Front bash plates

The front underside of a 4WD takes the first hit from rocks, logs and ruts. A front bash plate covers that area, protecting components that factory plastic shields can't. This collection lists front plates from PHAT Bars.

What a front bash plate does

A bash plate bolts beneath the front of the vehicle and lets it slide over obstacles instead of catching. It helps protect the steering, front of the engine and cooling components from damage that could end a trip.

Before you buy

  • Check compatibility with your bull bar, as some bars need a matching plate.
  • Confirm the plate suits your vehicle and model years.
  • Look for access holes for servicing, which save time on oil changes.

Full underbody protection

A front plate is often the first part of a full set. Browse all bash plates and complete bash plate sets, or see the full PHAT Bars range.

Fitting notes

Bash plates are usually bolted to existing chassis points, and the product page lists what's included. Check the plate after a rough trip for loose bolts or damage.
