Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Dodge Challenger (2008-2019) III generation incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Dodge Challenger III (2008-2019) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, made from 2 mm thick steel. This robust protection acts as a shield for your engine and gearbox, safeguarding them from potential damage caused by road hazards. With its durable construction, it ensures your vehicle's critical components remain shielded from impacts during your drives.
The main Kolchuga® protection panel is made from high-quality steel with a thickness of 2 mm. Steel protection is available with two coating options, providing different levels of corrosion protection.
| Coating | Protection Technology | Purpose and Benefits | Corrosion Warranty |
|---|---|---|---|
| WhiteCover® | Hot-dip galvanizing (compliant with EN ISO 1461). | Reliable and long-lasting coating. Ideal for vehicles with very intensive use (e.g., commercial vehicles). | Up to 24 months |
| ZiPoFlex® | Premium combination: Hot-dip galvanizing + Polymer painting + Polymer lacquer. | The ultimate solution for any, even the most demanding operating conditions (corrosivity category C5). | Up to 36 months |
This skid plate covers the gearbox and engine, providing comprehensive protection against potential threats from below. Its design includes reinforcing ribs and strategically placed ventilation openings, which allow for optimal airflow while maintaining protection. Service access openings are also integrated, making it convenient for maintenance tasks.
The Kolchuga® skid plate is designed to absorb impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage to your vehicle's critical components. Its installation is straightforward, as it mounts to existing factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a hassle-free setup.
How does Kolchuga® protection differ from the factory one? The factory (stock) protection is typically a plastic dust cover (splash guard) or thin composite material. Its main function is protection from dirt and dust. In contrast, Kolchuga® protection is a durable metal plate (steel or aluminum) that serves as a mechanical shield. It provides reliable protection from impacts against rocks, branches, or open manholes. The key difference: Factory protection guards against dirt, while Kolchuga® guards against impact.
