Summary

A 70 Series will drag itself over terrain that stops most trucks, and the transfer box is what it drags. Hanging at the centre of the driveline, the transfer takes the crest strikes and rock contact that decades of overloading roads dish out - and a cracked transfer case ends a trip anywhere. This Almont plate shields it with 11.5 kg of laser-cut 8 mm EN AW-5083 H111 duralumin across the 1999-2024 HZJ, VDJ and GRJ 71, 73, 76, 78 and 79, bolting to the original chassis points with steel brackets.

Best For

  • 1999-2024 70 Series doing loaded expedition, farm and outback-style work
  • Routes with rock steps and ruts that strike the driveline centre
  • Pairing with the matching front plate for a continuous protected run

Fitment And Setup Checks

  • Confirm your build year: 1990-98 trucks take the earlier transfer plate, and the 2024-on relaunch has its own version.
  • Fit it alongside the matching front plate if both are planned - one session, front first, keeps the line of cover continuous.
  • Modified driveline mounts or a body lift rule the plate out.

Questions before you order

Frequently asked questions

Does one plate really cover all those variants?

Yes - the 71, 73, 76, 78 and 79 bodies on HZJ, VDJ and GRJ platforms from 1999 to 2024 share the underpinnings this plate is cut around. Your build year is the thing to verify.

Why protect the transfer box specifically?

It is the lowest casing in the centre of the truck and the one every crest reaches for. Unlike bent tinware, a holed transfer case stops the vehicle where it sits.

What is involved in fitting?

Bolt-on work into original holes and threads using the supplied brackets - Almont's stated toolkit is 17 mm and 13 mm spanners plus 5 mm and 6 mm Allen keys.
