Description
Ineos Grenadier / Quartermaster (2023–Present) — Set of 4 Aluminium Bash Plates
Extended Underbody Protection: Engine/Transmission/Catalytic Converter, Transfer Case, Radius Arm & Front Differential
Combined Weight: 29.6 kg
The Grenadier and Quartermaster are built to tackle the toughest terrain on the planet, but even these purpose-built machines benefit from additional underbody armour when you're pushing them through Australia's most demanding tracks. This RIVAL 4x4 Set of 4 Aluminium Bash Plates extends your protection beyond the basics, covering the engine and transmission, transfer case, radius arms, and front differential. It's the right choice for owners who want comprehensive drivetrain coverage without the full six-plate commitment — and the bundle pricing makes it a smart investment for your next outback adventure.

What's Protected
- Engine, Transmission & Catalytic Converter Bash Plate — This comprehensive front plate protects the three most expensive components in the Grenadier's front drivetrain. The BMW inline-six engine, ZF gearbox, and catalytic converter are all shielded from rock strikes, stumps, and trail debris. A single unprotected impact to any of these components can result in a five-figure repair bill.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — The Grenadier's permanent 4WD transfer case is the backbone of its off-road capability. Sitting low and central beneath the vehicle, it's constantly exposed to rocks and ruts. A damaged transfer case means no four-wheel drive — and in the Australian bush, that can mean no way out.
- Radius Arm Bash Plate — The solid front axle's radius arms extend forward and sit exposed to lateral impacts from rocks, logs, and trail edges. A bent radius arm destroys steering alignment and compromises vehicle control at any speed. This plate provides a critical safety shield.
- Front Differential Bash Plate — The front diff hangs low on the beam axle, right in the firing line when approaching rock ledges, creek beds, and rutted trails. A cracked differential housing leaks gear oil and disables front-wheel drive. This plate protects a component that's both expensive and essential.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Optimisation: Four plates at 29.6 kg total — aluminium lets you add protection without sacrificing the payload capacity you need for expedition gear.
- Built-In Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium's natural oxide layer provides permanent rust protection — no coatings to chip, no bare metal to corrode after water crossings.
- Smart Impact Management: Aluminium flexes on impact, spreading force across the plate surface and reducing stress on the Grenadier's chassis mounting points.
- Precision Engineering: Deep-stamped 6mm alloy delivers serious protection at a weight the vehicle is designed to carry comfortably.

Built for Australian Conditions
Grenadier owners take their vehicles where other 4WDs fear to tread, and Australian terrain is unforgiving. From the sharp granite boulder fields of the Snowy Mountains to the corrugated red-earth tracks of the Pilbara, from Cape York's notorious river crossings to the limestone ridges of the Nullarbor, every expedition tests your underbody. RIVAL 4x4 bash plates are designed for this exact punishment — with finishes that resist salt, dust, and humidity, and ventilated designs that maintain mechanical temperatures in extreme Australian heat.
