Choosing your kit


What is 4x4 underbody protection?

expand_more
4x4 underbody protection protects your vehicle from obstacles both on, and off-road. Robust 4x4 protection will reduce expensive repair bills and offer total peace of mind, wherever your journey takes you. 


Quality protection is an essential part of any 4x4 set up, especially if you're an off-roading enthusiast. Without the right underbody protection your vehicle's key mechanical parts can be easily damaged by the impact of rocks, ruts, craters and other obstacles along the track. You might have heard of skid plates, chassis supports or rock sliders before, and these are all types of 4x4 underbody protection.


Vehicle underbody protection isn't just for those who like to drive off the beaten track though. Over time, uneven road surfaces and potholes can cause damage to the key mechanical parts of your vehicle. Luckily for you, we offer rustproof, scratch and chemical resistant stainless steel protection for every journey. Ready to get kitted out? Check out our full range today.
