Enjoy your Bronco off road with its transmission protected
Give the gearbox and transfer case of your Bronco Wildtrak or Badlands a substantial barrier against rocky ground. This 8 mm Almont HeavyDuty duralumin guard extends protection behind the matching front plate on the 2023-onwards application.
SKU: PDFBRB8
Look after the components beneath the middle of your Bronco
The plate weighs 12.5 kg and protects the central transmission area. It is a reassuring addition for rutted tracks and rocky crossings, where protecting expensive mechanical components matters as much as getting through the obstacle.
Why we recommend Almont
The material is a large part of what makes Almont protection worth considering. Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin combines high strength with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, helping it stay a worthwhile long-term addition to your vehicle. Mud and road salt should still be washed off, including from the separate steel brackets and fixings.
Almont has specialised in vehicle protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Its protection is designed and manufactured in Spain. You are choosing specialist underbody protection for the parts of your vehicle that have to face the rough ground first.

Matching protection
Fit the required Bronco Wildtrak and Badlands front guard with this transmission plate. The separate rear shock guards protect the original rear FOX shocks and their compression/extension sensors on the matching Wildtrak/Badlands application. Fitting the optional rear shock guards requires TIG spot-welding of their mounting supports to the suspension link.
Looking after your protection
Pressure wash the protection at least once a year, or two or three times a year if you regularly drive in mud or road salt. Check bolt tightness annually and follow the fitting instructions when refitting a plate after maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Is the front plate optional?
No. The matching front guard is required for this plate's linked mounting arrangement.
Will it fit a Bronco Raptor?
The Raptor uses a separate transmission guard; this version is for Wildtrak and Badlands models from 2023.
What is included?
The protection plate, matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, certificate and instruction manual, and Almont sticker. Other guards linked on this page are separate purchases.
Will the plate rust if I scrape it?
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
