Keep enjoying your Hilux Vigo on rough tracks with Almont duralumin beneath the central transmission area. The guard covers the transmission, gearbox and central differential on the 2005-2016 application, with 6 mm SportDuty and 8 mm HeavyDuty options.
The 6 mm PDTHLB6 weighs 11.5 kg and suits lighter off-road use. The 8 mm PDTHLB8 weighs 16 kg and is our choice for heavier vehicles and more demanding rocky travel. Both are certified AW5083 H111 duralumin, with the extra thickness providing the reason to choose HeavyDuty.
This is certified AW5083 H111 duralumin: a high-strength aluminium alloy that keeps material weight below steel of the same size and thickness. You get a substantial barrier beneath the vehicle, and a scratch in the plate does not turn into red rust. It is still worth keeping the alloy and the separate steel mounting hardware clean, especially after winter salt or muddy trips.
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.
