This skid plate covers vital areas including the radiator, gearbox, and engine. Its construction features reinforcing ribs that enhance impact resistance and ventilation openings that promote optimal airflow for cooling. Additionally, service access openings allow for quick maintenance tasks without the need to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields against rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage to your vehicle's underbody. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a secure fit.
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.
