Gearbox, transfer and application-specific fuel-line/filter area
Required companion part
Matching Almont front skid plate
Installation
No drilling; linked front mounting required
Carry the protection beyond the front of the truck.
The obstacle does not stop at the front bash plate. As the Raptor passes over a crest or uneven ledge, the middle of the vehicle needs attention too. Almont’s gearbox and transfer guard extends the protected area rearwards, including the fuel-line area covered by this application.
The petrol V6 part is PDFRB28Raptor. It is an 8 mm alloy guard that must be installed with the matching Almont front plate because their mounting points are linked.
SKU: PDFRB28Raptor
What the extra section protects
The plate covers the gearbox and transfer area, with application-specific coverage for the fuel-line/filter area. Almont uses EN AW-5083 H111 aluminium alloy in its HeavyDuty 8 mm specification; the guard weighs 12 kg.
It is the logical next guard when you are building coverage along the underside, rather than protecting only the first area to meet a rock or rut. Fuel-tank protection remains a separate component further back.
The front plate is required
This guard must be installed with the matching Almont front plate because their mounting points are linked. Budget for both if the correct front protection is not already fitted.
We would choose the front guard around the climate and cooling layout—Continental for its intended cooler mixed use, or Emirat for hot-climate and dune requirements—then have the installer verify the complete mounting combination.
Select the petrol version
The V6 petrol and 2.0 diesel versions use different references. Select the Raptor V6 3.0 vehicle option for PDFRB28Raptor; the diesel reference is PDFRB38Raptor.
This is not the gearbox guard for the previous-generation 2019–2022 diesel Raptor.
Fitting and upkeep
The guard fits without drilling, using the linked front mountings. Fitting includes checking transmission and exhaust clearance and securing the hardware.
Inspect the plate and mounts after rough use, clear trapped mud and look for evidence of contact with the components above. A protection plate is not permission to use it as a recovery or jacking point.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit it on its own?
No. It needs the matching front skid plate because the mounting points are linked.
Which version is for the V6 petrol?
PDFRB28Raptor, selected through the Raptor V6 3.0 vehicle option. The diesel plate has a different reference.
Does it protect the tank as well?
No. The standard- or long-tank guard is a separate section.
Will it fit the earlier diesel Raptor?
No. This is the next-generation arrangement; the previous-generation diesel uses its own part.
Does fitting need drilling?
No drilling is needed. The matching front guard and linked mounts are required.
