Suzuki Jimny Gen 3 Radial Cup Protectors

Jimny Gen 3 radial cup protectors help shield all four exposed radius-arm mounting cups from rocks, ridges and other trail hazards. Des Sol designed each guard to fit closely around its mounting cup without adding unnecessary bulk beneath the vehicle.

Des Sol makes the protectors from 3mm STRENX 700 steel. In addition, the bolt-on kit includes specially designed washers that support the protector sides while the installer tightens the hardware.

Protection for All Four Mounting Cups

The radius-arm mounting cups sit in exposed positions beneath the Jimny. As a result, they can strike rocks or hard ridges when the vehicle crosses uneven terrain.

A direct hit can dent, bend or mark an unprotected cup. Therefore, this set of four Suzuki Jimny radial cup protectors creates a barrier between the mounting points and the terrain below.

However, the guards cannot prevent every type of damage. Drivers should still choose their route carefully and inspect the underbody after a hard impact.

3mm STRENX 700 Steel

Des Sol uses 3mm STRENX 700 steel to provide strong protection without unnecessary weight. Furthermore, the formed shape follows each mounting cup closely and helps retain useful ground clearance.

The E-coated and powder-coated finish adds protection against dirt, water and harsh trail conditions. Nevertheless, owners should check the finish after off-road trips and repair deep chips before corrosion develops.

Special Washer Design

Tightening a cup protector without the correct support may pull its sides inward. The guard could then press against or damage the outside of the original mounting cup.

For this reason, Des Sol supplies special washers with the kit. These washers support the protector sides and help each guard retain its correct shape while the installer tightens the hardware.

Important: Always install the supplied washers in the positions shown in the Des Sol instructions. Do not replace them with standard washers unless Des Sol approves the alternative.

Model Compatibility

These Jimny underbody cup guards fit the Suzuki Jimny Gen 3. However, confirm compatibility if the vehicle has modified radius arms, altered suspension mounts or other underbody accessories.

The protectors must not touch the radius arms or restrict suspension movement. Therefore, the installer should check clearance through the suspension’s working range.

Installation and Inspection

A trained installer should fit all four protectors and use the supplied support washers. The installer must tighten the hardware evenly and make sure the sides remain correctly positioned around each mounting cup.

After installation, inspect the hardware after the first off-road trip. Also, check the guards during normal services and after any heavy impact. Tighten loose hardware and replace any badly bent, cracked or damaged protector.

Warning: Do not use the radial cup protectors as jacking, towing or recovery points.
