BushSkinz Elite 6mm 5052 H32 Aluminium
Manufactured from premium 6mm 5052 H32 aluminium, the BushSkinz Elite range provides an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. The increased material thickness delivers excellent rigidity and impact resistance while reducing the overall kit weight to approximately 9kg—around half the weight of the equivalent steel kit. This makes it an excellent choice for touring vehicles where every kilogram of payload matters.

Why Protect Your Intercooler & Engine Sump?
Your Mitsubishi Pajero's intercooler and engine sump are two of the most exposed components underneath the vehicle. Even on moderate touring tracks, loose rocks, washouts, deep ruts and hidden obstacles can cause serious damage that may leave you stranded or result in expensive repairs.
The BushSkinz Intercooler & Sump Guard Kit is designed to help absorb and distribute impacts before they reach these critical components, giving you greater confidence whether you're touring Australia, tackling difficult four-wheel-drive tracks or simply exploring your favourite camping destination.
Intercooler Protection
The intercooler sits low in the front of the Pajero where it is vulnerable to damage from rocks, sticks and uneven terrain. A damaged intercooler can reduce engine performance and, in severe cases, prevent your trip from continuing.
BushSkinz Intercooler Guards are engineered to provide excellent protection while maintaining airflow and a precise vehicle-specific fit.
Engine Sump Protection
Your engine sump contains the oil that keeps your engine lubricated. A cracked sump caused by an impact can result in rapid oil loss and potentially catastrophic engine damage.
The BushSkinz Sump Guard provides heavy-duty protection to help shield the sump from impacts encountered during touring and off-road driving.
Engineered for Australian Conditions
Australia presents some of the harshest driving conditions in the world. Corrugations, rocky climbs, creek crossings, desert tracks and remote touring all place enormous demands on underbody protection.
Every BushSkinz guard is proudly designed and manufactured in Australia using precision CNC manufacturing techniques and premium materials selected to perform in these demanding environments.
Every BushSkinz Guard Features:
- Australian Designed & Manufactured
- Manufacturing Quality Since 2008
- Precision CNC Laser Cut Construction
- CNC Precision Folded for Increased Rigidity
- Vehicle Specific Engineering
- Premium Material Options
- Excellent Ground Clearance
- Integrated Oil Drain Access Hole
- Optional Black Powder Coating Available
Why BushSkinz is Different
Many underbody protection systems simply cover vulnerable components. BushSkinz products are engineered with careful consideration for strength, rigidity, servicing and long-term durability.
Precision CNC Manufacturing
Every BushSkinz guard is CNC laser cut before being precision folded to produce consistent quality and accurate fitment. Folded edges significantly increase rigidity while helping distribute impact forces throughout the guard.
This manufacturing process produces a stronger guard than a simple flat plate while maintaining a professional finish.
Designed Around Real Servicing
Underbody protection shouldn't make servicing more difficult. BushSkinz has incorporated a precision laser-cut oil drain access hole into the sump guard, allowing routine engine oil changes to be completed without removing the guard.
This practical feature reduces servicing time while ensuring your vehicle remains protected between adventures.
Strength Where It Matters Most
Additional reinforcement has been incorporated into the intercooler guard where it provides the greatest benefit.
Welded Strengthening Gussets
The 4mm 250 Grade Zinc Plated Steel and BushSkinz Elite 6mm 5052 H32 Aluminium intercooler guards incorporate welded strengthening gussets to increase rigidity around one of the Pajero's most vulnerable underbody components.
These gussets help distribute impact loads more effectively during heavy off-road use while maintaining excellent fitment.
Please Note: Welded strengthening gussets are fitted only to the 4mm 250 Grade Zinc Plated Steel and BushSkinz Elite 6mm 5052 H32 Aluminium intercooler guards. The 3mm and 4mm 304 Grade Stainless Steel options do not incorporate welded strengthening gussets.
Designed to Last
Every BushSkinz Intercooler & Sump Guard Kit is built using premium materials selected to provide long service life in Australia's demanding conditions. Whether you choose stainless steel, zinc plated steel or BushSkinz Elite aluminium, you can be confident your underbody protection has been engineered to protect your investment for years of touring and off-road adventures.
Engineered to Perform
Every BushSkinz Intercooler & Sump Guard is engineered with a clear purpose – to provide dependable protection for your Mitsubishi Pajero without compromising fitment, servicing or vehicle usability.

BushSkinz Expert Tips
Getting the Most from Your Underbody Protection
Your BushSkinz Intercooler & Sump Guards are designed to absorb impacts that would otherwise be transferred directly to your vehicle's vulnerable underbody components. Like any quality off-road accessory, regular inspection and maintenance will help ensure optimum performance for years to come.
- Inspect your underbody protection after every serious off-road trip.
- Check all mounting bolts after the first trip and during scheduled servicing.
- Wash mud, sand and salt from the underside of the vehicle after each trip, particularly following beach driving.
- Inspect the guards after any significant impact to ensure they remain securely mounted.
- Touch up damaged powder coated surfaces if required to maintain their appearance.
If your BushSkinz guard shows signs of impact, remember that it has performed exactly as intended by protecting your Pajero's critical components.
