Full Underbody Armour for the VW Amarok
If you're running a VW Amarok on mine site haul roads, station tracks, outback corrugations, or technical off-road terrain, the factory underbody protection simply isn't up to the job. This RIVAL 4x4 set of four steel bash plates covers the four most critical components — radiator, engine, transmission, and transfer case — in one complete, cost-effective bundle.
At 3mm high-strength steel with a textured matte black powder coat finish, these plates are built to absorb and deflect rock strikes, debris, and hard impacts without deforming. They bolt directly to factory mounting points — no drilling, no cutting, no permanent modifications. Install all four in a single session and you're done.
What's Protected
- Radiator Bash Plate — First in line for frontal impacts. A single rock through the radiator core means overheating and a roadside breakdown. This plate puts a steel wall between the road and your cooling system.
- Engine Bash Plate — The sump and oil pan sit low and exposed. A rock strike here risks oil loss, overheating, and engine seizure. This plate guards your most expensive component.
- Transmission Bash Plate — The auto gearbox housing is precision-cast aluminium — it cracks on impact. Transmission damage means no drive and a four-figure repair bill. This plate covers the entire gearbox underside.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — Sitting low and central, the transfer case cops rocks that pass under the engine and gearbox. Damage here disables your 4WD system — the worst place for it to happen.

Why Steel?
Steel's rigidity means it absorbs and deflects hard rock strikes without deforming — the material of choice for mining, construction, and pastoral fleets that operate in the most punishing environments day in, day out. It resists surface gouging from repeated rock contact and maintains structural integrity over years of hard use. And compared to alloy, steel bash plates deliver serious protection at a more accessible price point.
