Description

ARB Underbody Protection for Mitsubishi L200 B40 MK4 (2006-2015)

Whether your L200 MK4 is a workhorse, touring rig or weekend green-laner, the underside is constantly at risk from debris, ledges and deep ruts. A properly designed ARB L200 MK4 skid plate is built to take the punishment so your important mechanicals don’t have to.

Why the L200 MK4 skid plate is essential

The UVP system is made up of multiple interlocking steel panels that run from the front crossmember rearwards. For the L200 MK4, this layout is tuned to protect the sump, lower engine components and transmission from direct hits.

The L200 MK4 skid plate focuses protection exactly where the L200 MK4 is most vulnerable, spreading impacts across strong steel surfaces so the plate takes the hit instead of your sump or gearbox.

Key benefits of ARB underbody protection

• Service-friendly layout with access points for routine maintenance.
• Recessed mounting hardware to help the vehicle slide over rocks, ruts and ledges.
• Panels shaped to preserve airflow around critical cooling components.
• Durable powder-coat finish to withstand UK road salt, mud and year-round weather.
• Heavy-duty pressed and folded steel skid plates for serious impact resistance.

Built for real-world off-road and work use

If you tow, work the vehicle hard or carry heavy loads, your L200 MK4 is already doing a big job. ARB underbody protection adds the safety margin that keeps it working, even when clearance is challenged or terrain becomes unpredictable.

On technical lanes, washed-out farm tracks or construction sites, the front underside is usually first to strike. With ARB underbody protection fitted, the L200 MK4 is much better equipped to cope with unexpected drops and sharp ledges, reducing the risk of cracked casings or punctured sumps.

If you are planning a full ARB build – including barwork, canopy, roof rack or suspension – this underbody system is the foundation that keeps those investments protected on the tracks.
