A single hard impact to the transmission housing can crack the casing, drain the fluid, and leave you stranded far from help. The RIVAL 4x4 Aluminium Gearbox Bash Plate is precision-engineered for the Tank 300, bolting directly to factory mounting points to put a solid 6mm aluminium shield between the road and your drivetrain — without drilling, without permanent modifications, and without compromising ground clearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt from deep-stamped high-strength aluminium alloy with a sandblasted matte black powder coat finish, this plate is tough enough for serious off-road use while staying light enough to keep your Tank 300 performing as it should. At just 5.0 kg, it adds meaningful protection without affecting suspension geometry, fuel economy, or payload capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6mm high-strength aluminium alloy — precision laser-cut and deep-stamped for maximum rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandblasted + textured matte black powder coat — UV, salt, and corrosion resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVentilated design for optimal airflow and cooling around the gearbox\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully reversible installation — won't affect your vehicle warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 5.0 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment: GWM Tank 300 (2021–Present) — Petrol models only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Aluminium?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e40% lighter than steel\u003c\/strong\u003e — less load on your suspension, better fuel economy, and more GVM headroom for gear and recovery equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally corrosion resistant\u003c\/strong\u003e — aluminium's protective oxide layer combined with powder coating resists rust after coastal driving, water crossings, and tropical humidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnergy absorbing\u003c\/strong\u003e — distributes impact energy across the plate rather than transmitting it directly to the gearbox housing and mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngineered for modern 4WDs\u003c\/strong\u003e — keeps your Tank 300 performing within its designed weight targets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x RIVAL 4x4 Aluminium Gearbox Bash Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete mounting hardware, bolts, fasteners, and installation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Easy — suitable for experienced home mechanics or any 4WD workshop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTools Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e Basic hand tools — spanners and socket set, no specialist equipment needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — direct bolt-on to factory points, fully reversible\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGWM Tank 300 (2021–Present)\u003c\/strong\u003e — all variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.0L Turbo Petrol | Automatic Transmission | 4WD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePetrol models only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNeed Help Confirming Fitment?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur team is online via live chat and can confirm compatibility for your specific Tank 300 before you order.
