Description
Mitsubishi Triton L200 (2015–2023) / Pajero Sport (2015–Present) — Bash Plate Set — Engine, Radiator, Transmission & Transfer Case
Extended Underbody Protection: 4-Plate Set Covering Engine, Radiator, Transmission & Transfer Case
Combined Weight: 29.6 kg
For Mitsubishi Triton and Pajero Sport owners who take their vehicles beyond the blacktop regularly, this RIVAL 4x4 Set of 4 Bash Plates provides exactly the level of protection that separates a capable off-roader from a properly prepared one. Covering the engine, radiator, transmission, and transfer case, this set protects every component in the drivetrain chain from front to centre — the components that, if damaged, will leave you stranded on the side of a track in the middle of nowhere. At 29.6 kg combined, it adds meaningful protection without breaking the bank or the GVM limit.

What's Protected
- Engine Bash Plate — The Triton's engine sump is made of thin aluminium that cracks easily under impact. A rock strike at even moderate speed can split the oil pan, draining oil in minutes and seizing the engine. This plate provides a robust shield across the entire engine underside, absorbing impacts that would otherwise be catastrophic.
- Radiator Bash Plate — Every stone kicked up from the trail takes aim at the radiator first. The thin-walled cooling core punctures easily, and once it does, the engine overheats within minutes. This plate shields the radiator from frontal debris and underbody strikes alike.
- Transmission Bash Plate — Whether your Triton runs a manual or automatic gearbox, the transmission casing isn't designed to handle rock impacts. A compromised housing leaks fluid and leads to complete gearbox failure. This plate keeps the transmission safe from trail hazards.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — Mitsubishi's Super Select or Easy Select system relies on the transfer case to distribute power between axles. This centrally-mounted component sits right in the firing line of rocks and debris, and damage to it eliminates your four-wheel drive capability entirely. This plate provides dedicated coverage.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Advantage: Four plates totalling 29.6 kg means you keep more GVM headroom for gear, tools, and passengers — especially important on payload-limited Tritons.
- Rust-Free Performance: Aluminium naturally resists corrosion, making it ideal for vehicles that regularly tackle water crossings and operate in coastal or tropical environments.
- Impact Distribution: Aluminium's natural flex spreads impact energy across the plate, reducing stress on mounting hardware and the chassis.
- Engineering Excellence: 6mm aluminium alloy provides protection comparable to heavier steel at a significantly lower weight penalty.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Triton and Pajero Sport earn their keep across Australia's most demanding landscapes. From the rocky descents of the Blue Mountains to the corrugated roads of the Plenty Highway, from the sand tracks of Stockton Beach to the muddy trails of Gippsland, every surface threatens your underbody. RIVAL 4x4 bash plates are built to absorb this punishment year after year. The powder coat finish handles salt spray, dust, mud, and humidity without deterioration, and the ventilated design maintains healthy engine bay temperatures during slow-speed rock crawling in the summer heat.
