Installation Manual - Click here
Combined Weight: 4.0 kg
When you’re pushing your Suzuki Jimny across Blue Mountains in New South Wales, every component beneath the vehicle is exposed to rocks, ruts, and hidden obstacles. This targeted 2-plate set protects your Rear Differential and Fuel Tank — two of the Jimny’s most exposed and critical components. The rear diff sits low and catches rocks on every obstacle, while the fuel tank is vulnerable to puncture on rough terrain. This RIVAL 4x4 set delivers focused protection where your Jimny needs it most.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
-
Significant Weight Savings — At just 4.0 kg combined, this set adds virtually no weight to your Jimny — critical for its compact suspension and tight GVM limits.
-
Superior Corrosion Resistance — Aluminium naturally resists rust — even when the powder coat is scratched. Perfect for beach driving and creek crossings.
-
Excellent Energy Absorption — Aluminium’s flex characteristics absorb impact energy rather than transmitting forces into the chassis.
-
Engineered for Lightweight Vehicles — Every kilogram counts on the Jimny. Aluminium delivers real protection without overloading your suspension.

Australia’s off-road environment is among the harshest on earth. From the razor-sharp rocks of Cape York to corrugated desert tracks, your Jimny’s underside faces relentless punishment.
