Give your X-Class more protection where rough ground can reach the engine and front differential. This 8 mm Almont HeavyDuty plate is made for the X250 2.3 CDI 4x4 and X350 3.0 CDI V6 4x4, adding a substantial duralumin guard beneath both components.
SKU: PDN35B8
PDN35B8 covers the two listed diesel 4x4 layouts, so the choice is straightforward whether your X-Class is an X250 or X350. The plate weighs 4.6 kg, keeping the added weight modest while using Almont's thicker HeavyDuty specification.
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength protection with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, making it a worthwhile addition to a vehicle you want 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 underbody protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Designed and manufactured in Spain, its protection brings that specialist experience to the vehicle you drive and the trips you want to enjoy.

Fit to the listed X250 or X350 4x4 application with the original mounting arrangement retained.
Designed for the original chassis, axle, suspension-link, transmission and stabiliser mounting arrangements. Raised suspension is compatible where those original supports are retained. Body lifts, differential-drop kits and altered mounting supports are incompatible.
The X-Class front guard for the original bumper adds protection ahead of this plate. For the X250 2017-2020 application, add the separate X250 AdBlue-area guard.
Wash off mud and road salt after use. Almont recommends pressure washing at least annually, or two or three times a year for regular muddy or salty use, and checking bolt tightness annually. Follow the fitting instructions when refitting a guard after maintenance.
The same PDN35B8 guard covers the X250 2.3 CDI 4x4 and X350 3.0 CDI V6 4x4 applications listed here.
The 8 mm plate weighs 4.6 kg.
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.
Three years against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
