VW Amarok 2010–2022 4x4 Engine Bash Plate – Aluminium
Weight: 7.5 kg
When you're navigating the tidal flats and mangrove tracks of Arnhem Land, the last thing you want to worry about is a rock or hidden obstacle smashing into your engine. Your engine sump is the lowest point under the bonnet and the first thing to contact rocks, logs, and debris on the trail. A punctured sump means catastrophic oil loss and a seized engine — protection is not optional for serious off-roading. Designed specifically for the VW Amarok, this RIVAL 4x4 high-strength aluminium alloy bash plate delivers precision-engineered protection that bolts directly to factory mounting points — no drilling, no permanent modifications, and no compromise on ground clearance.
