The engine, radiator, and transmission are the three components that, if struck by a rock, will end your trip on the spot with no warning and no second chance. This RIVAL 4x4 Set of 3 Bash Plates covers these critical front-end components with precision-fit protection that bolts directly to factory mounting points. Whether you're running corrugated roads to a campsite or navigating rocky fire trails on the weekend, this set delivers the essential protection your Mitsubishi needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e✓ Complete Underbody Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ 3-Plate Front Drivetrain Coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength Aluminium Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit for Triton \u0026amp; Pajero Sport\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\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Protected\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— The 2.4-litre diesel engine's sump sits low and exposed, with only minimal factory shielding. A rock impact to the oil pan causes rapid oil loss that leads to engine seizure within minutes. In remote areas, that's the difference between driving home and waiting for an expensive recovery vehicle.
