BushSkinz Bash Plates - Round 2 <<<CLOSED>>>

[120D4D]

Once you guys have sorted out your battery trays might I suggest you contact Drivesafe (Tim) on here.

A good supporter of pradopoint and has one the best styles of isolators out there. Check our his Traxide SC80 or UCI160 for those with winches...

I managed to get mine on in two goes. Put the front and sump guard on myself, then got some help to get the tranny cover on. I parked the Prado with the front wheels up on a gutter for a bit of extra wiggle room (I don't have a lift yet). Thanks for organising the group buy! Now to find a group buy for the industry-standard dual battery setup!

NB: The FiL didn't get the right size bolts either, Craggles. He contacted them and they sorted it - said there was an issue with the bolt packing.

Kris keen to see a group buy on battery trays mate if you want to tee one up? Maybe Piranha Battery Tray's?

I will check my bolts when I fit it up. Plan to service the Trans first.

Mine arrived yesterday! Yes! Now to get them on the car.

No problem guys. Everyone wins with these groupbuys.

[Jackpott]

Just received. Product looks amazing! about 3 times the size of the standard plate lol.
Killswitch, can't thank you enough!

[TroyVis]

Thanks again to Killswitch & Bushskinz. Got mine and just trying to find time to fit them now...

[Craggles123]

Cheers got them, definitely needed those to find out they hadn't supplied me with the 50mm bolts...

Pretty annoying but bunnings had some luckily.

Anyone got a down on install? Haven't put these in before and fked if I know where the large spacers etc go

Pretty poor effort on Bushskinz behalf tbh, some kind of instructions wouldnt be hard to put together.

There is instructions on the first post of this thread.

Hi Craggles if you look in the first group buy pages fido666 put a link to a pdf of the instructions.

Received Monday, will share a photo once installed. Cheers

Got mine yesterday, all good.

Very heavy duty

What sort of impact do people think lugging these around will have on fuel economy?

Suspension arrived today so should be a fun weekend

Probably a little bit but I wouldn't say it would be any worse than some big tyres, a roof rack or some rear draws. All of those combined would be noticeable.

Hi guys, Samantha has just shot me an email to let those of you (including myself) still waiting of the following:

Good Afternoon

Just give you a further update with the dispatch of your orders.

Unfortunately our manufacturer has been delayed in getting out the next batch of guards due to the flooding in Brisbane and having to close for a couple of days.

The guards are being dispatched tomorrow and will arrive at the electroplaters Thursday.

We are going to do our best to have all orders dispatched before Easter.

Sorry for this unexpected delay and thank you for your patience.

PS looks great Photoprado.

And installed:



No instructions included with the delivery, but simple. The front angle of the plate in front of the radiator was higher than the ARB Sahara bar coverplate, so the bushskin is above the coverplate in that area.
Added some threadseal to the bolts so it won't fall off.
