Heavy-Duty Front and Underbody Protection for the Grand Vitara 2 Pre-Facelift with MorE 4x4 Steel Front – Highly Effective Protection for Engine, Front Axle, and Steering Linkage!

The MorE 4x4 Aluminum Combination Skid Plate for the Suzuki Grand Vitara 2 (Generation 2, 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 (incl. oil pan), the front axle differential, and the susceptible steering linkage with tie rods.

The Grand Vitara 2 holds a special position in the off-road segment: thanks to its rigid monocoque chassis structure with integrated ladder frame and permanent all-wheel drive, it is surprisingly capable off-road. However, those who drive the vehicle off paved roads, for hunting, in forests, or on overland tours will quickly reach the limits of the original, thin plastic covers. Since the vehicle has an independent front suspension, the front differential housing and the sensitive steering components are inherently unprotected in the potential impact area. Careless grounding on sharp rocks, hidden 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 4x4. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, this skid plate can be mounted completely independently and separately, without the need for the rest of the underbody system plates to be installed.

⚠️ Important Compatibility Note: This skid plate is specifically designed for use in combination with the MorE 4x4 Steel Bumper (Model MO-Z024) on pre-facelift vehicles from model years 2005 to 2008. It connects perfectly to this winch bumper and forms a closed, aerodynamic ramp at the front of the vehicle. It fits all engine variants (such as the 1.9 DDiS diesel or the 2.0L / 2.7L V6 petrol engines).

💡 Important Note on Product Images: To show you the complete course of the underbody protection on the vehicle, some photos show multiple skid plates. The scope of delivery of this item includes only the front engine, differential, and tie rod skid plate. The other skid plates (for gearbox, 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 Suzuki Grand Vitara 2 Pre-Facelift (2005–2008) – suitable for the short 3-door and long 5-door models, as well as all engine variants.

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

• Optimized for the MorE 4x4 Front: Seamless transition to the MorE 4x4 Winch Bumper MO-Z024 – prevents branches, dirt, or mud from getting caught behind the front.

• Light & Extremely Robust: Made from high-quality, 6 mm thick aluminum. This offers the ideal balance of uncompromising stability for heavy-duty 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 exclusively uses the original factory drilled holes and threads on the vehicle frame. Reverting to the series condition is easily possible at any time.
