Its design features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and impact absorption, while strategically placed ventilation openings ensure optimal airflow and cooling for the engine and transmission. Service access openings allow for easy oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates shield against various road hazards such as rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. By preventing damage to essential components, this protection not only extends the life of your vehicle but also reduces maintenance costs. Installation is straightforward, mounting directly to the factory points with no drilling 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.
