High-quality, Australian designed and manufactured, Under Vehicle Protection (Bash Plates) for the Isuzu D-MAX (2021 onwards).
The two front plate options available with this kit (Type 1 and Type 2) have been designed to fit with or without, the popular ARB Recovery Points being fitted to these vehicles. They'll also fit with Roadsafe recovery points.
These UVP kits are literally as good as they get.
Designed in partnership with Milford Industries and manufactured by Milford Industries in Adelaide, our D-MAX UVP is made from 6mm thick aluminium, which makes it as strong as 4mm mild steel and around 8kg lighter than an identical four plate set made out of 3mm mild steel or stainless.
The three plate kit is a direct replacement for the factory UVP and is not only infinitely stronger, it only weighs around 5kgs more. If you're D-MAX is getting up around it's GVM when loaded, this is the UVP you need.
Our design required an aluminium alloy that had superior formability properties. Where some other kits use 6mm 5052 aluminium, Milford's testing revealed that it was prone to cracking when being bent, and wasn't really suitable, from a quality and longevity perspective. Our plates are made from 5005 H34 aluminium, and it comes with some interesting benefits, which include a flexural rigidity measurement (resistance to bending) that is the equivalent of 4.2mm mild steel, with a weight difference of 94 percent.
Fitting is straightforward and being light weight, each plate is easy to remove and replace when access is needed for servicing. We've even had an Isuzu dealer test fit these plates, and they found them easy to handle and super easy to remove and replace for servicing.
