Keep enjoying the Ranger you know
You know your Ranger and the places it can take you. Give the expensive equipment underneath proper protection before the next rough track with PDFR1A8. This 8 mm HeavyDuty duralumin plate guards the cooling system, front differential, engine, steering and front transmission on the 2012-2015 PX1, for more peace of mind at work and away from it.
SKU: PDFR1A8
Why we choose duralumin
Made from certified AW5083 H111 duralumin, the plate combines high strength with less weight than steel of the same size and thickness. It's a useful balance on a pickup that already carries tools, passengers or camping gear. You can add serious protection underneath without adding unnecessary weight to every journey.
The duralumin plate won't rust, including where the surface gets scraped. Its natural oxide layer helps it resist corrosion, so you aren't left worrying about red rust on the plate after every trip. That matters for something working out of sight underneath your truck all year.
8 mm HeavyDuty protection
At 8 mm thick, this HeavyDuty plate is our choice for heavier vehicles and demanding long-distance trips over rough ground. It puts a substantial barrier beneath the components listed below.
Off-road protection since 1992
Almont has made underbody protection since 1992, drawing on advice from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid competition. You are paying for that specialist background as well as the certified alloy and the fit for your truck. It's the kind of protection we'd choose for a pickup we work hard and enjoy using off road.
Fitting and mounting
The plate bolts into your vehicle's original holes and threads using the supplied steel supports and fixings, with no need to drill new mounting holes. The certificate/instruction manual is included to guide the installation. Raised suspension is compatible when the original mounting points remain in place.
The plate needs the original chassis, frame, axle and suspension-stay anchors, transmission mounts and stabiliser-bar supports. Body lifts and diff-drop kits change that relationship and are incompatible.
