Protect your Prado's transmission for the rougher parts of the trip
A 90-series Land Cruiser is a great way to get out onto rough ground. This Almont guard protects the gearbox and centre transfer/differential area, with separate three- and five-door versions in 6 mm or 8 mm duralumin. It mounts with the matching front guard to give the transmission proper protection underneath.
Choose the correct body length and duty
The three-door and five-door vehicles need different shapes. SportDuty weighs 11 kg for the three-door and 13 kg for the five-door; HeavyDuty weighs 13 kg and 14.6 kg respectively. That gives you a clear choice between the lighter 6 mm guard and the thicker 8 mm version for a heavily equipped truck or more demanding trip.
Choose your version
Choose body length first, then duty. Our offered three-door 8 mm SKU is PDT09B8. The option table lists all four versions and their weights.
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.

Fitting

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
Can I fit it without the front guard?
No. It uses linked mounting with the matching front guard, which is required.
What determines which of the four choices I need?
Match the three- or five-door body first, then choose 6 mm SportDuty or 8 mm HeavyDuty for your use.
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.
