Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Toyota RAV 4 (2012-2018) IV generation (XA40) incl. Facelift | Kolchuga®
Protect your Toyota RAV4 (2012-2018) IV generation (XA40) with the Kolchuga® skid plate made from 2 mm steel. This robust protection acts as a mechanical shield for your engine and gearbox, safeguarding them from potential damage caused by road hazards. With its durable design, this skid plate offers peace of mind, ensuring your vehicle's critical components are 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 |
This protection covers critical areas, including the engine and gearbox, providing a comprehensive barrier against environmental threats. The design features reinforcing ribs for added strength and ventilation openings to ensure optimal airflow, maintaining engine temperature. Additionally, service access openings allow for easy maintenance without removing the skid plate.
Kolchuga® skid plates are engineered to absorb impacts from rocks, ice, and other debris, effectively preventing damage to your vehicle's critical components. The installation is straightforward, requiring no drilling or modifications, as it mounts directly to the factory points. This not only enhances mechanical protection but also minimizes corrosion and improves aerodynamics.
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.
