Co-developed with Milford Industries, our Loaded 4X4 bash plates (Under Vehicle Protection) have a range of unique features, that make them a genuine upgrade for your MQ or MR Triton on many levels.
We started by researching the various material types that were suited to bash plate manufacturing and selected 3mm mild steel as being the best compromise between, robustness, weight and cost.
We then set about designing a full under body protection system that looks high-quality OEM and addresses the weaknesses in the Triton's stock bash plates.
Besides being massively stronger, our bash plates don't hamper airflow (many aftermarket UVP systems reduce airflow) and include a strengthening bracket for the weak factory front mounting points.
We've also included sump plug access and enough drain holes to ensure that mud, dust and sand doesn't accumulate around drivetrain components.
We've avoided over-complicating the design in an attempt to recess all of the bolt heads. In our experience, both as fitters and users of these types of plates in the past, they are more expensive, heavier, cumbersome to fit, reduce clearance and worst of all, act as mud/debris traps that can make removing corroded fixings at service time a nightmare.
Instead, we've added brackets with welded captive nuts, so that where possible, our plates tuck up above the chassis, or if exposed, don't pose a risk of damage to the captive nuts in the cross-member. Damaged plates, bolts and brackets can all be easily replaced if necessary.
Milford's proprietary ArmorTex coating - a high-tech coating designed to significantly outperform other paint/powder-coat treatments, ensures these plates will last longer than most people will keep their cars.
Each kit is made at Milford Industries in Adelaide using state of the art machinery and processes, and is backed by a 3-Year material and workmanship warranty.
