Your Defender is made to leave the tarmac. This 8 mm Almont front plate helps you enjoy that ability with protection beneath the radiators, front differential, engine and steering box, rather than leaving those components to take the first scrape.
SKU: PDLR190A8
Substantial coverage for the classic Defender
The HeavyDuty duralumin plate weighs 9.5 kg and covers the listed TD5 and Puma TD4 applications across Defender 90, 110, 130 and 147. It brings several vulnerable front-underbody components behind one substantial guard.
Why we recommend Almont
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.
