What’s Protected

- Transmission Bash Plate — Guards the transmission housing from impacts that can crack the casing or damage internal components — keeping your gearbox shifting smoothly.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — Armours the transfer case — the heart of your 4WD system — from rock strikes that can disable low-range capability when you need it most.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Significant Weight Savings — Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel, critical for the Jimny’s compact suspension system and tight GVM limits.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance — Aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer that resists rust — even when the powder coat is scratched. Essential for beach and creek crossings.
- Excellent Energy Absorption — Aluminium’s flex characteristics absorb and distribute impact energy rather than transmitting forces into the chassis.
- Engineered for Lightweight Vehicles — Every kilogram counts on the Jimny. Aluminium delivers serious protection without overloading suspension or affecting handling.
