100 Series Land Cruiser Skid Plate Kit – DIY Weld-Together Protection for Serious Off-Roading
Equip your 1998-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser or Lexus LX470 with the 100 Series Skid Plate Kit, designed for comprehensive protection of your vehicle’s drivetrain components. This 3-piece DIY weld-together kit shields the radiator, front differential, engine oil pan, steering rack, transmission, and transfer case from the harsh impacts of off-road adventures, while maximizing ground clearance and preserving approach angles.
Constructed from heavy-duty 3/16” steel or an optional lightweight 1/4” 5052 aluminum, this kit is engineered for durability and strength. The skid plates feature reinforcing ribs and double-wall construction at high-impact areas, ensuring they can withstand the most challenging terrain without bending or flexing. This design approach distributes impact forces evenly over the frame, reducing stress and enhancing the overall lifespan of your Land Cruiser’s undercarriage.
Each piece in this set is CNC-laser cut and slotted for precise fitment, making assembly straightforward and minimizing guesswork. The comprehensive kit comes with detailed instructions and CAD diagrams, perfect for both novice and experienced welders. The engine skid plate bolts to the frame using 13 mounting points, providing unmatched stability. With built-in drain holes, routine oil and transmission fluid changes can be done without removing the skid plates.
