Radiator, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Jeep Cherokee (2013-2019) V generation (KL) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Jeep Cherokee (2013-2019) V generation (KL) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, made from durable 2 mm steel. This robust protection serves as a shield for your engine, oil pan, and transmission, safeguarding these vital components against mechanical damage from road hazards. With this skid plate, you can drive confidently, knowing your vehicle is equipped to withstand impacts from below.
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 provides extensive coverage for the radiator, gearbox, and engine, ensuring that these crucial areas are well-protected. The construction includes reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and impact absorption. Additionally, strategically placed ventilation openings help maintain optimal engine temperature while service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively safeguards against damage from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. This robust shield not only provides mechanical protection but also helps reduce corrosion and improves aerodynamics. The installation is straightforward, mounting directly to factory points without any drilling or modifications required.
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.
