Description
Nissan Patrol Y63 (2024–Present) Bash Plate Set — Radiator, Engine & Transmission
Protects: Radiator, Engine & Transmission
Combined Weight: 20.3 kg
The new Nissan Patrol Y63 is a formidable machine, but even the most capable 4WD needs its most vulnerable underbody components protected. This RIVAL 4x4 three-piece bash plate set targets the radiator, engine and transmission — the trio of components that sit lowest and take the most punishment during off-road driving. Crafted from 6mm aluminium and weighing just 20.3 kg, it's a balanced package that provides essential drivetrain protection for Y63 owners who want front-to-gearbox coverage without the full four-plate kit. For many Patrol owners, this is all the protection they need for confident touring across Australia.
- ✓ Complete Underbody Protection — Radiator, Engine & Transmission Coverage
- ✓ High-Strength 6mm Aluminium Alloy Construction
- ✓ Precision Fit for Nissan Patrol Y63 (2024–Present)
- ✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish
- ✓ Ventilated Design for Optimal Airflow
- ✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required
- ✓ Cost-Effective Bundle — Save vs Buying Individually
What's Protected
- Radiator Bash Plate — The Y63's large-capacity radiator handles the cooling demands of its twin-turbo V6, but it's mounted in the firing line of every stone and stick kicked up by the front tyres. A compromised radiator means overheating and a forced stop — potentially in the worst possible location. This plate provides robust aluminium shielding across the full radiator area.
- Engine Bash Plate — The Patrol's advanced twin-turbo engine is a precision powerplant with a sump that sits exposed to underbody hazards. A cracked sump on a brand-new Y63 would be devastating — both financially and practically. This plate absorbs rock strikes and debris impacts, keeping the lower engine block fully protected.
- Transmission Bash Plate — The 9-speed automatic gearbox is a high-tech component that expects a clean, impact-free environment. Trail rocks and debris don't respect that expectation. A damaged transmission housing leads to fluid loss and potential gearbox failure. This plate extends protection seamlessly behind the engine plate, closing the gap in your underbody armour.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Savings: At 20.3 kg for three plates, aluminium adds minimal weight to the already hefty Y63. Your Patrol's suspension, brakes and fuel consumption remain effectively unchanged.
- Corrosion Resistance: The Y63 is built to last for decades. Aluminium bash plates match that longevity — no rust, no corrosion, no degradation, regardless of the conditions they face.
- Energy Management: Aluminium absorbs and distributes impact forces through controlled flex, cushioning the components behind each plate rather than transferring the full force of every rock strike to the chassis.
- Premium Protection for a Premium Vehicle: The Y63 represents Nissan's finest. RIVAL 4x4's 6mm aluminium plates provide protection that matches the Patrol's premium quality and engineering standard.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Patrol has always been at home in Australia's toughest environments, and the Y63 takes that tradition further. From the tidal flats of the Gulf of Carpentaria to the rocky escarpments of the Blue Mountains, from the red sand plains of the Tanami to the storm-lashed coasts of Tasmania — the Patrol thrives where other vehicles fear to tread. RIVAL 4x4's 6mm aluminium plates are purpose-built for this diversity of conditions, resisting corrosion, impact and the relentless wear that Australia's landscape inflicts on everything beneath a vehicle.
