Good suspension makes a long day on rough tracks much more enjoyable. This Almont pair adds 6 mm duralumin protection around the rear shocks on the listed Toyota applications, helping you look after the components that keep the drive comfortable and controlled.
SKU: PDTS12
A pair for the listed Prado, FJ and 4Runner applications
The complete kit weighs 7 kg. It covers the listed KDJ120, KDJ150, GDJ180/185, FJ Cruiser and 4Runner applications, including original and separate-reservoir shock arrangements. Match the actual damper and its clearances during installation.
Why we recommend Almont
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength protection with less material weight than steel of the same size and thickness. A scrape will not start red rust in the alloy plate, making it a worthwhile addition to a vehicle you want 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 underbody protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid events. Designed and manufactured in Spain, its protection brings that specialist experience to the vehicle you drive and the trips you want to enjoy.

Looking after your protection
Wash off mud and road salt after use. Almont recommends pressure washing at least annually, or two or three times a year for regular muddy or salty use, and checking bolt tightness annually. Follow the fitting instructions when refitting a guard after maintenance.
Frequently asked questions
Does the kit include two guards?
Yes. The pair weighs 7 kg and uses 6 mm duralumin.
