Protect the driveline that makes your Grenadier so capable
You bought your Grenadier to use it, and proper protection underneath helps you enjoy doing exactly that. This 8 mm Almont guard covers the ZF 8HP automatic gearbox and Tramec transfer case on the Grenadier and Quartermaster, putting certified duralumin between rough ground and two important parts of the drivetrain.
SKU: PDINGB8
HeavyDuty protection for the gearbox and transfer case
The transmission deserves attention when you are preparing the truck for rocky lanes or a longer trip carrying camping equipment. This 8 mm HeavyDuty guard protects the gearbox and transfer case together and weighs 14.5 kg. It is also the mounting partner for the separate engine sump guard.
Why we recommend Almont
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength alloy protection without the material weight of steel of the same size and thickness. The plate will not develop red rust if its surface is scratched, so it is a good choice for a vehicle you intend to keep and use. Wash off mud and road salt to look after the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware.
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
If you want engine protection as well, add the Grenadier engine sump guard; it requires this gearbox and transfer plate for its mounting. The front guard is a separate purchase for the leading underside.
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.
