Protect your Defender beneath the gearbox and transfer case
Your Defender is there to take you beyond easy roads. Give its central underside substantial protection with this Almont 6 mm duralumin guard, covering the gearbox, transfer case, traction-control components and exhaust line on the stated 2020-onwards 90/110 application.
SKU: PDLRDB26
Protection for several central underbody components
The plate weighs 10.1 kg and adds a high-strength alloy barrier behind the front guard. It is a useful addition for rough tracks and travel where looking after the vehicle underneath helps you enjoy the drive with more reassurance.
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.

Matching protection
Fit it with the required Defender 90/110 front guard for the 2020-onwards application. The front guard is a separate purchase.
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
