Description
Ineos Grenadier / Quartermaster (2023–Present) — Set of 3 Aluminium Bash Plates
Core Underbody Protection: Engine/Transmission/Catalytic Converter, Transfer Case & Radius Arm
Combined Weight: 24 kg
Every off-road build starts with protecting the essentials, and for the Ineos Grenadier and Quartermaster, the essentials are the engine, transfer case, and radius arms. These three plates from RIVAL 4x4 cover the core drivetrain components that sit most exposed beneath the Grenadier's flat underbody — the components whose failure would strand you instantly on any remote track. At just 24 kg combined, this set adds meaningful protection without significantly impacting your payload, making it the ideal foundation for Grenadier owners who want smart protection from day one. You can always add differential and fuel tank plates later.

What's Protected
- Engine, Transmission & Catalytic Converter Bash Plate — The Grenadier's BMW inline-six is a magnificent engine, but its oil sump, the ZF gearbox casing, and the catalytic converter are all exposed beneath the vehicle. One well-placed rock can damage any of these three components — each capable of ending your trip instantly. This comprehensive plate shields all three in a single piece of precision-engineered aluminium.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — The permanent 4WD system depends entirely on the transfer case to split power between axles. Mounted low and central, it's hit by every rock that slides beneath the front plate. Without this protection, a single trail impact can eliminate your four-wheel drive capability in the terrain that needs it most.
- Radius Arm Bash Plate — The Grenadier's beam-axle front suspension relies on radius arms for axle location. These arms extend forward and are vulnerable to side impacts from rocks, logs, and embedded boulders on narrow tracks. A damaged radius arm throws steering geometry off and makes the vehicle unpredictable at speed. This plate keeps these critical suspension components safe.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Lightweight Strength: Three plates at 24 kg total means minimal impact on your GVM, leaving capacity for the gear and supplies your expedition demands.
- Permanent Corrosion Protection: Aluminium naturally forms an oxide layer that never chips, flakes, or wears off — providing rust-free performance through years of water crossings and coastal driving.
- Impact Energy Management: Aluminium's controlled flex spreads impact force across the entire plate, reducing stress on individual mounting points and the chassis.
- Engineered for Modern Vehicles: 6mm aluminium alloy matches the Grenadier's own engineering philosophy — tough, capable, and weight-conscious.

Built for Australian Conditions
Australia's terrain puts every off-road vehicle to the test. The Grenadier is built to handle it, but its underbody still needs armour. From the jagged quartzite of the Larapinta Trail region to the rock-strewn descents of the Vic High Country, from corrugated outback highways to the tidal creek crossings of the Top End, RIVAL 4x4 bash plates are engineered for exactly these environments. The powder coat finish handles salt, dust, mud, and tropical humidity, while ventilated design maintains healthy component temperatures in extreme Australian heat.
