Underbody protection Trialmaster?

[AnD3rew]

I have seen underbody bash plates on some PTO vehicles and on the models, but I haven’t seen on delivered cars and on some you see the bolt holes for mounting but no plates. Someone on Facebook is telling me that they come on Trialmaster as part of the Rough pack but it isn’t listed anywhere, some have said they will be available for purchase later on from agents. Can anyone with a delivered Trialmaster confirm whether they are there or not?

Coming in August as aftersales parts apparently.

Yes had seen those, but somebody on Facebook’s dealer had told them standard on Trialmaster. Just wanted someone with a delivered Trialmaster to tell me yes or no. I am expecting no, but would be delighted to find that I’m wrong .

"Heavy duty underride protection" was listed early on as an optional extra on all vehicles. This extract from the "early handraiser" brochure regarding options to be available.

"There is a wide range of accessories, including
winches, towbars, bull bars, lightbars, side runners,
interior and exterior utility rails, roof storage
systems, heavy duty underride protection, auxiliary
batteries and even a power take-off, 2,000W with
domestic plug sockets. Specify your Grenadier to
meet your needs."

If the bolt holes/captive nuts are set in place during manufacture, then it shouldn't be too difficult to get a steel plate fabricated...

I was trying to ascertain whether the prototypes were fitted with the standard ZF plastic transmission pan or a metal one.

@AnD3rew : The "Rough Pack" was consistently listed as F/R locking diffs and BFG A/T K02 tyres

Pretty sure it’s plastic.

@AnD3rew No, there is no plate on mine.

Yes, I'm waiting for that. It was already mounted on a vehicle that I saw live.
I had assumed that it would also be fitted in series production.
That was planned, but it was withdrawn. Probably for cost reasons.

Think this will be standard on TM trim or an add-on for a fair sum.

Brilliant color as pictured that may nicely compliment Shale Blue (along with wrap "A" letterings, tow hooks, sidelights, etc.)
