Gearbox, Engine & Radiator Skid Plate for Lexus LBX (2023-) I generation (AY10) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Lexus LBX (2023-) I generation (AY10) with the Kolchuga® skid plate, crafted from high-quality materials in either 2 mm thick steel or 3 mm thick aluminum (AluOx®). This essential accessory acts as a robust shield for your vehicle's engine, oil pan, and transmission, safeguarding these critical components from potential damage caused by road hazards. With Kolchuga®, you can drive confidently, knowing your underbody is well-guarded against impacts.
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 |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
This skid plate specifically covers the gearbox, engine, and radiator, ensuring comprehensive protection for essential components. Its design features reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, which enhance rigidity and allow for optimal airflow to maintain engine temperatures. Additionally, many models include service access openings, facilitating easier maintenance without removing the protection.
This protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, reducing the risk of damage to your vehicle's underbody. Installing the Kolchuga® skid plate provides mechanical protection, decreases the likelihood of corrosion, and improves aerodynamics, all while being mounted to the factory points without the need for drilling or modifications.
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.
