Ironman 4x4 fuel tank bash plate

[rwo Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close rwo]

Just wondering if anyone has fitted the ironman 4x4 fuel tank bash plate for a prado 150?

I am chasing a photo or two (ideally showing what it mounts to) but couldn't find anything on the net. The part number is IUP003F.

Thanks mate, your google-foo must be far superior to mine!

Greenddog, when you fit it up curious to know if the brackets bolt to existing holes from the factory plate. Going by the install doc, it appears they do....

rwo
will let you know..
we actually got one in for a Rodeo recently and there were quite a few mods required.. but they assure me they bolt straight on for a 150.
The 120 kit we have on display looks pretty good.. very very heavy though!!

I've got the Ironman engine and transmission plates on my 150 (V6 Auto with KDSS) but not the fuel tank plate. My engine bash plate is pretty wrecked already after the GTG and some day trips since then, will get something else next time as I'm not impressed with the lack of strength. When I purchased mine the plates were quoted as 2.5 - 3mm, now they just list them as 3mm. I recall reading on here that someone had checked theirs with a micrometer and they were 1mm thinner then quoted. On my last day trip the transmission plate got bent up and was touching the exhaust, caused me some consternation trying to work out what the weird noise and vibration was coming from.

what are other cost effective options?

I'm looking at the Bushskinz plates for next time, they are 4mm steel :- http://bushskinz4x4.com.au/bushskinz...ies-suspension

They don't appear to do a fuel tank guard as yet but I know they were working on one.

Do they have one for a 120 series diesel? I can't see it listed on the website.. A lot of us 120 owners would be interested in one.. Any chance of a photo and retail price?

Will get you a photo in the morning. It's bolted up on a display stand. Very heavy. My toes can attest when I dropped the 2 front plates on them after they were bolted together and was positioning on the display stand. And do you think mugging had his steel caps on at the time... No!

They list only one part number for the 120. RRP is $396 plus freight. Prices go up next week. PP members get 10% off I believe.
What would the difference be between petrol and diesel plates. Pardon my ignorance

[Green dog Member Find all posts View Profile Close Green dog]

Mybo .. Can confirm diesel only on d22 navaras and some mitsubishis. The 120 plates allegedly are fine for both

Sorry, I should have clarified that I was asking about the fuel tank guard plate..
I did see the engine bay and transmission plates listed on the website. As for the difference in fitment between petrol and diesel? I don't know if there would be any, but there's plenty of members on here that have encyclopedic knowledge of both

So have you seen a fuel tank guard for the 120 series? Here's a thread in the 120 series forum section to show you how much some of us want one:
