Product Info
Protect the front differential on your Toyota LandCruiser 76, 78, or 79 Series (11/2016 onwards) with this Gen-2 weld-on low profile diff guard, designed for vehicles that see hard use on rough Australian tracks. The factory diff housing sits low and exposed, making it highly vulnerable to rock strikes, ledges, and washouts.
Manufactured from 5 mm 350GR mild steel, the Gen-2 weld-on design provides a permanent, ultra-secure solution that absorbs direct impacts and deflects obstacles. The upgraded design also adds extra clearance between the diff housing and panhard rod, allowing aftermarket panhard rods with larger locking nuts to fit without interference, while still providing maximum protection for the differential housing and crown wheel.
This Gen-2 design is ideal for drivers tackling rocky climbs, rutted fire trails, station tracks, or heavy touring loads where diff strikes are common. A damaged front diff can end a trip instantly and lead to costly repairs or recovery. Fitting a dedicated diff guard is cheap insurance that keeps your LandCruiser moving forward, even when conditions get rough. Supplied in a raw finish, it is ready for welding and optional coating to suit your build.
Key Benefits
Important Notes
If your 70 Series regularly sees rocky terrain or demanding off-road conditions, this Gen-2 low profile diff guard is a must-have upgrade. Protect one of the most critical drivetrain components and drive with confidence knowing your front diff is properly defended.

PPD Performance exhausts comprise of mandrel bent, stainless pipe work, delivering uncompromising flow, performance, and sound. Mandrel bending involves placing a mandrel inside the piping, before it is bent to shape. In comparison; cheaper press bending from other manufacturers squashes the tube as it is bent, reducing flow.
Tired of your mild steel exhaust systems rusting out after a year or less? Time to shop for a stainless steel system? There’s still some things you need to be aware of. Our competitors typically advertise their exhaust products as stainless steel. Most don't stipulate the differences between ferretic 409 grade stainless steel and austenitic 304 stainless steel.
Significant differences exist between the metals that make one better for performance exhaust applications than the other. Let us explain
The corrosion resistance of your 4x4 exhaust depends on the content of chromium and nickel found in the alloy. 409 grade stainless steel is used by many manufactures due to its medium strength, formability and very low cost. Typically, 409 grade stainless steel has a chromium content of between 10.50% - 11.75% and a nickel content of less 0.50%.
Why do we use 304 grade stainless steel piping for 4x4 performance exhausts? Because it is more resistant to rusting than ferretic based stainless steels such as 409. However, because of its low ferrous content, 304 can develop a golden colour when exposed to high heat over time. In fact, the ferrous metal content is so low that magnets won’t stick to it, making the identification of 409 and 304 grade stainless steel very easy.
Put simply, 304 grade stainless is the best value material used in the 4x4 exhaust game when strength, corrosion resistance and performance are at the top of your list of priorities.
Type 304 steel is engineered with chromium and nickel content and proves to be resistant to oxidation, corrosion, and durability.
Together with a polished finish - it is a great choice for your 4x4 offering excellent corrosion resistance from exhaust emissions, moisture and beach exposure.
All PPD Performance exhausts are designed to follow the same orientation and layout as the factory exhaust, making for easy bolt on installations. Our systems utilise the standard hanger locations, which means you don't have to use anything other than the factory rubbers.
