Summary

The Land Cruiser 70 Series gets bought for the worst roads on earth, and the worst roads answer back at the front underside first. This Almont front skid plate covers the 1999-2024 HZJ, VDJ and GRJ platforms - 71, 73, 76, 78 and 79 body styles - with 8 mm of laser-cut EN AW-5083 H111 duralumin, so rock ledges and rut edges spend themselves on the plate instead of on what the 70 needs to keep running. Versions are cut for the original bumper and for AFN bars, mounting to the factory chassis points.

Best For

  • Working and expedition 70 Series across the 1999-2024 span
  • Utes and Troopys heading somewhere recovery is a day away, not an hour
  • Trucks on AFN bars needing the plate shaped to match

Key Specs

  • Manufacturer: Almont4WD
  • Product Type: front skid plate, HeavyDuty grade
  • Vehicle Application: Toyota HZJ / VDJ / GRJ 71, 73, 76, 78 and 79 (1999-2024)
  • Material: 8 mm EN AW-5083 H111 duralumin
  • Fitment type: Original or AFN bumper versions
  • Included Items: steel mounting brackets, pre-installed bolts, certificate and instruction manual

Fitment And Setup Checks

  • Match the version to the bumper on the truck; the AFN cut will not sit right on an original front and vice versa.
  • 2024-on relaunch trucks take the separate 2024+ front plate; pre-1999 trucks take the 1990-98 HZJ / 1984-92 BJ plate - check your build year before ordering.
  • Standard chassis required; raised suspension is fine, body lifts are not.

Questions before you order

Frequently asked questions

Which 70 Series variants does this actually fit?

The 71, 73, 76, 78 and 79 body styles on the HZJ, VDJ and GRJ platforms built between 1999 and 2024. Earlier trucks and the 2024-on relaunch each have their own Almont plate.

Why only 8 mm for this vehicle?

The 70 Series sits firmly in Almont's heavy-vehicle category, where the maker recommends the 8 mm HeavyDuty grade rather than offering a lighter option.

Can I keep my winch?

Yes - the plate fits with a winch already installed, or the winch can go in afterwards with the plate on.

Fitment first

Check fit before you order

Model year, engine, drivetrain, hardware and existing modifications can all change what fits. Check the applications and supplier notes above, or send us your exact vehicle and setup before ordering.
