Protect the Hilux that does the hard work

A working Hilux sees plenty of ground that is not kind to its underside. This Almont front guard protects the radiators, engine, steering and front differential, giving your Vigo a substantial duralumin barrier against rocks, ruts and uneven entrances. Original and named aftermarket bumper versions are available in 6 mm and 8 mm.

A proper fit around your bumper

A winch bumper changes the shape the guard has to meet. Each offered version is cut for its named front end, with separate SportDuty and HeavyDuty choices. Getting both the bumper and thickness right gives you protection suited to the truck you use, whether it works on a site or carries camping equipment away.

Choose your version

Choose the bumper actually fitted, then 6 mm SportDuty for lighter use or 8 mm HeavyDuty for a heavily equipped Hilux and demanding rough-ground trips. The 12 offered combinations are all listed with their exact SKUs.

Why we recommend Almont

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.

Fitting

Match the selected guard to the original or named aftermarket bumper. A winch may already be fitted when the correct bumper/guard combination is used.

Uses the vehicle's original holes and threads with the supplied mounting supports and fixings. Follow the fitting instructions and check clearances on your vehicle.

Designed for the original chassis, axle, suspension-stay, transmission and stabiliser mounting arrangements. Raised suspension is compatible when those original supports are retained. Body lifts, differential-drop kits and altered mounting supports are incompatible.

Matching protection

For more protection, add the separate Vigo gearbox and transfer guard and two-piece front arm guard kit. The gearbox guard mounts together with the matching front guard.

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

Which thickness would you recommend for a loaded Vigo?

We would choose 8 mm HeavyDuty for a heavily equipped working or touring truck. 6 mm SportDuty is the lighter choice for less demanding off-road use.

Does every version fit every bumper?

No. Choose the version for the exact original or named aftermarket bumper fitted to your Hilux.

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.

What does the warranty cover?

Almont provides three years of cover against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
