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.
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.
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.

TIG spot welding is required to weld the mounting support to the suspension link. Have the pair installed by a fitter with the appropriate welding capability.
Designed for the original chassis, axle, suspension-link, transmission and stabiliser mounting arrangements. Raised suspension is compatible where those original supports are retained. Body lifts, differential-drop kits and altered mounting supports are incompatible.
For the HDJ80 application without the original rear locker, choose the separate non-locker rear shock guards and match its 12V/24V option.
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.
Our two variants share SKU PDTS18LV. Choose using the option: PDTS18LV1 80VX 3 Bloqueo is the 12V application and PDTS18LV2 80VX 3 Bloqueo is the 24V application.
Yes. This is a pair for the rear shocks, and the complete pair weighs 4.5 kg. Fitting requires TIG spot welding.
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.
Three years against cracking of the plate. Dents, deformation and damage to the vehicle are excluded.
