted terrain.

Rocks, raised centre sections, tree roots and hidden obstacles can strike the underside directly. A substantial impact to the sump or surrounding engine components may potentially result in:

• Sump deformation
• Cracking or puncture
• Engine oil loss
• Damage to surrounding components
• Vehicle immobilisation
• Expensive mechanical repairs

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

Heavy-Duty 6mm Aluminium Construction

The protection plate is manufactured from substantial 6mm aluminium, providing significantly more material thickness than lightweight factory splash shields or cosmetic undertrays.

This construction is intended to provide functional protection during demanding off-road use while retaining the practical benefits of aluminium.

• Strong resistance to underside impacts
• Lower weight than comparable heavy steel armour
• Excellent natural corrosion resistance
• Suitable 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 produced accurately and consistently for vehicle-specific fitment.

Accurate fabrication is particularly important around the engine and front suspension area where suitable component clearance must be maintained.

Press-Brake Formed for Strength & Fitment

After laser cutting, the protection plate is shaped using a press brake.

The formed sections allow the guard to follow the required vehicle profile while also increasing rigidity compared with a simple flat sheet of aluminium.

This helps the finished protection plate distribute impact loads across a larger area.

Hand-Finished Manufacturing

The protection plate is hand finished after the primary cutting and forming processes.

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

Protection Against Common Off-Road Hazards

The engine and sump guard helps reduce exposure to common hazards encountered during demanding off-road use, including:

• 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 2017-On Fabryka 4x4 Protection System

This engine and sump guard forms the front section of the Fabryka 4x4 aluminium underbody protection package for later Toyota Land Cruiser J150 vehicles.

• Fabryka 4x4 6mm Aluminium Engine & Sump Guard – J150 2017-On – this product
• Fabryka 4x4 6mm Aluminium Gearbox & Transfer Case Guard – J150 2017-On
• Fabryka 4x4 6mm Aluminium Fuel Tank Guard – J150 2009-On

Together, the appropriate guards can provide protection beneath the:

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

Matching 2017-On Gearbox & Transfer Case Guard

The matching centre drivetrain protection for later-model J150 vehicles is:

Fabryka 4x4 Aluminium Gearbox & Transfer Case Guard for Toyota Land Cruiser J150 2017-On – 6mm

Combining these two 2017-On guards provides significantly broader protection from the front engine area through the central drivetrain.

Matching Fuel Tank Protection

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

Fabryka 4x4 Aluminium Fuel Tank Guard for Toyota Land Cruiser J150 2009-On – 6mm

The current manufacturer application for the fuel tank guard runs from 2009 onwards, allowing it to form part of both earlier and later J150 protection packages.

Earlier 2009–2017 J150 Models

This 2017-On OLM engine guard should not be selected for an earlier J150 solely because the vehicles share the same J150 platform designation.

For earlier vehicles, Fabryka 4x4 offers:

• 6mm Aluminium Engine & Sump Guard – J150 2009–2017
• 6mm Aluminium Gearbox & Transfer Case Guard – J150 2009–2017

The correct model-year-specific guard should always be selected.

2013–2017 Engine Protection Option

A separate Fabryka 4x4 engine guard is also available for the specific 2013–2017 application:

If your vehicle falls within an earlier overlapping application, confirm the exact vehicle specification before choosing the front protection plate.

Steel Underbody Protection Alternatives

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

• Steel Engine & Sump Guard for Toyota Land Cruiser J150
• Steel Gearbox Guard for Toyota Land Cruiser J150
• Steel Fuel Tank Guard for Toyota Land Cruiser J150

4mm Aluminium Alternatives

OFM4x4 also offers lighter aluminium protection options for the Land Cruiser J150:

• 4mm Aluminium Engine & Sump Guard
• 4mm Aluminium Gearbox Guard

6mm Aluminium vs 4mm Aluminium vs Steel Protection

Why Choose 6mm Aluminium?

Underbody protection needs to balance impact resistance, weight and corrosion resistance.

Using substantial 6mm aluminium gives this Fabryka 4x4 engine guard considerable material thickness while keeping overall weight lower than a comparable large steel plate.

This can be particularly useful on Land Cruiser builds already carrying additional equipment such as:

• Steel front and rear bumpers
• Winches
• Roof racks
• Rooftop tents
• Recovery equipment
• Auxiliary batteries
• Camping equipment
• Water storage
• Larger wheels and tyres

Ideal Uses

• Green-laning
• Overlanding
• Expedition travel
• Rocky trails
• Deep ruts
• Mountain tracks
• Forestry roads
• Agricultural access roads
• Remote touring
• Water crossings with hidden obstacles
• Working 4x4 vehicles
• Land Cruiser J150 builds requiring substantial engine and sump protection
