as an indication, last time i priced up the three plates for v6 hilux was well over $500 retail.
would definately invest in brown davis or the like, you wont bend these in the sand.
smacked mine on a few rocks in a riverbed over the weekend, not so much as a scratch however would've totalled the genuine plates
timely post. I smacked mine VERY hard on the weekend, up against a bolt which holds the sump on - it created a crack about 5" long. Time to look at doing this.
Just fitted my TJM bashplate a fortnight ago. $250 to buy, two mates to help fit (which was overkill) and didn't even take long enough to drink one beer.
That easy and that much stronger I wonder why I waited so long to do it.
I'd put money on the OE bashplate costing more than double.
Ah, thanks for that. I was heading towards the Brown Davis but if you have to remove it for an oil change I'll absolutely go for the tjm which appears to have the right holes in the right places..
Just finished installing my TJM. There are slots for the engine oil change but I recon the slot need to be located about 20mm back. The sump plug lines up with the back of the slot in the plate. I can see the toyota guys making a mess and not cleaning it when they change the oil next service.

Did they sell you the right plate as the petrol and diesel plates r different I do believe?
