At 9.2 kg of deep-stamped 6mm aluminium, this plate is serious insurance for the component you can least afford to lose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength 6mm Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit — Vehicle-Specific Design for Triton\/Pajero Sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Full Engine Sump Coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Airflow \u0026amp; Debris Drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm Deep-Stamped High-Strength Aluminium Alloy (5251 grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textured Matte Black Polymer Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mitsubishi Triton L200 (2015-2023) \/ Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (2015–Present)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Aluminium Over Steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Savings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel, keeping your Triton or Pajero Sport within GVM limits when loaded for work or adventure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer.

Crafted from deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this 8.2 kg plate safeguards the component that makes your Mitsubishi a genuine all-terrain vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength 6mm Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit — Vehicle-Specific Design for Triton\/Pajero Sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Full Transfer Case Coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Airflow \u0026amp; Debris Drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm Deep-Stamped High-Strength Aluminium Alloy (5251 grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textured Matte Black Polymer Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mitsubishi Triton L200 (2015-2023) \/ Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (2015–Present)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Aluminium Over Steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Savings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel, preserving the Triton's payload and the Pajero Sport's passenger comfort without compromising GVM.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer.

Crafted from deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this 7.8 kg plate shields the component that connects your engine's power to the wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength 6mm Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit — Vehicle-Specific Design for Hilux\/Fortuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Complete Gearbox Protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Airflow \u0026amp; Debris Drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm Deep-Stamped High-Strength Aluminium Alloy (5251 grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.8 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textured Matte Black Polymer Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toyota Hilux (2005-2015) \/ Toyota Fortuner (2011-2015)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Aluminium Over Steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Savings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel, keeping your Hilux or Fortuner within GVM while maximising payload for gear and passengers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer.

Crafted from deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this substantial 17.5 kg plate provides comprehensive coverage for the entire transmission housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength 6mm Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit — Vehicle-Specific Design for VW Amarok (2010–2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Complete Gearbox Protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Airflow \u0026amp; Debris Drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm Deep-Stamped High-Strength Aluminium Alloy (5251 grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17.5 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textured Matte Black Polymer Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e VW Amarok (2010–2016) 4x4 models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Aluminium Over Steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Savings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Even at 17.5 kg, aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than an equivalent steel plate would be, preserving your Amarok's payload capacity for touring gear and tools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer.

Crafted from deep-stamped 4mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this plate provides reliable protection while maintaining the RAV4's lightweight, fuel-efficient character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength 4mm Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit — Vehicle-Specific Design for Toyota RAV4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Differential Housing Protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Airflow \u0026amp; Debris Drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4mm Deep-Stamped High-Strength Aluminium Alloy (5251 grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Textured Matte Black Polymer Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toyota RAV4 (2019-Present), all variants including Hybrid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Aluminium Over Steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Savings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel, which is especially important for a mid-size SUV like the RAV4 where every kilogram counts toward fuel economy and handling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer.
