ARB Ford Bronco Under Vehicle Protection Panels (2021+)

DESIGN  AND  DEVELOPMENT

ARB  Under  Vehicle  Protection  panels  are  designed  to  give  protection  to  vital  underbody components  including  steering,  engine  sump,  transmission and press  formed  and  folded  3mm  sheet  steel  is  used  in  ARB  UVP transfer  case.  Laser  cut, to  provide  superior strength. The ARB  UVP  to  suit  the Ford  Bronco  consist  of  four  carefully  designed  panels.  The front, sump  and  transmission  and  transfer  case  panels  bolt  directly  to  the chassis  to  provide continuous  under  vehicle protection from  the  front  bumper  to  the  rear  of  the transfer  case. Each UVP  panel  includes  a  return edge to  add  strength to  the 3mm  panel.   To  retain the strength and  protection required of  an  ARB  UVP,  full  vehicle  servicing  will require the removal  and  refit of  panels  to  obtain access  to  drain  plugs  and  other  service points.  This  provides  an  opportunity  to  check  for  damage and  buildup  of dirt  and  foreign matter.  Provision  is  provided  to  drain engine  oil  only  with  removable insert  in the second panel. ARB’s  UVP  will  fit with or  without  an ARB  front  bumper.  Fitment has  not been confirmed  with other  bumper  designs.

WEIGHTS  AND DIMENSIONS   

Approximate weight  of  the UVP  and  fitting  kit is  88lb.  The front panel  weighs  approximately 24lb,  the  Differential  / Sump  panel weighs  approximately  20lb,  and  the  Transmission  panel weighs  approximately  22lb  and  Transfer  Case  panel  weighs  approximately  14lb.   Shipping  Dimensions:  45  x 29  x 8in Shipping  Weight:  95lb   NOTE:  While these panels  have been engineered  for  strength and  functionality,  care and good  judgement  should  be taken when traversing  difficult off-road  conditions  to  minimize damage to  panels  and  vehicle. During  servicing,  when  panels  are removed,  ensure fasteners  are re-fitted  to  the correct torque values.  Inspect panels  and  mounting  points  visually  on a  regular  basis.  Dirt and foreign matter  should  be  washed  out to  minimize  build  up  around  hot components. CAUTION  is  required  when removing  foreign matter  with hands  while vehicle is  hot  or running.  Replace any  components  as  necessary.
