This RIVAL 4x4 three-piece bash plate set covers the radiator, engine, and transmission — the front-three components that take the most punishment on rough terrain. At a remarkably light 8.5 kg combined, it’s underbody armour that your Patrol won’t even notice carrying, yet it provides a critical line of defence when you’re picking through rock gardens on the Madigan Line or navigating eroded station tracks across the Gulf country.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Complete Underbody Protection — Radiator, Engine \u0026amp; Transmission\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 large-capacity radiator works hard to cool the 5.6L V8, especially when towing or climbing in hot conditions. A stone through the core means instant coolant loss and overheating.
