It doesn’t just cover one area. It protects the full underside, reducing risk across multiple critical systems in one setup.
Lightweight Aluminium Advantage
The aluminium build keeps weight low so your Jimny stays responsive, efficient, and balanced on tough terrain.

The powder-coated finish resists corrosion, even when exposed to mud, water crossings, and coastal driving.
