Weight: 6.0 kg

Your Toyota Hilux / Fortuner’s transmission takes a beating on every off-road adventure — especially on the unforgiving tracks around Moreton Island in southeast Queensland. Exposed beneath the vehicle, the transmission housing is a prime target for rocks, stumps, and washouts. One solid hit can crack the casing, leaving you with a catastrophic leak and no way forward. The RIVAL 4x4 Transmission Bash Plate is precision-engineered to shield this critical drivetrain component with an updated new design for improved coverage.
