Nissan Patrol Y62 (2010–Present) Bash Plate Set – Radiator, Engine, Transmission & Transfer Case
Full Drivetrain & Cooling Protection: 4-Piece Underbody Armour
Combined Weight: 21.0 kg
The Nissan Patrol Y62 is a full-size wagon with a full-size appetite for off-road adventure — and a full-size underbody that needs protecting. This RIVAL 4x4 four-piece bash plate set armours the radiator, engine, transmission, and transfer case with precision-fit aluminium plates, providing continuous coverage across the Patrol’s most critical mechanical systems. Whether you’re towing a camper through the red centre or tackling the deep ruts of a Cape York station track, four plates stand between your Y62’s drivetrain and disaster.

What's Protected
- Radiator Bash Plate — The Y62’s large radiator manages cooling for its 5.6L V8 engine — a powerplant that generates significant heat under load. A damaged radiator means rapid coolant loss and overheating, particularly dangerous when towing or climbing steep grades in hot conditions. This plate shields the radiator from frontal and underbody debris impacts.
- Engine Bash Plate — The Patrol’s V8 engine represents a substantial investment, and its oil sump sits exposed beneath the chassis. A cracked sump on a remote track means catastrophic oil loss and a seized engine — an outcome that’s as expensive as it is avoidable. This plate provides comprehensive coverage across the engine’s lower surface.
- Transmission Bash Plate — The Y62’s 7-speed automatic transmission is a precision component with a casing that’s vulnerable to underbody strikes. Impacts that crack or dent the housing cause fluid leaks and transmission malfunction. This plate maintains a solid barrier between trail hazards and the gearbox.
- Transfer Case Bash Plate — The transfer case is the nexus of the Patrol’s all-terrain capability, managing power distribution between front and rear axles. Damage here disables the 4WD system entirely. This plate guards the transfer case from rock strikes and debris, keeping your Y62’s legendary off-road ability intact.

Why Choose Aluminium Over Steel?
- Weight Savings: At 21.0 kg for four plates, this aluminium set is remarkably light for its coverage area — important for a vehicle that’s often loaded to GVM for touring.
- Corrosion Resistance: Aluminium’s natural resistance to rust means these plates will outlast steel alternatives in creek crossings, coastal conditions, and tropical humidity.
- Energy Management: Aluminium distributes impact forces effectively, protecting mounting hardware and chassis rails from the concentrated stress that can damage steel installations.
- Modern Vehicle Design: The Y62’s independent front suspension benefits from keeping unsprung and accessory weight to a minimum — aluminium delivers that.

Built for Australian Conditions
Patrol owners don’t take the easy roads — and Australia doesn’t offer many. From the spinifex-covered gibber plains of the Channel Country to the sharp-edged basalt of the Barkly Tablelands, the terrain under your Y62 is always hostile. Creek crossings in the Wet Top End, salt lakes in Western Australia, and the relentless corrugations of outback highways add moisture, corrosion, and vibration to the mix. RIVAL 4x4 bash plates are engineered for exactly this environment — Australian conditions, Australian-tested protection.
