This RIVAL 4x4 two-plate set delivers targeted aluminium armour for the radiator and engine, the two most forward and most exposed components on the Y62’s substantial underbody. At an incredibly light 4.0 kg combined, it’s protection you can fit and forget — adding virtually nothing to the scales while delivering genuine peace of mind on every trip, from the sealed highways to the rocky outback trails beyond Broken Hill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Complete Underbody Protection — Radiator \u0026amp; Engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength Aluminium Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit for Nissan Patrol Y62 (2010–Present)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Optimal Airflow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Cost-Effective Bundle — Save vs Buying Individually\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Protected\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRadiator Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— The Y62’s radiator handles the cooling demands of a 5.6L V8 engine. Positioned at the front of the underbody, it’s the first component to encounter rocks, branches, and debris. A punctured radiator core means coolant loss and rapid overheating — a scenario that escalates quickly when you’re towing in hot conditions. This plate provides a critical barrier between trail hazards and your cooling system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— The Patrol’s VK56VD V8 is the most valuable mechanical component in the vehicle. Its oil sump sits low and exposed, directly in the firing line on uneven terrain. A breached sump leads to oil starvation and catastrophic engine failure — an outcome measured in thousands of dollars.
