Protect the rear shocks on your locker-equipped HDJ80
Your locker-equipped 80 Series is built for the difficult sections. Give its rear shocks some dedicated protection with this pair of 8 mm Almont duralumin guards, matched to the HDJ80 VX/VXL application with the original rear differential lock.
Choose the correct 12V or 24V application
The pair weighs 4.5 kg. Select PDTS18LV1 80VX 3 Bloqueo for the manufacturer's 12V application, or PDTS18LV2 80VX 3 Bloqueo for its 24V application. The selectable option identifies the version: both merchant variants carry the same PDTS18LV SKU.
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.

Matching protection
For the HDJ80 application without the original rear locker, choose the separate non-locker rear shock guards and match its 12V/24V option.
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
Why do both options show the same SKU?

Are two guards included?
Yes. This is a pair for the rear shocks, and the complete pair weighs 4.5 kg. Fitting requires TIG spot welding.
Will the plate rust if it gets scraped?
The duralumin plate will not form red rust when scratched. Wash off mud and road salt to help prevent other corrosion and to look after the separate steel brackets and fixings.
