Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Honda Passport (2019-) III generation (YF) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Honda Passport (2019-) III generation (YF) with Kolchuga® skid plates, crafted from high-quality materials to provide exceptional durability. Available in two variants, this protection features either a 2 mm thick steel shield or a lightweight 3 mm thick aluminum option. Designed to be a robust shield for your engine and gearbox, it effectively safeguards critical components from damage caused by road hazards.
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 covers the engine and gearbox areas, providing comprehensive mechanical protection. It features reinforcing ribs that enhance rigidity and shock-absorbing elements that help dissipate impact energy. The design includes ventilation openings to ensure optimal airflow for cooling while maintaining the vehicle's aerodynamic efficiency.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and other debris encountered on the road. Its installation enhances mechanical protection while reducing the ingress of dirt and moisture, which can accelerate corrosion. The skid plate is designed for easy installation, mounting directly to 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.
