The electronic sway bar disconnect that hangs below the front bumper on a Rubicon is an expensive, exposed target on the trail. This Nighthawk Front Sway Bar Skid from Artec Industries is an add-on plate that shields that disconnect actuator along with the factory frame extensions. It is CNC laser cut and formed from 3/16" steel, fully welded, and part of Artec's Nighthawk armor line for the JL.
Key Features
- Protects the electronic sway bar disconnect and factory frame extensions under the front bumper
- CNC laser cut and formed from 3/16" steel
- Fully welded and ready to bolt on out of the box
- Ships in bare steel so you can color-match it to your rig
- Includes all necessary mounting hardware and an install tool
- Made in the USA as part of the Nighthawk armor line
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the Jeep Wrangler JL and JLU (2018-present), primarily models equipped with the electronic front sway bar disconnect. Installation is a bolt-on but does require drilling two holes in the frame horns and installing nutserts (the necessary install tool is included). It ships bare so you can prime and paint or powder coat to match your bumper.
