FAQ:
Long Arm or Short Arm skid plate?
To determine which skid plate you need, simply look at your suspension goals. If you are or have relocated your control arm mounts on your frame, then you need the long arm skid plate. If your control arms are in their OEM locations, as in you did not cut off and weld in new control arm mounts, then go with our short arm skid plate.

Do I experience any driveline vibration or noise?
No. Our oil pan / transmission / dual cat skid mounts away from all driveline components giving you factory like performance. You'd never know the skid was even installed!

Do I have to remove or replace my factory cross member with an aftermarket one to install this skid plate?
No.

I've read I have to remove my crossmember to install this skid plate. Is that true?
No, it's a common question. On newer Jeep Wrangler JK's there's a factory "skid" that takes up the same real estate as our skid plate. That must be removed to install our skid plate.


Will this skid work with my HEMI swap?
We offer HEMI swap specific brackets. Please click here.

Is my 3.6L exhaust loop covered?
No. Your exhaust loop produces enormous amounts of heat that can be trapped by a skid plate in that area. If it becomes too hot it will crack and fail.

I ordered this for my ‘11 JKU Sahara that is used both on and off roading. The installation video was really helpful and I installed it without even using a jack, but I do have a 2� lift so that helped. No issues during installation and it fits and looks great. An added and nice benefit is that it offers protection against CAT thefts as it covers them nicely and makes cutting them off diffi

Rock Hard 4x4™ Aluminum Oil Pan / Transmission Ski
Bought all three aluminum skid plates at once. No issues on the install. I’m very confident that the ¼” thick aluminum will hold up just fine. Put it the test down at Tierra Del Sol this year, and basically just scratched the powder coating off. I really wanted the weight savings, which is about 70 to 80 pounds over steel. You would have to be an animal to your jeep to want steel.Thanks for a
