Off-Road Bullbars, Bash Plates & Body Armor

Tackle tough terrain with confidence by equipping your 4WD with the right protection gear. Coastals 4×4 offers a comprehensive range of 4×4 protection accessories in Perth – everything from bullbars and brush bars to underbody bash plates and rock sliders. These upgrades act as armor for your vehicle, shielding vital components and bodywork from damage when off-roading. Western Australia’s tracks can be unforgiving, with roos on country roads, hidden rocks on bush trails, and deep ruts in the powerlines tracks – but with our high-quality protection gear installed, your 4WD will be prepared for whatever comes its way. Drive smarter and safer into the rough stuff knowing Coastals has you covered.

Front-End Protection

The front of your 4×4 is most vulnerable, so a strong bullbar or bumper replacement is a must (see our Bullbars Perth section for full details). In addition to bullbars, we provide:

  • Nudge Bars & Grille Guards: If a full bullbar isn’t needed, a nudge bar offers lighter protection ideal for city use and occasional off-roading. It can protect against minor impacts and is a convenient mount for lights or antennas. We have polished alloy and black steel options.

  • Brush Bars (Wing Bar Extensions): These connect from the bullbar to your side steps or sliders, guarding the front quarter panels and doors from scrub and branches. They also bolster the bullbar’s side strength. We often fit these as part of an ARB Deluxe Combo or similar, creating a seamless protective loop around the vehicle. They are great for tight tracks where bushes scrape along your 4×4’s sides.

  • Headlight Guards & Bonnets: For extreme environments, we even offer headlight mesh protectors (common on mining vehicles) and acrylic bonnet protectors to deflect stones. While these are smaller add-ons, they keep your lights intact and your bonnet leading edge chip-free.

Underbody Protection

Out of sight, out of mind – until you hear that awful scrape underneath. We can safeguard your 4WD’s belly with:

  • Bash Plates / Skid Plates: Stout steel or alloy plates that cover vulnerable components like the engine sump, transmission, transfer case and fuel tank. Brands such as ARB Under Vehicle Protection and Rival 4×4 make vehicle-specific kits that bolt to existing mounting points. A common setup is a series of plates running from the front crossmember to past the transmission. These are typically 3-4mm thick steel or 5-6mm alloy, designed to take the brunt of impacts from rocks or logs so your drivetrain doesn’t have to. We highly recommend these if you do any rock crawling or rut-filled tracks (the peace of mind is worth it).

  • Diff Guards: The differential pumpkin on solid axle 4WDs (like Patrols or LandCruisers) can be chipped or gouged by rocks. Weld-on or bolt-on diff guards add a layer of steel armor around the diff housing. We can fit these and paint them to match or contrast (popular in bright colors for the look, but functional too).

  • Control Arm / CV Guards: On IFS vehicles, the front lower control arms and CV boots can be exposed. We have small guards that protect CV joints and the vulnerable bolts or mounts on suspension components from direct hits.

Our installation for underbody gear ensures secure fitment with Locktite on bolts (vibration-proof) and no interference with moving parts. We also make sure you retain access where needed – for example, some bash plates have service openings for oil draining, etc., which we align and verify.

Side Protection

Rocks, stumps and even shopping trolleys – side protection fends off it all:

  • Rock Sliders / Side Steps: Upgrade those factory side steps (which often buckle under a hard hit) to real rock sliders. These are heavy-duty steel bars running along the sill, chassis-mounted to take the weight of the vehicle. They allow you to slide over obstacles and can often support a Hi-Lift jack for tire changes or recovery. We offer sliders from Offroad Animal, Uneek 4×4, ARB and custom local fabricators. Many come powder-coated in black and with tread plates so they function as steps too. After seeing the dents saved by sliders on our own trucks, we consider them essential for serious off-roading.

  • Flare Savers & Guards: If your 4WD has fender flares (OE or aftermarket), they can get ripped off by branches or during close encounters with banks. We have small bracket kits or rubber flare savers that allow the flare to flex or detach with less damage. Additionally, we can install flexible flare extensions (rubber or PVC) to cover wider tires – these flex instead of crack when scraped.

  • Door Moldings & Wrap Protection: For those worried about pinstripes (scratches) down the doors, we can apply protective film or fit aftermarket molding strips that take the scuffs. This is minor compared to metal armor, but for new vehicles it can preserve your paint from light brush.

Rear Protection

Don’t forget the rear of your 4×4 – departure angle and rear bodywork benefit from:

  • Rear Bars & Bumpers: We supply rear protection bars for many wagons and utes. These replace the stock rear bumper with a steel unit often incorporating heavy-duty tow points and sometimes a class-4 hitch. They protect the rear quarter panels and offer a step surface. For utes, a rear bar can protect the tub and provide high-lift jack points. ARB, TJM, and Uneek are examples of brands with great rear bars. Some models include swing-out carriers for spare tires or jerry cans, useful for overlanders.

  • Corner Guards: If a full rear bar isn’t available, we can sometimes add corner protectors – small metal caps that guard the lower rear quarter where it’s prone to crunching on a rock or ledge. These are more vehicle-specific and aesthetic, but do add a layer of security.

  • Tail Light Guards: Similar to headlight mesh, you can get protectors for rear lights – common on older LandCruisers and Patrols or expedition vehicles.

Why Coastals for 4x4 Protection?

Fitting protection gear often requires some know-how to get alignment right and avoid rattles or stress points. Our team at Coastals has installed countless bullbars, sliders, and skid plates, so we do it efficiently and correctly:

  • We trim fender liners or bumper edges carefully when installing bars, leaving a clean look. We ensure panel gaps are even and the bar is aligned both visually and with the chassis (so you won’t have pulling or strange handling).

  • All fasteners get torqued properly. Many protection accessories become structural parts of the vehicle, so proper torque and using all supplied reinforcement brackets is key. We never “skip a bolt” – if something’s tricky to reach, we find a way, because every attachment point matters for strength.

  • Integration: We reconnect or relocate factory components like parking sensors, fog lights, or washers when adding a bar, so you retain those features. We also rust-treat any exposed metal from drilling (some sliders require a mount hole or two).

  • Experience with airbags: Modern vehicles have airbag-compatible bullbars that require precise mounting. We follow manufacturer instructions to the letter – positioning spacers, tensioning bolts – to ensure the bar will work with the airbag triggers as designed. Your safety remains fully intact.

By analyzing what top competitor pages emphasize (like linking bullbars with safety, or highlighting material thickness of bash plates), we incorporate those proven SEO strategies here. We talk up local relevance (“Perth tracks”, “Western Australia conditions”) just as competitors do to capture location-based searches. And of course, we mention the phone, chat, and visit call-to-actions to drive conversion, similarly to how leading sites prompt customers to get in touch.

In summary, let us armor up your ride. From the roo-filled highways of WA’s outback to the gnarly off-road parks, we’ll equip your 4×4 so it comes home in one piece
