Massive Front and Underbody Protection for the Hilux Vigo with MorE 4x4 Steel Front – Effectively secures your pick-up's engine, front axle, and steering linkage!

The MorE 4x4 Aluminum Combined Skid Plate for the Toyota Hilux Vigo (Generation 7, Pre-Facelift) offers high-strength, extensive protection for the most vulnerable mechanical components on the underside of the vehicle's front. This skid plate covers three essential components simultaneously: the engine (including oil pan), the front axle differential, and the susceptible steering linkage with tie rods.

The Hilux Vigo is known worldwide as an untiring workhorse and expedition vehicle. However, those who drive the vehicle in rough terrain, forests, construction sites, or on overland tours quickly reach the limits of the original plastic covers. Since the Hilux has independent front suspension, the front differential housing and sensitive steering components are, by design, unprotected in the potential impact zone. Careless contact with sharp rocks, massive tree stumps, or hard impacts in deep ruts can irreparably bend the tie rods or tear open the engine oil pan – leading to immediate oil loss and catastrophic engine damage.

This vehicle-specific 3-in-1 underbody protection perfectly closes this critical safety gap on the underside of your pick-up. Thanks to its thoughtful design, this skid plate can be installed completely independently and separately, without necessarily requiring the installation of the remaining plates of the underbody system.

⚠️ Important Compatibility Note: This skid plate is specifically designed for use in combination with the MorE 4x4 Steel Bumper (Model OM-Z010) on vehicles from model years 2005 to 2011 (Pre-Facelift). It connects perfectly to this winch bumper, forming a closed, aerodynamic ramp at the front of the vehicle. It fits all engine variants (such as the 2.5 D-4D or 3.0 D-4D).

💡 Important Note on Product Images: To show you the full extent of the underbody protection on the vehicle, some photos depict multiple skid plates. The scope of delivery for this item includes only the front engine, differential, and tie rod skid plate. The other skid plates (for transmission, transfer case, etc.) are not included but can be purchased separately in our shop.

Your Advantages at a Glance:

• Perfectly Vehicle-Specific: Custom-made for the Toyota Hilux Vigo (2005–2011) – suitable for all cab types (Single Cab, Extra Cab, Double Cab) and all engine variants.

• 3-in-1 Protection Area: Highly effectively secures the engine, front axle differential, and the entire steering linkage (tie rods) against mechanical impacts and frontal collisions from below.

• Optimized for MorE 4x4 Front: Seamless transition to the MorE 4x4 winch bumper OM-Z010 – prevents branches, dirt, or mud from getting caught behind the front.

• Lightweight & Extremely Robust: Made from high-quality, 6 mm thick aluminum. This offers the ideal balance of uncompromising stability for tough use and minimal additional weight for the front axle.

• Easy Plug-and-Play Installation: No drilling, cutting, or welding on the vehicle required! The included mounting kit uses only the original factory drilled holes and threads in the robust ladder frame. Reverting to the series condition is possible at any time without problems.
