Rear differential, Gearbox & Engine Skid Plate for Lexus TX 350 (2024-) I generation (AU10) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Lexus TX 350 (2024-) I generation (AU10) with the ultimate engine protection solution from Kolchuga®. This premium skid plate is available in two material options: durable steel with a thickness of 2 mm or lightweight aluminum AluOx® with a thickness of 3 mm. Designed to act as a mechanical shield, it safeguards critical components such as the engine, oil pan, and transmission from potential damage caused by road hazards. Experience peace of mind knowing your vehicle is equipped with an armor that stands strong against the elements.
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 |
Aluminum protection (thickness 3 mm)
The protection is made from the exclusive AluOx® aluminum alloy, alloyed with magnesium. The alloy is lightweight, strong, and durable; the addition of magnesium increases specific strength and provides corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemically aggressive environments. This protection does not require additional protective coating or anodizing (unlike steel ones), as it has natural corrosion resistance.
This skid plate covers vital zones including the rear differential, gearbox, and engine. It features a robust construction with reinforcing ribs that enhance impact resistance, as well as ventilation openings that maintain optimal airflow for cooling. Service access openings allow for quick oil and filter changes without removing the protection.
Kolchuga® protection effectively shields your vehicle against impacts from rocks, ice, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage to critical components. The installation process is straightforward, as it mounts directly to the factory points without the need for drilling or modifications, ensuring a hassle-free setup.
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.
