Bash Plates










One of Tosca’s most popular products is the bash plates we make to fit the Nissan Pathfinder R51. One disaster and you’ll never venture out without steel bash plates again!

We have designed bash plates to protect the fuel tank, intercooler, sump, transfer case and the transmission. The plates are made out of 3mm etch primed or galvanized steel. The etch primed plates can be painted (usually black).

Bash plates are easy to fit. All the front plates (including the transfer case) are designed to bolt straight into the existing holes and we include longer bolts for this purpose. The only plate that requires a bit of professional assistance is the fuel tank plate. An additional hole needs to be drilled and tapped into the vehicle to accommodate this plate. This is a relatively simple job but some people who aren’t confident doing this have had their normal mechanics do this for them when getting the vehicle serviced. Mechanics have all the equipment required to fit the plate and a hoist to lift up the vehicle (which is easier than lying on the ground to fit them).

Watch this space: we’re currently working on a full set to fit the Nissan Navara (the Pathfinder intercooler and sump plates will actually bolt straight on to the Navara without any mods required)
