Your FJ Cruiser is there to take you onto interesting ground. Help protect its original fuel tank with this Almont 6 mm duralumin guard, listed for the BU11 2006-2009 and BU09/BU04 2010-onwards applications.
SKU: PDTFJD6
Protection behind the front and transmission guards
The 9.6 kg SportDuty plate puts a high-strength alloy barrier beneath the original tank. It covers a different area from the front plate, making it a useful addition when you want protection farther along the underside of your FJ.
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 matching FJ Cruiser front guard for your bumper and model. The separate FJ Cruiser transmission guard is the 6 mm PDTFJB6 plate for BU11 2006-2009 and BU09/BU04 2010-onwards applications. It requires the matching front guard.
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.
