The bash plate fits directly to the factory mounting points on the Hilux and is designed for a straightforward installation. Safely raise and secure the vehicle to access the underbody, then remove any existing guards and check that all mounting points are clean and intact.

Position the bash plate against the chassis and align the mounting holes with the factory points before threading in the bolts by hand to confirm correct alignment. Once the plate is positioned properly, tighten the bolts evenly to secure it firmly against the chassis.

After installation, inspect the area to ensure the plate sits flush and does not contact any moving or heat-sensitive components. Lower the vehicle and perform a short test drive to confirm there are no vibrations or interference. Proper fitment ensures the plate offers reliable long-term protection.
