Protect your diesel JL's transfer case on rough tracks
Look after the transfer case beneath your diesel Wrangler JL with Almont's 6 mm duralumin guard. Separate short- and long-body versions let you match the plate to your Jeep while adding a substantial barrier against rough-ground contact.
Choose the body-length version for your Jeep
The short-body PDJJLCC6 guard weighs 7.5 kg. The long-body option is displayed as PDJJLCL6 and supplied under native SKU PDJJLLCL6; it weighs 8 kg. These are body-length choices for the diesel application, rather than alternatives for the 4xe.
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.

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
The separate JL gearbox guard protects the gearbox on its stated petrol/diesel application. The JL front guard adds protection beneath the radiators, steering and front differential; select its bumper version.
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 option is for the longer body?
Choose the PDJJLCL6 option for the 5-door long body. Its supplied SKU is PDJJLLCL6.
Will this fit a 4xe?
No. The five-door 4xe uses its own separate transfer guard; this product is diesel-only.
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.
