Our Best Prado 150 & FJ Underbody Protection YET - X700 High Performance UVP 

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! We wanted to keep it simple but really show the properties of the various materials in a fair way.

Thanks for the kind words! They team really threw their all at these and it shows. Glad to hear you held out - we think they're worth the wait!

We're so glad to hear it! Thank you.

We think little details like that really make all the difference, glad to hear that it resonated with you too. We believe these will work with the GX 460 - our past UVP always has.

Thanks for the kind words, we're big fans of your approach, so the team considers it very high praise! As for your questions - It's 4mm more clearance than Factory at the lowest point (it's hard up against the cross members so it's as high as it'll go). But the front guard is 35mm more clearance at some points, thanks to it's approach angle of 19°, vs factory 42°. Unfortunately RU-vid not allowing us to attach images means we can't show these overlaid, which paints a better picture! The Sump Guard hangs down 25mm at the Diff Cradle.

Just had a great idea, get Kaon to fab and sell your FJ Cruiser Front Bumper in Aus 😎😉

Excellent questions, here are our answers: 1. We are unable to make any claims in regards to whether this will affect crash safety. Our opinion is that the tube brackets are part of the skid plates, to prevent the thin factory plates from bending too far. These brackets that the factory plates mount to are different across Prado 150, 150 KDSS, FJ and are not present on Prado 120. Any aftermarket bash plate that is installed will add a lot more stiffness and strength compared with factory bash plates, and the same question could be asked about crash safety regardless of whether the tube brackets are present or not when bash plates are fitted. Our design, which removes the tube brackets, would be closer to the factory configuration compared with having the bash plates as well as the tube brackets. 2. Our test was to allow customers to compare materials. Testing performance of the bash plate itself would depend on other variables such as design, folds, and vehicle mounting points. We can influence initial deflection upon impact with things such as bracing, clearances to components and intentional contact points which transfer loads without causing bending. As a general guide, we design our guards with increased clearance to critical components such as sumps and radiators. Hope that helps!

It's a beautiful metallic, isn't it!

We haven't been able to test fitment with the Factory Commercial bar, so I'm afraid we cannot confirm this for sure. However if our Recovery Points fit, the team are reasonably sure that the X700 UVP will too.
