The ultimate XL underbody protection for your Bulli – Highly effectively secures your van's engine, manual/DSG transmission, and transfer case!

The MorE 4x4 aluminum combination skid plate for the Volkswagen Transporter (T5, T6, and T6.1) offers high-strength, large-area protection for the entire front and central drive unit of your van. This well-designed XL skid plate simultaneously covers three of the most critical and expensive components on the underbody: the engine (including oil pan), the main transmission (manual or DSG), and the directly adjacent transfer case (for all-wheel drive models).

Whether as a camper conversion for long-distance travel, a construction site vehicle, or for demanding forestry operations: VW buses inherently have a long wheelbase and are relatively low in the front underbody area. When driving over crests, rocky dirt roads, hard embankment edges, or massive tree stumps, this entire drive zone is extremely vulnerable. An careless impact can tear open the aluminum oil pan or damage the transmission housings – leading to acute oil loss and extremely expensive consequential damage.

This vehicle-specific 3-in-1 underbody protection perfectly closes this safety gap on your Bulli's underbody. The smooth surface also ensures that the vehicle glides over obstacles in an emergency instead of getting stuck. It is precisely designed for installation under the original factory front bumper.

💡 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 large front combination skid plate for the engine and transmission. Other skid plates (such as for the rear axle differential on 4Motion models) are not included in the scope of delivery but can be purchased separately in our shop.

Your advantages at a glance:

• Maximum Model Compatibility: Tailor-made for the VW Transporter T5, T6, and T6.1 – suitable for all wheelbases (short/long), all body styles (Multivan, Caravelle, Transporter, California), and all engine variants.

• 3-in-1 Protection Area: Protects the engine, main transmission, and transfer case simultaneously with a single, continuous skid plate from mechanical impacts and deformation from below.
