t30 bashplate

Why do I get a whole lot of advertising when opening one of your photos - I do not like that. Also there are pop up warnings coming from these photos - also not good?

Is this an add? Please explain - Tony

Brenton. Mounting - I have had bash plates work loose and break around bolt holes. You will need bolts with nylux nuts & larger washers to prevent this. 1.5mm I would think is for only very light scrub. After you get it to fit exactly how you want and are happy with it use it as a template & get one made out of thicker plate at a fabricators
Drain holes on the base are good large enough to hose out mud & grass seeds. Have fun Cheers Tony

Mate I hate to play Mr safety man. But in your first pick you got the front wheel sitting on concrete blocks!! Hope the kids didn't get under neath it thinking it was safe.

My Hilux came with a bash plate and it is pretty bashed now. It just bolted on as per normal. I would only worry about it picking up spinifex or other grass. yours looks pretty good to me. There is a s load of air flying thru the radiator and unless you a going to really work the motor as in long hard low range sandy patches, I would not worry. If you really think the cooling may be a prob in your case consider an oil cooler.

Mining vehicles do the roughest hardest traveling in hostile climates (it gets up to fifty celsius up there) and none of the ex miners I have seen have been to any trouble to modify the vehicles in that way.

Len Beadle did the hard K's (miles Len, should you be listening)with the most cited as being a useless heap of crap. you got a vehicle that cuts the cake unless you are driving Len's old heap.

If you have a free one that fits a Hilux I am more than happy to take it off your hands.
