Description
Ineos Grenadier / Quartermaster (2023–Present) — Set of 5 Aluminium Bash Plates
Comprehensive Underbody Protection: Engine/Transmission/Catalytic Converter, Transfer Case, Radius Arm, Front Differential & Rear Differential
Combined Weight: 33.6 kg
The Ineos Grenadier was built from the ground up as a serious off-road machine, and owners who push their Grenadier or Quartermaster into the Australian bush expect nothing less than serious protection. This RIVAL 4x4 Set of 5 Aluminium Bash Plates covers the vital drivetrain components that factory protection leaves vulnerable — from the engine and catalytic converter at the front, through the transfer case and radius arms, to the front and rear differentials. It's comprehensive protection purpose-designed for a vehicle that was made to go places other 4WDs won't. The bundle price represents genuine savings over purchasing each plate individually.

What's Protected
- Engine, Transmission & Catalytic Converter Bash Plate — This comprehensive plate shields three critical components in one. The engine sump, gearbox housing, and catalytic converter are all exposed beneath the Grenadier's flat underbody. A rock strike to any one of these can end your trip instantly — whether through oil loss, transmission failure, or a destroyed exhaust system. This plate provides full-width coverage across the entire front drivetrain.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — The Grenadier's permanent 4WD system relies on its transfer case to distribute power between axles. This centrally-mounted component sits directly in the path of trail rocks and needs dedicated protection to keep you moving in all conditions.
- Radius Arm Bash Plate — The Grenadier's beam-axle front suspension uses radius arms that extend forward from the axle. These arms are exposed to side impacts from rocks and logs, and a bent radius arm severely compromises steering geometry and handling. This plate keeps them safe.
- Front Differential Bash Plate — The front diff sits low on the front axle, directly in the path of rocks during approach angles. A cracked diff housing means gear oil loss and the loss of front-wheel drive — this plate ensures your front axle stays intact.
- Rear Differential Bash Plate — The rear differential is equally vulnerable, especially on rock ledges and during departure angles. Protecting the rear diff ensures your primary drive axle keeps delivering power to the ground.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Savings: At 33.6 kg for five plates, aluminium keeps the total mass manageable. A steel equivalent would add significantly more weight, reducing payload capacity on long expeditions.
- Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium naturally resists rust — essential for a vehicle designed to tackle water crossings, coastal tracks, and tropical environments without worry.
- Energy Absorption: Aluminium's controlled flex spreads impact energy across the plate, reducing stress on mounting hardware and the Grenadier's ladder-frame chassis.
- Modern Engineering: 6mm deep-stamped aluminium alloy delivers protection comparable to thicker steel at a fraction of the weight — engineered to complement the Grenadier's purposeful design.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Grenadier was designed for the world's toughest terrain, and Australia certainly delivers. From the rocky creek beds of Cape York to the sharp limestone shelves of the Kimberley, from corrugated red-dirt roads in the Centre to submerged boulders in tropical river crossings, every expedition challenges your underbody. RIVAL 4x4 bash plates are engineered for exactly these conditions — with corrosion-resistant finishes that handle salt air, tropical humidity, and endless dust, plus ventilated designs that maintain component temperatures during extended low-range work in summer heat.
