The JL eTorque Aluminum Skid shields the 48V eTorque battery on your Jeep Wrangler JL — a vulnerable, expensive component that hangs exposed under the vehicle. Cut and formed from 1/4" 6061 aluminum, it's dramatically more heavy-duty than the thin factory skid yet adds only about 6 pounds, and it actually gains ground clearance over stock. It's part of Artec's modular JL bellypan system, so it can stand alone or integrate with the rest of the skid lineup.
Key Features
- 1/4" 6061 T6 heat-treated aluminum skid — far stronger than the OEM battery skid
- Adds only around 6 lbs to the vehicle
- 3/16" zinc-plated steel mounting brackets
- CNC laser-cut and formed from factory CAD data for a precise fit
- Countersunk bolts sit flush for a smooth bottom that slides over rock
- Nuts pressed into the steel brackets allow one-tool removal for service
- Gains additional ground clearance over the OEM skid; made in the USA
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-present) equipped with the 48V eTorque mild-hybrid battery. Note that this skid is NOT compatible with the Artec JL4118 exhaust skid, so plan your bellypan configuration accordingly. It bolts to factory mounting points and integrates with the rest of Artec's modular JL skid system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this fit my Jeep?
It fits the 2018-and-newer Jeep Wrangler JL equipped with the 48V eTorque mild-hybrid battery. If your JL does not have eTorque, this skid is not the right part.
How much weight does it add?
Only about 6 pounds, while being far more heavy-duty than the factory battery skid.
Does it require welding?
No. It bolts to factory mounting points with countersunk bolts and pressed nuts, and can be removed with a single tool for servicing.
Can I run it with the exhaust skid?
No. This eTorque skid is not compatible with the JL4118 exhaust skid. If you want full underbody coverage, look at the rest of Artec's modular JL bellypan skids, such as the JLU exhaust skid for applicable configurations.
