The TJ/LJ Under Tailgate Plate covers one of the most-abused spots on a Wrangler: the exposed body panel directly below the tailgate. Cut from 3/16-inch aluminum, it bolts on to armor that area against rocks kicked up off the rear tire and against impacts when you drag the back end over an obstacle. It keeps a low, clean profile so it protects without changing the look of your rig.
