Designed and built in the Italian Apennines. A 6 mm high-strength aluminium skid plate shielding the fuel tank: light, corrosion-proof and engineered to absorb impact by deforming rather than failing. Bolts to the existing holes — no extra drilling.

On the Samurai, the fuel tank is one of the most exposed points of the underbody. On technical terrain it is among the first components to meet rock, and damage there means stopping the vehicle exactly where it stands.
The MG Off Road fuel tank skid plate is made from 6 mm high-strength aluminium and covers the full vulnerable area of the tank.
This is the most important part of the product, and it does not come down to "harder is better".
Harder aluminium alloys tend to crack under a concentrated impact against bare rock. The alloy used here behaves differently: it absorbs impact energy by deforming, with no cracking and no sudden failure. That is the behaviour you want from a plate built to take hits, not to survive a single one.
Two further practical advantages:
The plate uses only the holes already present on the vehicle: no extra drilling, no welding, no permanent modification. The fit is direct and fully reversible.
Designed and built entirely in Italy, in our workshop in the Apennines, to stay with your Samurai through years of hard use.
