A rocky trail is more enjoyable when the important parts underneath have been looked after. This Almont guard protects the gearbox on the listed petrol and diesel Wrangler JL applications, with 8 mm certified duralumin forming a substantial barrier beneath the transmission. The 4xe hybrid has its own separate reference.
SKU: PDJJLB8
The same PDJJLB8 reference covers the petrol and diesel JL manual and automatic applications shown here. This 8 mm HeavyDuty plate weighs 14.5 kg and protects the gearbox. For a diesel JL, you can add our separate transfer guard to protect that area too.
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.
