This skid plate covers critical areas including the rear differential, transfer case, radiator, gearbox, and engine. Its construction features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings to maintain optimal cooling for the engine and transmission. Additionally, many models include service access openings, allowing for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against impacts from rocks, ice, and road debris, significantly reducing the risk of damage to your vehicle's underbody. Its installation is straightforward, mounting directly to the factory points without the need for drilling or welding, ensuring a seamless integration with your vehicle.
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.
