There is plenty to enjoy in a Touareg or Cayenne away from smooth roads. This 8 mm Almont guard protects the radiators, steering, engine and front differential, giving the expensive components underneath a substantial duralumin barrier against rough-ground contact. Its application differs between the two vehicles, including a body-lift requirement on the Cayenne.
SKU: PDWTA38
A substantial guard for a capable SUV
You can put the car's ability to use on rough access roads and rocky tracks with more peace of mind about its front underside. The 8 mm HeavyDuty plate weighs 20 kg. For the Touareg it covers the 7P engine range; the Cayenne application is specifically for a 92A with a body lift.
Why we recommend Almont
The material is a large part of what makes Almont protection worth considering. Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin combines high strength with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, helping it stay a worthwhile long-term addition to your vehicle. Mud and road salt should still be washed off, including from the separate steel brackets and fixings.
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.
