The Artec Industries JK HD Crossmember swaps the flimsy factory transmission crossmember on your Jeep Wrangler JK for a formed 1/4" steel unit that shrugs off trail hits. Designed from factory CAD data, it bolts into the stock location for a precise fit while giving the underside of your JK real protection and rigidity.
Key Features
- 1/4" thick steel for high-abuse situations, far stronger than the factory sheet metal
- Designed from factory CAD files for a precise fit with factory components
- Bolts right in to the stock crossmember location
- CNC laser-cut and CNC-formed for consistent, accurate geometry
- Nuts pressed into steel brackets for easy, one-tool removal
- Ships pre-welded so installation is quick, and comes unpainted for easy custom finishing and touch-up
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and Unlimited JKU. Offered in two versions to match the JK's transmission crossmember change: 2007-2011 and 2012-2018. Select the version that matches your model year. If your build is adding rear suspension links, Artec also offers the JK HD Crossmember with Link Mounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which year version do I order?
The 2007-2011 and 2012-2018 versions match the JK's transmission crossmember differences. Order the one for your model year.
Does it bolt in or require welding?
It bolts right in to the factory crossmember location. Designed from factory CAD files and shipped pre-welded, it installs without fabrication.
What is the difference between this and the version with link mounts?
This is the standard crossmember for underbody protection and strength. The version with link mounts adds integrated suspension link anchors for long-arm and custom link builds.
Why is it unpainted?
It ships bare so you can finish it to match your build and touch up scratches easily. Pair it with the Artec JK Under Armor Bellypan Kit for full underbody armor.
