Aluminium Transfer Case Bash Plate — Mitsubishi Triton L200 (2015-2023) / Pajero Sport (2015–Present)
Weight: 8.2 kg
When you're grinding along the powerline tracks near Mundaring, where loose gravel and rutted clay shelves sit at perfect height to catch your underbody, your Mitsubishi Triton or Pajero Sport's transfer case is exposed to constant punishment. Mitsubishi's Super Select 4WD system is one of the most versatile in the class — but it depends entirely on a healthy transfer case. The RIVAL 4x4 Transfer Case Bash Plate delivers precision-engineered protection for your transfer case — the heart of your 4WD system that splits power between front and rear axles. 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.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
-
Weight Savings: Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel, preserving the Triton's payload and the Pajero Sport's passenger comfort without compromising GVM.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer. Combined with powder coating, your bash plate won't rust — even after years of salt-air exposure, water crossings, and outback dust.
-
Energy Absorption: Aluminium's natural flex absorbs and distributes impact energy across the plate rather than transferring jolts to the transfer case housing and Super Select mechanism.
-
Modern Vehicle Design: Both the Triton and Pajero Sport operate near their GVM when loaded. Aluminium protection adds security without pushing weight limits.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Triton and Pajero Sport share their drivetrain and are enormously popular across Australia. Whether it's a Triton on a building site, a Pajero Sport doing the school run during the week and tackling bush tracks on weekends, or either vehicle loaded up for a long-distance touring adventure — the transfer case is always exposed to the terrain below.
RIVAL bash plates are engineered for Australian conditions. The deep-stamped construction creates stiffening ribs for superior impact resistance. The powder coat finish resists UV degradation, salt corrosion, and the abrasive conditions that Australian vehicles face daily.
Perfect For
- Long-distance outback touring — Cape York, Gibb River Road, Simpson Desert
- Coastal driving where salt air accelerates corrosion on exposed drivetrain components
- Tradies and fleet vehicles operating on construction sites, farms, and mining roads
- Family adventures in the Pajero Sport across fire trails and unsealed roads
- Daily driving with peace of mind knowing your transfer case is protected from road debris
