On the Land Cruiser 300 the transfer case is the lowest-hanging item in the middle of the vehicle. On a rutted track with a high centre, or coming down a bank, it decides what you end up resting on.

6.0 mm pressed aluminium. Rival specifies 6.0 mm pressed aluminium sheet in silver. Beyond raw strength, the smooth pressed surface has a practical benefit: the truck slides off a rock instead of catching an edge on it.

Installation. A fitting kit is included. Important: per the manufacturer's data this plate is installed together with gearbox plate 2333.9552.1.6 — the two parts work as one assembly and are best ordered together.

Fitment. Toyota Land Cruiser 300 from 2021, 3.5 l and 4.0 l petrol versions.

If your 300 leaves the tarmac more than occasionally, this is one of those parts you only think about at the moment you do not have it.
