Protect your truck's transmission for work and weekends away
Whether your truck carries tools or camping equipment, rough ground still reaches the parts underneath. This Almont guard protects the gearbox and transfer case on the listed Ranger PX2, Everest-Endeavour and BT-50 II applications, giving you 8 mm certified duralumin beneath the centre of the vehicle.
SKU: PDFR2B8
The correct centre guard for the listed vehicle family
This 12 kg HeavyDuty plate provides a substantial transmission barrier for the named vehicles. The exact generation and engine details matter, particularly when Ranger and BT-50 badges span several different vehicles. It mounts together with the matching front guard rather than replacing it.
Why we recommend Almont
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength alloy protection without the material weight of steel of the same size and thickness. The plate will not develop red rust if its surface is scratched, so it is a good choice for a vehicle you intend 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 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
Add the required matching front guard for your Ranger, Everest or BT-50. For a Ranger PX2 or BT-50, we also sell the separate rear differential guard. Fitting the rear differential guard requires TIG spot-welding its mounting support to the differential.
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.
