Why Install Bash Plates on Your Ford Ranger?
The factory protection fitted to many Rangers is designed for light-duty use. Once you head off sealed roads, exposed components underneath the vehicle become vulnerable to damage from:
- Rocks and loose gravel
- Deep ruts
- Tree roots
- Washouts
- Sand and mud
- Steep break-over angles
Quality bash plates help prevent expensive damage while giving you greater confidence when exploring Australia's toughest tracks.

FAQs
What do bash plates actually protect on my Ford Ranger?
Bash plates shield the underside of your Ranger from impact damage caused by rocks, stumps, and rough terrain. Depending on the kit, they cover the engine sump, transmission and transfer case — the components most exposed to strikes when off-roading or driving on unsealed roads.
What material are OCAM bash plates made from?
Our bash plates are made from 4mm steel, laser-cut for an accurate fit and powder coated for long-term corrosion resistance. Steel offers a strong balance of impact resistance and affordability compared to aluminium or plastic alternatives.
Will bash plates fit my specific Ranger model?
Yes — we stock bash plates for all Ford Ranger generations, from the PX (2011-2022) through to the current Next-Gen model (2022+). Select your build year in the subcategories on this page to see the correct kit for your vehicle.
Do bash plates affect ground clearance?
OCAM bash plates are designed to sit close to the vehicle's factory underbody line, so they don't meaningfully reduce your Ranger's ground clearance. They're built to protect components, not hang below them.
Can I still access my engine and transmission for servicing with bash plates fitted?
Yes. Our bash plates are designed with servicing in mind, so oil changes and other routine maintenance can typically be done without removing the plates.
Do I need bash plates if I only drive on-road?
Bash plates aren't just for serious off-roading. Corrugated dirt roads, gravel driveways, speed bumps, and even debris on the highway can all cause underbody damage. Many tradies and everyday drivers fit them purely as cheap insurance against unexpected impact.
