This skid plate provides comprehensive coverage for the gearbox, engine, and rear differential. Its construction features strategically placed reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings that enhance durability and allow for optimal airflow, preventing overheating. Additionally, service access openings simplify maintenance tasks, such as oil changes, without the need to remove the entire shield.
Kolchuga® protection shields your vehicle from impacts caused by rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps. By preventing damage to vital components, it extends vehicle life and reduces maintenance costs. Installation is straightforward, as it mounts 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.
