Covering the engine, radiator, transmission, and transfer case, this set protects every component in the drivetrain chain from front to centre — the components that, if damaged, will leave you stranded on the side of a track in the middle of nowhere. At 29.6 kg combined, it adds meaningful protection without breaking the bank or the GVM limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e✓ Complete Underbody Protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ 4-Plate Drivetrain Protection System\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 — Save vs Individual Plates\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 Triton's engine sump is made of thin aluminium that cracks easily under impact. A rock strike at even moderate speed can split the oil pan, draining oil in minutes and seizing the engine. This plate provides a robust shield across the entire engine underside, absorbing impacts that would otherwise be catastrophic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRadiator Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— Every stone kicked up from the trail takes aim at the radiator first. The thin-walled cooling core punctures easily, and once it does, the engine overheats within minutes.

A compromised housing leaks fluid and leads to complete gearbox failure.
