Gearbox, Engine & Rear differential Skid Plate for Lexus TX 500h (2024-) I generation (AU10) | Kolchuga®
Protect your Lexus TX 500h (2024-) I generation (AU10) with Kolchuga® skid plates, engineered to provide exceptional mechanical protection for your engine, oil pan, and transmission. Crafted from high-quality materials, these skid plates serve as a robust shield against road hazards. Whether you choose the lightweight aluminum or durable steel option, you're ensuring that your vehicle's critical components are safeguarded 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 |
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 specifically covers the gearbox, engine, and rear differential, ensuring comprehensive protection for these critical components. Its design includes reinforcing ribs and ventilation openings, which enhance rigidity and allow for optimal airflow to maintain engine and transmission cooling. Additionally, service access openings facilitate quick maintenance without needing to remove the protection.
Kolchuga® skid plates effectively shield against rocks, ice, dirt, curbs, and speed bumps, significantly reducing the risk of damage to your vehicle's underbody. The protection not only prevents costly repairs due to impacts but also helps maintain your vehicle's resale value. Installation is straightforward, as the skid plate mounts directly to factory body points without any 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.
