Our Custom Offroad bash plates will fit all new models from 2015. The plates have been designed to use the existing holes that the standard plates bolts to and to work with all Bull Bars.
Mild steel is great for short term usage 6 to 12 months. After various knocks, Mild steel starts to crack and rust over time. Stainless Steel is a far superior metal that endures a lot more hits and beach driving. The most popular setup is 3mm stainless, these plates great for general 4wding, will last you for years and give you peace of mind. If you like to go a bit more rugged in your driving and want the extra strength then the 4mm stainless is for you.

Underbody protection or “bash plates” are an essential part of every 4×4 setup. They are designed to protect the underside of the vehicle from any objects that could cause damage. Ultimately, protecting the underbody of your vehicle with reliable bash plates comes down to a simple cost-benefit trade-off. As avid off-roaders ourselves, we believe it’s far cheaper and easier to replace a bash plate once every several years than it is to replace parts of your vehicle every time they get hit.
Our Aussie-made bash plates are designed to protect the underbody of your 4WD from all kinds of off-road hazards, including rocks, trees, and other debris, as well as rust and corrosion from salt water. Most vehicles come with a standard protection set-up that’s usually only 1.5mm thick or made from flimsy materials such as plastic. These standard protection plates can typically only handle one hit before they need to be replaced.
As true 4WD enthusiasts, we wanted to create a product that would allow us to tackle even the toughest tracks without compromising the most vulnerable parts of our vehicles. That’s why all our bash plates are made from durable stainless steel and are a minimum of 3mm thick. Unlike other products on the market, these premium plates are designed to take hit after hit so your vehicle will make it through its 4×4 adventure every time. Be prepared; bash your plates and not the vulnerable areas of your 4WD.
The ideal thickness depends upon the vehicle and what kind of four-wheel driving you are doing most often. Thicker is not always better, since the plate needs to absorb as well as deflect any impact. For this reason, we’ve designed bash plates that are not only 3mm to 4mm thick but also have some flex in them as well. If you are unsure which of our custom bash plates is right for you, we’d be happy to advise on what option would best suit your needs.
Check out our FAQ page or get in touch with us for more information about what kinds of plates are best for your vehicle.
A lot of products today (think TVs, fridges, and laptops) have a product lifetime designed into them. They last a few years, and then stop working almost like clockwork so that you have to replace them with the latest model. At Custom Offroad, our bash plates and 4WD accessories are exactly the opposite of this. These premium plates are made out of tough stainless steel and are expertly designed to endure the toughest off-road conditions, prolonging the life of your 4×4 for years to come.
To ensure our bash plates can withstand the test of time, we prioritise quality during every stage of our design and manufacturing process, including our choice of materials. We know that stainless steel is preferable over other less durable materials such as plastic or aluminium, especially if you plan on doing any beach driving. That’s why we’ve created the ultimate stainless steel bash plates that hold up well against harsh conditions and highly corrosive elements such as salt water, ensuring the utmost quality and durability.
Yes! At Custom Offroad Accessories, we are constantly looking for new ways to improve our customer service and product offerings. We endeavour to find the best possible solutions for your particular needs and seek to maintain good customer relationships throughout the entire lifetime of our products. We want you to get the best possible use out of our bash plates, and encourage you to contact us with any questions, comments, or feedback you might have.
Our aim is to consistently maintain our stock levels so that we can get our plates to you as soon as poosible. However, in the event your plate is unavailable, the turnaround is generally between 1 to 2 weeks. This timeframe is well below the industry average as our plates are made right here in Brisbane, Australia!
A diff drop is a modification that physically lowers your diff away from the chassis in order to bring the CV angles back into alignment and closer to the factory specifications. Ultimately, the reason for considering a diff drop is to minimise the CV shaft angle that is increased by the addition of a suspension lift. As a general rule, if you have lifted your suspension by at least 2 inches then you should consider dropping the diff!
Our plates are designed to fit with a large range of bull bar setups. If your 4WD currently retains the factory plates, and has a bull bar installed, then our plates will fit. The majority of our bash plates support a diff drop, however, we advise you consult the individual product pages for more information regarding the make and model of the 4WD you wish to fit plates to.
After countless 4wd trips the one thing I kept replacing the most was my underbody protection. Although they did get a good beating the main problem was the rust factor, especially from my love of beach driving.
My car would look great all polished and washed except for underneath that was bent out of shape and covered with surface rust. I designed a set out of stainless steel because of the resistance to corrosion and the strength to get a better, more durable life out of my bash plates.
The stainless steel comes in a 2b matte grey finish which holds up great against scratching and with the extra strength of the stainless I’ve tried my best to knock them out of shape with no success. If you are after a bash plate that you would like to put on and not have to change every 6 months stainless is the way to go.
Built using high-quality stainless steel, our Bash Plates provide the perfect weight to strength ratio for your 4×4. As each Make and Model is different so too is the weight of each plate. However, as a general rule, a 3 piece set of 3mm thickness, usually weighs between 24kg & 30kg, while a 3 piece set of 4mm thickness, usually weighs between 35kg & 40kg.
Please consult the product page of the vehicle you’re interested in for an accurate weight for your make and model of 4×4.

Purchased 3mm stainless to suit qf Pajero sport fit perfect in the driveway didn’t even need to jack it up… so much more front end clearance made the trip up to bribie and didn’t bring back half the beach like the original plates use to
Dave (verified owner) –
Great product. Fitted to a Pajero Sport QE. Everything lines up well with vehicles mounting points. I fitted them in the driveway with relative ease although a hoist would be easier. Thanks guys

James Gillett (verified owner) –
Received on time and was able to fit them easily. Should have waited for the Black Friday sale though.
Looking forward to being able to test them out soon
Kevin Hollingsworth (verified owner) –
Terrific service and product. Ordering was easy online, delivery quick and as promised to Perth at a good rate, items well packed and the 3 bash plates easy to fit. A helpful well done utube video by Custom offroad was a great help but easy to fit with just a few common tools. Custom Offroad bash plates were recommended to me and very pleased with the service, cost and product.
Jason (verified owner) –
Amazing product.
I was worried about fitting them myself as I am not very good at practical application such as mechanics.
It was very easy to install by myself using very simple tools.

Adam Laverty (verified owner) –
Great product! Had them on my door within 48hrs! Fitted myself and found it easy – for a “basic DIY guru” anyway 🙂
Brian Munro (verified owner) –
Ordered and received my 3mm SS bash plates 2 weeks ago, super quality and precision cut. Relatively easy fit once you watch the video a couple of times to work out the correct mounting holes.
So much better than the original plastic rubbish over the transmission.
Great products,
Cheers

Ordered the set of three Stainless Steel ones for my 2018 Pajero Sport, Fast Delivery Easy to fit good quality, haven’t experienced any hits to underbody yet to test, Great Australian made product.
Russ Nicholls (verified owner) –
After damaging the Pajero Sport factory fitted tin plate and slight damage to radiator decided I needed more protection to avoid the unthinkable of being stranded. I am not a rock sliding 4×4 but did a lot of searching and decided what suited my need was COA 3mm stainless three piece kit (to also avoid touch up paint every time it gets a scratch). Very happy with the plates and simple to install with very snug fit using original factory bolts and no problems with the MCC bullbar but lockdown in Victoria has not allowed any field testing although I am sure they will be far better than tin plate and so can drive with peace of mind.
Glenn (verified owner) –
Well made bash plates that fitted easily. Fast delivery and helpful service. Only minor suggestion is that they be supplied with stainless bolts, not zinc plated.
Jae Holbrook (verified owner) –
Quick and easy to install on my Pajero Sport. Look really sturdy and far exceed the quality given by the standard Mitsi covers. I feel confident going on the sand won’t lead to unnecessary damage now.
Bryan Steiger (verified owner) –
Quick replies to all enquires, arrived in perfect condition. These are the plates Mitsubishi should have fitted. Totally satisfied.
Peter –
Easy to fit, fast service, solid protection
Ian (verified owner) –
I bought these a while ago and the latest lockdown gave me time to install them. They arrived within a few days of ordering, very quickly in fact. I installed them myself after a quick view of the installation video which was on point. Installation was less than an hour with absolutely no issues. More than happy to recommend them to others.
Dan (verified owner) –
I called Custom Offroad to confirm that they had stock of the bash plates that I wanted, which they confirmed. I placed the order online and my plates were lodged with the shipper within about 2 hours.
A couple of days later the plates arrived and I fitted them up. Fitment was super easy with all holes lining up perfectly. They look great and will provide an excellent level of protection.
Great product and great service!
Ben (verified owner) –
Good price and super easy for self install!
You can really tell the difference in quality when you take off the factory ones!

Andrew B (verified owner) –
Just love the ease in which the website allows you to choose your plates, advice on the thickness & material and fitting. The bash plates arrived on time and fitted well. Good price. for 3mm stainless. I wish I had them on earlier before I destroyed the front wheel actuator and solenoids on Fraser Island. A $900 lesson learned…..thank you Custom Offroad…I should not have that same problem again.

Ordered the 3mm stainless three piece kit for my Pajero Sport. They arrived quickly and fitted up easily. I had the front wheels on ramps and used a creeper and it took less than an hour. The quality is great and the design and fit is spot on. I watched the install video first and it made it so easy to know what order to fit, slot and tighten. Very happy with price, quality and ease.
Luke Willshire (verified owner) –
Easy to install. Product seems good quality although haven’t experienced any hits to underbody yet to test. Australian made product
Robert M –
2nd set off plates I’ve purchased from Simon. Destroyed the standard plates coming off South Ballina. Another 5mm and I’ve cooked the new Pajero Sport. Called Simon and explained, he met me at the shop Saturday morning. New plates installed in less than 20 mins. Had my plates on my Triton for 3 yrs – never had an issue. Can’t thank or recommend Simon or his products enough. Top notch
Steven Fawcett –
Ordered plates for my PS and they arrived 2 days later. Simple to fit and really solid. Perfect fit on the standard mounts. I’d highly recommend doing business with Custom Off-road to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.
