Give your Prado protection that fits its actual setup
A Prado with a different bumper or KDSS suspension needs the corresponding plate underneath it. This range gives you those exact choices, with duralumin protection around the cooling system, differential, engine and steering. Match your bumper and suspension configuration, then choose 6 mm SportDuty or 8 mm HeavyDuty for the journeys you enjoy.
Choose your version
Choose original, AFN, ASFIR, GEOCRUISER, ACAYX or RIVAL to match your bumper, KDSS or NO KDSS to match your suspension, and SportDuty 6 mm or HeavyDuty 8 mm for the thickness you want.

Why we choose duralumin
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you strong protection without carrying the weight of a steel plate the same size and thickness. This high-strength aluminium alloy is a good choice for a vehicle already carrying passengers, fuel and camping gear: you get a substantial guard underneath while keeping the added weight down.
The duralumin plate won't rust when stones scratch its surface. The alloy forms a natural protective oxide layer that helps resist corrosion, a lasting benefit when you use your vehicle through wet winters and muddy weekends. It's one less thing to worry about underneath a truck you plan to keep.
6 mm or 8 mm
We'd choose 6 mm SportDuty for recreational off-roading and overlanding where keeping added weight down matters. For heavier vehicles and demanding long-distance trips, we'd recommend 8 mm HeavyDuty. The option table shows the weight of each version.
Off-road protection since 1992
Almont has specialised in underbody protection since 1992, with input from vehicle preparers involved in the Dakar Rally and other rally-raid competition. That experience, the certified material and the fit for your vehicle are good reasons to invest in it. We'd choose protection like this for a truck we've put time and money into and want to keep taking away.
The plate bolts into your vehicle's original holes and threads using the supplied steel supports and fixings, with no need to drill new mounting holes. The certificate/instruction manual is included to guide the installation. Raised suspension is compatible when the original mounting points remain in place.
The plate needs the original chassis, frame, axle and suspension-stay anchors, transmission mounts and stabiliser-bar supports. Body lifts and diff-drop kits change that relationship and are incompatible.

Frequently asked questions
What does the KDSS choice change?
It selects the plate for a vehicle with or without the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System. Choose the suspension configuration your Prado has, alongside the bumper type and plate thickness.
Should I choose 6 mm or 8 mm?
For recreational off-roading and overlanding, we'd choose the lighter 6 mm SportDuty plate. We'd recommend 8 mm HeavyDuty for heavier vehicles and demanding long-distance trips. Both use the same certified alloy; the option table gives the weight for your exact version.
What comes with the skid plate?
Your skid plate comes with matching steel mounting supports, pre-installed fixings, a certificate and instruction manual, and an Almont sticker.
How do I look after it?
Give the plate a pressure wash once a year, or two or three times a year if you use it in muddy or salty conditions. Check the fixings for tightness annually as well. Follow the supplied instructions when refitting it after maintenance.
What does Almont's warranty cover?
Almont's three-year warranty covers cracking of the protection itself. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
