This robust shield is designed to guard your engine and gearbox against mechanical damage, acting as a reliable barrier against impacts from below.

This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the engine and gearbox, ensuring that these vital areas are protected from potential damage. Its construction includes strategically placed reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that help maintain optimal temperature while enhancing rigidity. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick and easy oil changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle from hazards such as rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. The installation of this skid plate not only provides mechanical protection but also reduces corrosion risk and improves aerodynamics, contributing to better vehicle performance. Installation is straightforward, requiring no drilling or modifications, as it mounts directly to the factory points.
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.
