At 33.3kg combined, this aluminium set delivers comprehensive front-to-mid underbody coverage without the weight penalty of steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll three plates are constructed from 6mm deep-stamped aluminium alloy, precision laser-cut for a direct factory fit, and finished in a textured matte black powder coat for long-term corrosion and UV resistance. Installation is bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling, cutting, or permanent modification required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"product-meta__title heading h1\"\u003eEngine, Transmission \u0026amp; Transfer Case\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat’s protected:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-turn-id-container=\"7c839de7-693d-4e69-90a5-854f82bff486\" data-is-intersecting=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-(--sticky-padding-top)\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"7c839de7-693d-4e69-90a5-854f82bff486\" data-turn-id-container=\"7c839de7-693d-4e69-90a5-854f82bff486\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-3\" data-turn=\"user\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:6213cee4-4133-4041-b55b-3ee46f13b8ad-1\" data-is-intersecting=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"request-WEB:6213cee4-4133-4041-b55b-3ee46f13b8ad-1\" data-turn-id-container=\"request-WEB:6213cee4-4133-4041-b55b-3ee46f13b8ad-1\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-4\" data-turn=\"assistant\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-15 [--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-xs,calc(var(--spacing)*4))] @w-sm\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-sm,calc(var(--spacing)*6))] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-margin:var(--thread-content-margin-lg,calc(var(--spacing)*16))] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-conversation-screenshot-content=\"\" class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] @w-lg\/main:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col gap-4 grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"86923e48-36ef-46df-b097-e341bc6f3148\" dir=\"auto\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-5\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal outline-none keyboard-focused:focus-ring [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-turn-start-message=\"true\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert wrap-break-word w-full light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"jqqrr0\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"21\"\u003eEngine Bash Plate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"22\" data-end=\"417\"\u003eThe engine sump is one of the lowest and most exposed components underneath your D-Max, making it highly vulnerable to rocks, ruts, and unexpected trail obstacles.
