Ironman 4x4 Aluminium Underbody Protection - Toyota Hilux Travo 2026+

Short Product Summary

Ironman 4x4 aluminium underbody protection, part UBP138-AL, made for the Toyota Hilux Travo (Next Gen) 2026 onwards. It is a 5mm aluminium bash plate that weighs about 59% less than a steel plate of the same kind, so it shields the underside without adding much weight up front.

Why This Product

A bash plate is a sensible safeguard against a rock strike on the engine, gearbox or transfer case. The aluminium version keeps the protection but is far lighter than a steel plate, which matters on a vehicle like the Hilux Travo (Next Gen) that already carries a bar, a winch or a full load of gear.

Key Features

• 5mm aluminium plate – a heavy-duty bash plate made from premium aluminium
• About 59% lighter than steel – the alloy plate weighs 15.5kg against 38kg for the steel alternative
• Engine, transmission and transfer case – shielded from rocks, debris and other obstacles
• Fitted to the vehicle contours – shaped for the Hilux Travo (Next Gen) to give full coverage without giving up ground clearance
• Corrosion-resistant finish – a durable coating stands up to rust and corrosion

Ideal For

• Owners of the Toyota Hilux Travo (Next Gen) 2026 onwards who want the underside shielded on gravel roads and rocky tracks
• Overlanders and campers whose vehicle is loaded and works far from a workshop
• Anyone fitting a bar, winch or lift kit who wants the underside protected as part of the same build
