The FJ Cruiser has short overhangs and decent clearance, but the 4.0 V6 still hangs its sump low under the front end — and the factory tray is mostly an aerodynamic deflector, not stone protection. This Rival plate closes that gap.

4.0 mm aluminium. Rival specifies aluminium at 4.0 mm thickness in silver. Hitting the sump is the quickest way to end a trip: the oil is gone in seconds and there is nothing left to drive out on. A plate at this gauge takes that contact instead.

Installation. A fitting kit is supplied and the plate uses prepared mounting points. No chassis modification needed.

Fitment. Toyota FJ Cruiser with the 4.0 l petrol engine. The catalogue name covers 2006-2022, while Rival's technical description refers to vehicles from 2010 — worth confirming before you order.

Rival calls this part "plate 1", the first section of the FJ underbody layout. The following sections (gearbox, transfer case) are ordered separately if you want to extend protection rearwards.
