Mitsubishi's Super Select 4WD system is one of the most versatile in the class — but it depends entirely on a healthy transfer case. The RIVAL 4x4 Transfer Case Bash Plate delivers precision-engineered protection for your transfer case — the heart of your 4WD system that splits power between front and rear axles. Crafted from deep-stamped 6mm high-strength aluminium alloy, this 8.2 kg plate safeguards the component that makes your Mitsubishi a genuine all-terrain vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength 6mm Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit — Vehicle-Specific Design for Triton\/Pajero Sport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Full Transfer Case Coverage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Powder Coat Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Ventilated Design for Airflow \u0026amp; Debris Drainage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Bolt-On Installation — No Drilling Required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6mm Deep-Stamped High-Strength Aluminium Alloy (5251 grade)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8.2 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eTextured Matte Black Polymer Powder Coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDirect bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or chassis modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMitsubishi Triton L200 (2015-2023) \/ Mitsubishi Pajero Sport (2015–Present)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Aluminium Over Steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Savings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAluminium is approximately 40% lighter than steel, preserving the Triton's payload and the Pajero Sport's passenger comfort without compromising GVM.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrosion Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUnlike steel, aluminium naturally forms a protective oxide layer.
