Full Underbody Bash Plate Setup for Ford Ranger Next Gen, Amarok & Everest

Complete Underbody Protection for Modern 4x4s

The latest generation of 4x4s — including the Ford Ranger Next Gen, VW Amarok (2023–present), and Ford Everest Next Gen — combine comfort, performance, and capability. But if you're heading off-road, these vehicles still need serious underbody protection.

That’s where Rival 4x4 comes in.
Our lightweight aluminum bash plates are engineered to guard vital components while preserving clearance and drivability.

Here’s what a full setup includes:

1. Radiator Bash Plate

The radiator sits low at the front — a vulnerable point on rough terrain.
This bash plate prevents sticks and rocks from damaging your cooling system.

2. Engine Bash Plate

Shields the sump and vital front components from direct impacts.

3. Transmission Bash Plate

Protects your gearbox housing from trail hazards and sharp terrain.

4. Transfer Case Plate

Secures one of the most critical drivetrain components, especially during low-range climbs.

5. Fuel Tank Plate

A must-have for long trips — prevents punctures and costly leaks.

6. Front Lower Control Arm Guards

Protects the suspension arms from deformation or stone strikes — vital for off-road stability.

Each part in the Rival 4x4 system is precision-cut and designed to bolt directly to OEM mounting points.
You can install the entire system quickly, with minimal tools and zero cutting.
