Aluminium Underrun Protection Engine & Steering Nissan Navara D40 Pathfinder R51

Massive front and underbody protection for the popular Nissan 4x4 platform – highly effective protection for engine, front axle, and steering linkage!

The MorE 4x4 aluminum combination skid plate for the Nissan Navara D40 (pickup) and the identical Nissan Pathfinder R51 (SUV) from model years 2005 to 2010 (pre-facelift models) offers high-strength, extensive protection for the most important mechanical components at the vehicle front and front underbody: the engine (including oil pan), the front axle differential, and the vulnerable tie rods and steering cables.

Both the Navara and the Pathfinder are extremely popular vehicles for long-distance travel, overlanding, and heavy commercial use. Since both models feature independent front suspension, steering components, tie rods, and the front differential are unprotected in the potential impact area. Careless grounding on sharp rocks, massive tree stumps, or hard impacts in deep ruts can irreparably bend the steering 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 in the underbody. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, this skid plate can be installed completely independently and separately, without necessarily requiring the remaining plates of the underbody system to be installed.

💡 Important note regarding 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 main gearbox, transfer case, etc.) are not included in the scope of delivery but can be purchased separately in our shop.

Your advantages at a glance:

• Perfectly vehicle-specific: Tailor-made for the Nissan Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51 from model years 2005–2010 (pre-facelift) – suitable for all engine variants (such as the proven 2.5 dCi).

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

• Maximum bumper flexibility: The intelligent design fits both under the original factory front bumper and under the MorE 4x4 steel bumper (model Z017). A later bumper upgrade is therefore possible without replacing the underbody protection!

• Light & extremely robust: Made from high-quality, 6 mm thick aluminum. This offers the ideal balance of uncompromising stability for tough off-road 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 fastening kit exclusively uses the original factory drilled holes and threads in the ladder frame. Reversal to series condition is possible at any time without problems.
