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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Protected\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRadiator Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — First in line for frontal impacts.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Radiator Bash Plate (Steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Engine Bash Plate (Steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Transmission Bash Plate (Steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Transfer Case Bash Plate (Steel)\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 to moderate — suitable for home mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTools Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e Basic hand tools, vehicle ramps or jack stands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTime:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allow approximately 2–3 hours to fit all four plates in one session\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e None — all plates bolt to existing factory mounting points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFord Everest Next Gen (2022–Present)\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ambiente, Trend, Sport, Platinum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.0L Bi-Turbo Diesel, 3.0L V6 Turbo Diesel | Automatic | 4WD\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 vehicle before you order.
