Vehicle Compatibility

Important Engine & Transmission Compatibility

This transfer case guard is not a universal Toyota Land Cruiser 100 protection plate.

This Fabryka 4x4 OTX version is specifically designed for:

• Toyota Land Cruiser 100 / J100
• 1998–2007 models
• Petrol engine
• Automatic transmission

Separate transfer case protection plates are available for diesel automatic and diesel manual vehicles.

Please confirm the vehicle's engine and transmission configuration before ordering.

Technical Overview

Heavy-Duty Transfer Case Protection

The transfer case is a critical component of the Land Cruiser 100 four-wheel-drive system and is positioned underneath the vehicle where it can become exposed when travelling across difficult terrain.

Rocks, raised centre sections, deep ruts and other obstacles can make direct contact with the drivetrain. A severe strike to the transfer case may damage the casing or surrounding components and can potentially lead to lubricant loss or drivetrain problems.

This Fabryka 4x4 aluminium transfer case guard creates a substantial protective barrier between the terrain and the transfer case.

6mm Aluminium Construction

The guard is manufactured from substantial 6mm thick aluminium plate.

The material thickness provides strong protection for an exposed drivetrain component while retaining the practical advantages associated with aluminium underbody armour.

• Strong resistance to underside impacts
• Lower weight than comparable heavy steel armour
• Excellent natural corrosion resistance
• Well suited to wet and muddy environments
• Suitable for long-distance touring and expedition vehicles

Precision Laser-Cut Construction

The aluminium protection plate is precision laser cut during production.

This allows the profile, edges and mounting areas to be manufactured consistently and accurately, which is especially important for protection located close to drivetrain components.

Press-Brake Formed & Hand Finished

After cutting, the aluminium plate is formed using a press brake to create the required profile and structural shape.

The protection plate is then hand finished during production, combining precision fabrication with manual finishing before the completed component is supplied.

Designed Specifically for Petrol Automatic J100 Models

The transmission and transfer case arrangement can differ between Land Cruiser 100 drivetrain configurations.

For this reason, Fabryka 4x4 produces dedicated protection plates for specific engine and transmission combinations.

This product should be selected specifically for a petrol automatic Toyota Land Cruiser 100 / J100.

Pair with the Petrol Automatic Gearbox Guard

For broader drivetrain protection, combine this transfer case guard with the matching Fabryka 4x4 gearbox protection plate for petrol automatic J100 models.

• Fabryka 4x4 Aluminium Gearbox Guard – Petrol Automatic
• Fabryka 4x4 Aluminium Transfer Case Guard – Petrol Automatic – this product

Using both guards provides dedicated protection beneath the automatic transmission and transfer case rather than leaving one of the drivetrain sections exposed.

Add Aluminium Engine & Sump Protection

The Fabryka 4x4 aluminium engine and sump guard can be added to extend protection towards the front underside of the vehicle.

Fabryka 4x4 Aluminium Engine & Sump Guard for Toyota Land Cruiser 100 J100 – 6mm

Combining the engine, gearbox and transfer case protection plates creates a substantially broader aluminium underbody protection package for petrol automatic Land Cruiser 100 vehicles.

Petrol Automatic Aluminium Protection Package

For a petrol automatic Toyota Land Cruiser 100, the recommended Fabryka 4x4 aluminium protection combination is:

• 6mm Aluminium Engine & Sump Guard
• 6mm Aluminium Gearbox Guard – Petrol Automatic
• 6mm Aluminium Transfer Case Guard – Petrol Automatic

This combination provides protection beneath the engine, sump, automatic transmission and transfer case.

Other Land Cruiser 100 Drivetrain Configurations

Owners of other J100 drivetrain configurations should use the correct matching guards rather than the petrol automatic versions.

Diesel Automatic:

• Aluminium Gearbox Guard – Diesel Automatic
• Aluminium Transfer Case Guard – Diesel Automatic

Diesel Manual:

• Aluminium Gearbox Guard – Diesel Manual
• Aluminium Transfer Case Guard – Diesel Manual

Steel Underbody Protection Alternatives

For Land Cruiser 100 owners who prefer traditional steel protection, OFM4x4 also offers dedicated steel guards.
