Superleggera Series: American-Made high-strength Aluminum Skid plates, an upgrade from, well, nothing, most MK3 skid plates dont have a transmission skid and if they're lucky they might still have the plastic splash guard our mid skid replaces, the transsmision lacks any coverage, making this armor kit suited for the average off-roader, it will protect against thrown rocks, sand hills, snow, mud, logs and debris, it's not suited for rock crawlers but suits more than most users without breaking the bank or weighing down the rig.

Application:

Thinking about taking your Gen 3 Montero off road?

It's dangerous out there for a capable rig to go unprotected. The Gen 3 did not come with much underbody armor like it's predecessors, the gen 1 and 2 were equipped with far more underbody protection than the gen 3. Likely a cost savings purpose, what should've been metal was only covered with plastic. We've resolved this issue, and then some.

3 piece Package contains the 3 skids below:

1. Gen 3 Front Skid plate (replaces factory stamped steel plate)

Two piece kit contains only the following two skids  

2. Gen 3 Differential and Axle disconnect skid plate (replaces plastic splash guard)

3. Gen 3 Transmission skid plate (replaces nothing, there was no protection)

Installation is simple and uses factory hardware, (excluding transmission skid, drilling holes is required in cross member.) if your hardware is missing, replacement hardware is available at any hardware or home repair store. So simple and yet such a drastic improvement in a Montero, these skids will armor you up for all of the terrain to come. Factory like fit, but hardcore protection. Some users have had to space the front skid with washers rather than trim plastic brackets for the factory bumper. These skids are designed for maximum approach angle and protection. Some drilling is required, some plastic trimming is optional on older models.
