Summary

The classic 70 Series has outlived its spare-parts supply in half the world, which makes preventing front-underside damage cheaper than repairing it by an ever-wider margin. This Almont plate protects original-bumper trucks across two generations - HZJ 70, 71, 73, 74, 75, 78 and 79 built 1990-98, and BJ 70, 71, 73, 74 and 75 built 1984-92 - with 11 kg of laser-cut 8 mm EN AW-5083 H111 duralumin. Rock ledges, rut walls and stumps hit the plate; the thirty-year-old hardware behind it stays dry and working.

Best For

  • Classic HZJ and BJ 70 Series still in genuine off-road use
  • Owners preserving a truck whose parts are getting scarce
  • Original-bumper vehicles - this plate is cut around the factory front

Fitment And Setup Checks

  • Original bumper only - a truck converted to an aftermarket bar needs a different plate, so check the front end before ordering.
  • Confirm your build year against the two ranges; 1999-on trucks take the later 70 Series front plate.
  • On vehicles this age, clean and inspect the chassis mounting points before install day.
  • The matching 1990-98 transfer box plate continues the cover rearwards.

Questions before you order

Frequently asked questions

Which exact models does it cover?

HZJ 70, 71, 73, 74, 75, 78 and 79 from 1990-98, and the earlier BJ 70, 71, 73, 74 and 75 from 1984-92 - all with the original bumper in place.

Will the old chassis threads take the plate?

The plate uses the factory holes and threads. On trucks of this age, run a tap or penetrating oil through the mounting points first so seized fixings are found before the plate is under the truck.

Is there any cutting or drilling?

No - fitting is bolt-on with the supplied steel brackets and pre-installed bolts on an unmodified chassis.

Fitment first

Model year, engine, drivetrain, hardware and existing modifications can all change what fits. Check the applications and supplier notes above, or send us your exact vehicle and setup before ordering.
