Description
Ineos Grenadier / Quartermaster (2023–Present) — Set of 6 Aluminium Bash Plates
Maximum Underbody Protection: Engine/Transmission/Catalytic Converter, Transfer Case, Radius Arm, Front Differential, Rear Differential & Fuel Tank
Combined Weight: 46.6 kg
The Ineos Grenadier was engineered without compromise for off-road capability, and this RIVAL 4x4 Set of 6 Aluminium Bash Plates provides protection to match. This is the ultimate underbody armour package for the Grenadier and Quartermaster — six precision-fit plates shielding every critical component from the engine at the front to the fuel tank and rear differential at the back. If you're building a Grenadier for the Canning Stock Route, the Kimberley's remote gorges, or an extended Outback expedition, this comprehensive set ensures nothing beneath your vehicle is left to chance. The complete bundle delivers outstanding value over purchasing each plate separately.

What's Protected
- Engine, Transmission & Catalytic Converter Bash Plate — This all-in-one front plate covers the three most critical and expensive components in the front drivetrain. The engine sump, gearbox housing, and catalytic converter are all shielded by a single comprehensive plate that deflects rock strikes, absorbs impacts, and keeps your front end intact on the roughest trails.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — The permanent 4WD transfer case sits centrally and low, distributing power between both axles. It's the one component that, if damaged, disables your entire four-wheel drive system. This plate provides dedicated protection where it matters most.
- Radius Arm Bash Plate — The Grenadier's solid front axle uses radius arms for location. These arms extend forward and are exposed to side impacts from rocks and logs. A bent or damaged radius arm throws out steering alignment and compromises vehicle control. This plate keeps them safe.
- Front Differential Bash Plate — Mounted low on the front beam axle, the front diff is in the direct path of rocks when approaching obstacles. A cracked diff housing causes gear oil loss and disables front-wheel drive. This plate ensures your front axle stays operational.
- Rear Differential Bash Plate — The rear diff is equally exposed, particularly on rock ledges and steep departures. As the primary drive axle, rear diff damage is catastrophic. This plate protects the component that keeps you moving forward.
- Fuel Tank Bash Plate — The fuel tank carries your entire fuel supply and spans a large area beneath the vehicle. In remote Australia, a punctured fuel tank is a genuine survival situation. This plate provides heavy-duty protection to your most strategically important component on long-range expeditions.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Critical Weight Savings: Six plates at 46.6 kg — a steel equivalent would push well past 75 kg. On a loaded expedition vehicle, that weight difference means more water, fuel, and recovery gear.
- Corrosion Immunity: Aluminium's natural oxide layer provides lifelong rust protection — essential for a vehicle designed to tackle water crossings and operate in the tropics.
- Intelligent Impact Absorption: Aluminium's controlled flex dissipates energy across the plate surface, protecting the Grenadier's ladder-frame chassis from concentrated point loads.
- Purpose-Built Engineering: Deep-stamped 6mm alloy delivers exceptional strength at a weight the vehicle was designed to carry.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Grenadier was conceived for the world's harshest environments, and Australia delivers in spades. Sharp limestone on the Nullarbor, submerged boulders in Daintree river crossings, razor-edged sandstone in Kakadu, and the relentless corrugations of the Tanami Track — every expedition presents new threats to your underside. RIVAL 4x4 bash plates are engineered for exactly these conditions, with corrosion-resistant finishes that endure years of salt, humidity, and dust, and ventilated designs that maintain component temperatures during extended low-range work in extreme heat.
