ARB Underbody Protection for VW Amarok Series 1 (2010-2022)
Owners of the Amarok Series 1 know how capable these vehicles are off-road – but also how exposed the underside can be. An ARB Amarok S1 underbody is engineered specifically to reinforce those weak points so you can use the vehicle’s full capability with confidence.
Why the Amarok S1 underbody is essential
The UVP system is made up of multiple interlocking steel panels that run from the front crossmember rearwards. For the Amarok Series 1, this layout is tuned to protect the sump, lower engine components and transmission from direct hits.
The Amarok S1 underbody focuses protection exactly where the Amarok Series 1 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
- Panels shaped to preserve airflow around critical cooling components.
- Recessed mounting hardware to help the vehicle slide over rocks, ruts and ledges.
- Protection for sump, gearbox and key underbody components off-road and on rough worksites.
- Durable powder-coat finish to withstand UK road salt, mud and year-round weather.
- Service-friendly layout with access points for routine maintenance.
Built for real-world off-road and work use
For touring and overlanding, reliability is everything. Knowing that the underside of your Amarok Series 1 has genuine ARB steel protection means you can focus on the line ahead rather than worrying about every rock and rut on the track.
Damage to an exposed sump or gearbox casing can easily run into four figures once recovery, repair and fluids are taken into account. By adding a properly engineered ARB system to your Amarok Series 1, you significantly reduce the chance of an unlucky impact turning into a very expensive breakdown.
Because ARB develops full vehicle packages, the underbody system is engineered with compatibility in mind. It sits correctly with ARB front protection and other accessories commonly fitted to serious Amarok Series 1 builds.
