This RIVAL 4x4 four-plate set covers every critical powertrain component from the radiator through to the transfer case, ensuring your Hilux's cooling system, engine, gearbox and 4WD system are all shielded from the rocks, ruts and debris that define Australian off-road driving. At just 11 kg for four plates, it's protection you'll barely notice on the scales but will absolutely notice when you clear a rocky creek bed without a scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Complete Drivetrain Protection — Radiator, Engine, Transmission \u0026amp; Transfer Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ High-Strength Aluminium Alloy Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Precision Fit for Toyota Hilux (2005–2014)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✓ Corrosion-Resistant Matte Black 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\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Protected\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRadiator Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — Your Hilux's radiator is the gatekeeper of engine temperature. On dusty, rocky tracks it takes a constant barrage of debris that can crack fins, puncture cores and leave you stranded with an overheating engine. This plate provides full radiator coverage, deflecting stones and debris before they reach the cooling system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — The oil sump on the 2005–2014 Hilux sits exposed beneath the engine bay. One good rock strike can crack the sump, dump your oil and destroy the engine in minutes. This plate covers the entire lower engine area, absorbing impacts and keeping your engine's lifeblood where it belongs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransmission Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — The gearbox housing extends behind the engine, where it's vulnerable to anything the engine plate doesn't catch. A cracked transmission housing leads to fluid loss and potential gearbox failure. This plate closes the gap, providing continuous protection from engine to transmission.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransfer Case Bash Plate\u003c\/strong\u003e — Without the transfer case, your Hilux can't engage four-wheel drive or low range. On technical terrain, losing 4WD capability can turn a challenging track into a stranding situation. This plate shields the transfer case from direct rock strikes and rut impacts that could damage the housing or seals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-grade lightweight aluminium alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCombined Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matte black powder coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bolt-on to factory mounting points — no drilling or permanent modification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Plates:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 (Radiator + Engine + Transmission + Transfer Case)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toyota Hilux (2005–2014), Toyota Fortuner (2011–2015) — 4x4 variants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose Aluminium Over Steel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight Savings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Four plates at 11 kg combined is remarkably light.
