Protect your Land Cruiser's automatic transmission for the long trip

A loaded HDJ100 is a wonderful vehicle to travel in, and its automatic gearbox and transfer case deserve proper protection underneath. This 8 mm Almont duralumin guard covers both, giving you more reassurance over rocky tracks and uneven crossings. It is shaped for the four- and five-speed automatic application and mounts with the required front guard.

SKU: PDT10B8AUT

HeavyDuty protection for an automatic 100 Series

The automatic version has its own guard, rather than sharing the manual truck's reference. The 8 mm plate weighs 16.7 kg and protects the transmission beneath the centre of your Land Cruiser, where a front guard alone does not reach. It is a sensible addition to a vehicle you want to keep using on demanding trips.

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.

Fitting

The PDT10A8 front guard must be installed for this transmission guard to fit. The front guard is required and sold separately.

Uses the vehicle's original holes and threads with the supplied mounting supports and fixings. Follow the fitting instructions and check clearances on your vehicle.

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

Fit it with the required PDT10A8 HDJ100 front guard. For a manual HDJ100, choose the separate manual gearbox and transfer guard instead; that product also has a Lexus LX 470 application.

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

Does it fit both automatic gearboxes?

Yes. The listed HDJ100 application includes the four- and five-speed automatic transmissions.

Can I fit it without the front guard?

No. The PDT10A8 front guard must be installed for this transmission plate to fit.

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.
