Almont Toyota 4Runner N120 / N130 Central Transmission Skid Plate - Gearbox And Transfer Protection

Summary

The Almont central transmission skid plate for Toyota 4Runner N120 1989-1995 and N130 1990-1995 puts a 6 mm certified Duraluminium AW5083 H111 shield beneath the gearbox and transfer section, giving the 4Runner's exposed centre underside a physical barrier against rocks, ruts, debris, scraping and ground contact. It is for owners preparing an older 4Runner for rough tracks, worksites or touring routes where underside hits can turn into costly disruption. A generic plate or unprotected centre underside can leave key driveline parts exposed; this Almont plate is built around the named application and linked front-plate fastening setup.

Best For

• Older 4Runner builds that see rough tracks, trail debris or worksite access where the centre underside can scrape or take hits.
• Touring and off-road prep where protecting the gearbox and transfer section is a priority before longer trips.
• Drivers completing an Almont underbody setup that uses the linked front skid plate fastening arrangement.
• Owners who want the assurance of a 6 mm Duraluminium plate rather than relying on an exposed factory underside layout.

Why It Is Worth Choosing

Rough access routes are hard on the middle of a 4x4. The central driveline section can be exposed to rock strikes, rut edges and scraping when the vehicle drops onto uneven ground. This plate helps block and deflect that contact before it reaches important underside components, adding a protective layer where damage can be awkward to deal with away from the workshop.

Included Components vs Compatible Accessories

This product is the plate for the central transmission section. The matching front skid plate is part of the setup planning because Almont's fastening arrangement links the two protection pieces for optimal fixation. Ask Hoonies Adrenaline to confirm the plate pairing and any fitting hardware requirements for your vehicle before checkout.

Fitment And Setup Checks

Use this part only when the Almont model, year range, chassis code and transmission/fitment details match your vehicle. If your 4Runner is an import, late registration, modified underside setup or already has existing armour, check the chassis and install layout before ordering.

This part is for the Toyota application above; choose the protection part that matches the actual vehicle, rather than a neighbouring platform or similar-looking skid plate.

How This Changes The Underside Job

On a rough lane or trail section, the aim is simple: let the plate take the scrape before the gearbox and transfer section does. With the 16.5 kg Almont plate planned alongside the required front protection, the centre underside becomes a clearer part of your vehicle protection setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this protect the gearbox and transfer section?

Yes. The plate is for the central transmission area and is described for gearbox and transfer protection. It should be matched to the correct chassis and setup.

Do I need the front skid plate as well?

Yes, for optimal fixation. Almont states that this gearbox and transfer skid plate must be installed together with the front skid plate because the fastening is linked.

What should I check before fitting?

Confirm the model year, chassis code, transmission details, existing underside accessories and fitting hardware requirements. If unsure, ask Hoonies Adrenaline before ordering so the plate pairing can be checked.
