The JL/JT Replacement HD Crossmember from Artec Industries swaps the factory transmission crossmember for a fully welded, dual-thickness steel unit built to survive rock strikes and hard trail loads. Cut from 1/4" and 3/16" steel and modeled off Jeep's factory CAD, it arrives pre-welded and drops into the Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT with pressed nuts for a one-tool install — a stronger foundation for the transmission mount and the suspension hanging off the belly.
Key Features
- Built from 1/4" and 3/16" steel for high-abuse situations where the stock stamped crossmember folds
- Ships pre-welded as a complete assembly — no fabrication to finish
- M12 internal weld nuts deliver an OE fit and finish
- Pressed nuts allow easy, one-tool removal down the road
- Designed directly from factory CAD files for precise fitment
- Bare steel finish is touch-up and powder-coat friendly
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020 and up Jeep Gladiator JT. It is offered in standard and long-arm versions, so match the crossmember to your suspension: choose the long-arm version if you are running or planning an Artec long-arm kit. Verify your build's arm configuration before ordering.
