Your V6 Prado deserves protection matched to its transmission layout. This Almont guard covers the manual or automatic gearbox and transfer case on the stated GDJ180 / 185 V6 petrol application, with 6 mm or 8 mm certified duralumin. It mounts together with the required matching front guard.
SportDuty is 6 mm at 12 kg, while HeavyDuty is 8 mm at 13 kg. We would choose the thicker guard for a heavily equipped Prado and demanding rough-ground trips. The 6 mm version is the lighter choice for gentler off-road use. Both suit the V6 petrol application shown here.
PDT18B6V6 is 6 mm SportDuty at 12 kg. PDT18B8V6 is 8 mm HeavyDuty at 13 kg. Select the complete code shown for the thickness you want.
This is certified AW5083 H111 duralumin: a high-strength aluminium alloy that keeps material weight below steel of the same size and thickness. You get a substantial barrier beneath the vehicle, and a scratch in the plate does not turn into red rust. It is still worth keeping the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware clean, especially after winter salt or muddy trips.
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.
