Serious Underbody Protection for the Toyota Hilux
The Toyota Hilux is built tough — but even Toyota's legendary reliability has its limits when rocks and debris are hammering exposed drivetrain components at speed. Whether you're running corrugated outback tracks, navigating rocky descents, or working a vehicle hard on station roads, the factory underbody protection simply isn't enough. This RIVAL 4x4 set of two steel bash plates puts a heavy-duty steel barrier between the road and your radiator, engine, and transmission — the components that matter most.
At 3mm high-strength steel with a textured matte black powder coat finish, these plates are engineered to absorb and deflect the hardest impacts without deforming. They bolt straight to factory mounting points — no drilling, no cutting, no permanent modifications. Fit both plates in a single session and you're protected for the long haul.
What's Protected
- Radiator/Engine Bash Plate — A combined plate covering two of the most exposed components on the vehicle. The radiator cops frontal hits from stones and sticks, while the engine sump hangs low and vulnerable beneath the chassis. A punctured radiator or cracked sump in remote country can end a trip fast. This plate provides comprehensive front-to-engine coverage in a single piece of heavy-duty steel.
- Transmission Bash Plate — Sitting directly behind the engine, the transmission casing is exposed to rocks and ruts that clear the engine plate. Damage here means fluid loss and complete drivetrain failure — expensive and trip-ending. This steel plate takes the hit so your gearbox doesn't have to.

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 operating in the most punishing environments. It resists surface gouging from repeated rock contact and maintains structural integrity over years of hard use. For Hilux owners who need maximum impact resistance, steel is the straightforward answer.
