Steel underbody protection for Toyota Land Cruiser 250 (2024-2026), made from 3 mm steel and designed to protect the radiator area. This skid plate helps create a durable barrier between the lower cooling area and objects approaching from beneath the front of the vehicle.
Radiator protection is useful when driving over rough pavement, loose gravel, compacted snow, frozen ruts, construction-site debris, forestry tracks, and uneven surfaces. These hazards can reach the lower cooling area before passing beneath the engine or centre drivetrain.
For a broader explanation of when lower-front cooling components need additional protection, see our radiator skid plate guide, covering potholes, gravel roads, winter conditions and vehicle-specific radiator protection.
This version is listed for model years 2024-2026 and is specified for all engine variants. Product weight is 10 kg.
Please check the VIN, model year, engine, drivetrain, body version, and underbody layout before ordering. Free delivery, 60-day returns, and a 24-month warranty are included.
For a detailed explanation of lower cooling-area impact risks, when radiator protection is worth installing, and how to choose between steel and aluminium, read our Toyota Land Cruiser 250 radiator protection guide.

Fitment and vehicle context
This skid plate is listed for Toyota Land Cruiser 250 (2024-2026) and should be matched to the exact vehicle configuration before purchase. Although this version is specified for all engine variants, compatibility should still be confirmed carefully, especially where drivetrain, body version, production-year differences, existing underbody parts, or mounting-point layouts may affect fitment.

Mounting and service notes
This protection plate is supplied with the required mounting hardware and an installation manual. Before fitting, confirm the vehicle application, use the specified mounting points and fastening sequence, and check clearance around the lower cooling area. Do not cover designed openings or force the plate against surrounding components.
Steel vs. Aluminium
Steel underbody protection is typically chosen when resistance to repeated concentrated impacts is the main priority. In this LC250 radiator application, the 3 mm steel and 4 mm aluminium plates are both listed at 10 kg, so the choice should be based on impact behaviour, corrosion exposure, maintenance, and driving conditions rather than weight alone. The powder-coated steel surface should be inspected periodically, especially after impacts or winter use.

Is it compatible with my vehicle?
This product is listed for Toyota Land Cruiser 250 model years 2024-2026 and is specified for all engine variants. Always check the VIN, model year, engine, drivetrain, body version, existing underbody parts, and vehicle documents before ordering.
Is the steel radiator plate heavier than the aluminium version?
No weight difference is listed for these individual radiator plates. Both the 3 mm steel and 4 mm aluminium versions are specified at 10 kg.
What should I know before installation?
The plate is supplied with the required mounting hardware and an installation manual. Fitment should be checked against the specific vehicle configuration before installation. Installation can be completed by an owner with the required tools and experience or by a professional workshop.
What should be inspected after an impact?
Check the plate for deformation, inspect the fasteners and mounting points, confirm adequate clearance behind the plate, and look for coolant leakage, warning messages, steam, or abnormal temperature.
