Serious Front-End Protection Without the Weight Penalty The front underside of the Grenadier takes the first hit when the terrain turns nasty. Rocks, deep ruts, washouts and steep approach angles can quickly damage vulnerable front-end components including steering, cooling and lower engine protection areas. That’s exactly why we engineered this skid plate. Designed and manufactured in the UK to ORE’s usual high standards, this heavy-duty front skid plate is built to protect critical front underbody components from impacts, debris and repeated off-road punishment without adding unnecessary weight underneath the vehicle. Because proper protection should work with the vehicle — not against it. Engineered Around Real-World Off-Road Use This isn’t a cosmetic bolt-on accessory. Our guards have been tested daily for over 13 months by Grathwaite Adventure on a punishing professional off-road training course used by BORDA instructors, mountain rescue driver training teams and specialist off-road operators. That means repeated grounding.Repeated impacts.Repeated punishment. Developed through real-world abuse — not theory. Why ORE Uses Aircraft-Grade Duralumin Construction Most underbody protection follows one of two routes: lightweight but soft standard aluminium, or extremely heavy stainless steel. We wanted neither. That’s why ORE uses aircraft-grade Duralumin alloy — a high-strength aerospace-derived material originally developed for applications where strength, durability and low weight are critical. Our Duralumin construction is designed to absorb and distribute impact energy properly while maintaining an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The result: Superior energy absorption Greater impact resistance Roughly three times lighter than stainless steel Exceptional strength-to-weight performance Far stronger than standard aluminium Serious protection without excessive vehicle weight The Grenadier already tips the scales at roughly 2.6–2.8 tonnes before you even start adding roof tents, camping equipment, recovery gear, tools, fuel, spare wheels and all the other kit that tends to come along for the adventure. Weight matters. Especially once you start building the vehicle properly for long-distance travel and serious off-road use. Inspired by aerospace engineering principles, the material is designed to manage impacts rather than simply transferring shock loads directly into the chassis and front-end components. Strong where it matters.Light where it counts.

Proper engineering is about protecting vulnerable components without compromising the way the vehicle drives, handles, or performs off-road. That’s the difference. ORE underbody protection is engineered for Grenadiers that see real terrain, real impacts and real miles. Not just coffee shop car parks.
