Mitsubishi Triton L200 (2015–2023) / Pajero Sport (2015–Present) — Bash Plate Set — Engine, Radiator & Transmission
Essential Underbody Protection: Engine, Radiator & Transmission Bash Plates
Combined Weight: 22.7 kg
Not every Triton or Pajero Sport owner needs the full underbody treatment — but every single one needs the front drivetrain protected. The engine, radiator, and transmission are the three components that, if struck by a rock, will end your trip on the spot with no warning and no second chance. This RIVAL 4x4 Set of 3 Bash Plates covers these critical front-end components with precision-fit protection that bolts directly to factory mounting points. Whether you're running corrugated roads to a campsite or navigating rocky fire trails on the weekend, this set delivers the essential protection your Mitsubishi needs.

What's Protected
- Engine Bash Plate — The 2.4-litre diesel engine's sump sits low and exposed, with only minimal factory shielding. A rock impact to the oil pan causes rapid oil loss that leads to engine seizure within minutes. In remote areas, that's the difference between driving home and waiting for an expensive recovery vehicle. This plate covers the entire engine underside.
- Radiator Bash Plate — The radiator takes hits from stones, branches, and debris kicked up by the front tyres and flung from the trail. Its thin aluminium fins puncture easily, and even a small leak will overheat the engine rapidly. This plate protects your cooling system from both frontal and underbody impacts.
- Transmission Bash Plate — The gearbox casing extends behind the engine, exposed to rocks and ruts that clear the engine plate. Whether manual or automatic, a cracked transmission housing means fluid loss and a complete loss of drive. This plate provides a dedicated shield for the entire gearbox assembly.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Lightweight Protection: Three plates at just 22.7 kg keeps your Triton well within its GVM limit — critical for a vehicle many owners run close to capacity with tools and gear.
- Natural Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium forms a protective oxide layer that resists rust from water crossings, salt spray, and tropical conditions without additional treatment.
- Controlled Flex: Aluminium absorbs impact energy through controlled deformation, distributing force rather than concentrating it on chassis mounting points.
- Smart Engineering: 6mm aluminium provides robust protection at a significant weight saving over equivalent steel plates.

Built for Australian Conditions
Tritons and Pajero Sports work hard across every corner of Australia — from the wet clay tracks of the Atherton Tablelands to the rocky descents around Broken Hill, from coastal sand tracks in South Australia to the corrugated red-dirt highways of the Northern Territory. RIVAL 4x4 bash plates are engineered to handle this relentless abuse. The corrosion-resistant powder coat withstands salt air, tropical humidity, and endless dust, while the ventilated construction keeps engine bay temperatures manageable during slow-speed hill climbs and river crossings in summer.
