A Grand Cherokee can make a great companion on lanes and rough tracks. Give the radiators and steering box beneath the front of your WJ or WG a substantial barrier with this Almont 8 mm HeavyDuty duralumin guard.
SKU: PDJWJA8
The plate weighs 16 kg and uses certified AW5083 H111 duralumin. It is a worthwhile addition when you want to keep using your Jeep away from tarmac while looking after the steering and cooling components exposed underneath.
Certified AW5083 H111 duralumin gives you substantial, high-strength alloy protection without the material weight of steel of the same size and thickness. The plate will not develop red rust if its surface is scratched, so it is a good choice for a vehicle you intend 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 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.
