Collection: 70 Series Land Cruiser Bonnet Protectors (1984-1999)

1984-1999 70 SERIES BONNET PROTECTORS FOR HJ75, HZJ75, AND EARLY 79

PROTECT THE PRE-FACELIFT BONNET ON A CLASSIC CRUISER

1984-1999 70 Series bonnet protectors cover the era that ran the original short-front clip with round headlights and a flat narrow bonnet. The bonnet sits flat and wide at the front, which is exactly where stones, gravel, and bug splatter hit hardest at highway speed. After decades of farm and worksite use, the original paint on these older Cruisers has usually copped a fair beating. A tinted acrylic bonnet protector fits over the leading edge and redirects the airflow upward, deflecting stones up and over the windscreen rather than into the bonnet paintwork. For a 75 Series, 79 Series, or 73/74 owner trying to keep an ageing Cruiser presentable, a period-correct bonnet protector is one of the cheapest forms of paint insurance you can fit.

UV-STABILISED ACRYLIC WITH PERIOD-CORRECT FIT

Each 1984-1999 bonnet protector is moulded from impact-modified UV-stabilised acrylic. The dark tint hides bug splatter and minor surface marks between washes, and the acrylic resists yellowing, brittleness, and cracking through years of Aussie sun. The mould profile is matched specifically to the 1984 to 1999 bonnet shape, including the narrower leading edge and the round headlight cutouts of the era. Generic protectors cut for the later 78/79 V8 Series do not align properly on the older cabs. Installation uses supplied mounting hardware that grips the bonnet edge with no drilling into the panel, so the protector can be removed cleanly if you ever return the vehicle to original spec for restoration or resale.

SUITS HJ75, HZJ75, FZJ75, EARLY 79, 73/74, AND BUNDERA

This 1984-1999 70 Series bonnet protector covers a wide cross-fit window thanks to Toyota's shared front-clip design across the era. The 75 Series (HJ75, HZJ75, and FZJ75) ute and Troop Carrier are the main fitment target. The same bonnet shape carries across to the early 79 Series produced before the 1999 cab update, plus the 73 Series, 74 Series, and Bundera (RJ70/LJ70) variants. Each listing confirms exact body style and year range before you order. Vehicles built after the 1999 update use a different bonnet profile and need the 1999-2007 protector instead. Often purchased alongside 75 Series weather shields and 5x7 inch LED headlight upgrades as part of a complete front-end refresh.
