Aluminium Engine (Part 2) Bash Plate — Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 150 (2009–Present)
Weight: 9.2 kg
When you're exploring the ancient Finke River bed, where some of the oldest geological formations on Earth create brutal terrain for off-road travellers, your Toyota Prado's engine bay extends beyond what a single plate can protect. This Engine (Part 2) Bash Plate covers the rear section of the engine area, working with the Part 1 plate to provide complete front-to-back engine protection. The RIVAL 4x4 Engine (Part 2) Bash Plate delivers precision-engineered protection for the rear section of your engine bay — extending protection to cover the full length of your powerplant. Crafted from deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this 9.2 kg plate completes your Prado's engine armour system.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Savings: Aluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel — important for the Prado where seven-seat configurations and touring loads push GVM boundaries.
- Corrosion Resistance: Unlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer. Combined with powder coating, your bash plate won't rust — even after years of harsh exposure.
- Energy Absorption: Aluminium's natural flex absorbs and distributes impact energy across the plate rather than transferring jolts to the engine block and rear engine mount.
- Modern Vehicle Design: The Prado balances off-road capability with family comfort. Aluminium protection maintains that balance without adding unnecessary mass.

Built for Australian Conditions
The Toyota Prado 150 is one of the most common vehicles on serious Australian tracks. Whether it's a family heading to Cape York, grey nomads crossing the Nullarbor, or weekend warriors tackling the High Country, Prados are expected to handle everything. The engine bay on these vehicles needs two plates for complete coverage, and RIVAL delivers both.
The deep-stamped construction creates integrated stiffening ribs for up to two times the impact resistance of flat-plate designs. The powder coat finish resists UV, salt corrosion, and the abrasive red dust of outback Australia.
Perfect For
- Long-distance outback touring — Cape York, Gibb River Road, Simpson Desert
- Coastal driving where salt air accelerates corrosion on exposed engine components
- Family touring across national parks and unsealed roads
- Serious off-road adventures including rock crawling, river crossings, and rutted tracks
- Daily driving with peace of mind knowing your engine rear section is protected
