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.

Awesome product
This is an awesome product and it is advertised as it says on their website. Customer service was phenomenal and they were prompt to answer my questions I had. Will most definitely be adding more skid plates to my Jeep. Thank you for your service and your help.

Bada$$ belly skid system.
After hours of research for a complete belly skid system for my JK, I went with the Rock Hard 4x4 system. Easy install with simple hand tools and a floor jack to help steady the heavier plates. If you don’t have a floor jack a second set of hands will suffice. Their cross member is super stout compared to the factory cross member. Would definitely buy this system again or for another rig.

Heavy Skid Plates
My bro-in-law has Rock Hard skid under his JK Rubicon and they have protected his vehicle well. I can’t wait to see how they protect my ‘06 Wrangler!

Engine/transmission skid plate
I ordered the steel skid plate for my Jeep JK and I am very pleased with my purchase. It’s very solidly made and fit well. In my case I had to ask for a second spacer and they sent one out right away, free of charge. Only issue I had was two of the bolts were a bit short for a second spacer.

Fits Perfectly!
The skid plate fits perfectly and is easy to install. For reference, the skid plate clears a Dynatrac Prorock 44 front.
