Replacement HD Crossmember for Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT
The Artec Industries Replacement HD Crossmember swaps the stamped factory transmission crossmember under a Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT for a fully welded, dual-thickness steel unit. Cut from 1/4" and 3/16" plate and modeled directly off Jeep's factory CAD, it arrives as one pre-welded assembly that bolts into the stock location — a much stronger foundation for the transmission mount, and one that will not fold when the belly meets rock. It is the fix for JL and JT owners who have already dented the factory piece or plan to wheel hard enough to.
Features
- Dual-thickness 1/4" and 3/16" steel construction for high-abuse use
- Ships pre-welded as a complete assembly — no fabrication to finish
- M12 internal weld nuts give an OE fit and finish
- Pressed nuts allow easy one-tool removal later
- Designed from factory CAD files for precise bolt-in fitment
- Offered in standard and long-arm versions
- Bare steel finish is easy to paint or powder coat
Fits the Jeep Wrangler JL 2018-2024 and Gladiator JT 2020-up. Match the version to your suspension: the long-arm variant suits rigs running or planning an Artec long-arm kit, while the standard version matches factory-style arms — verify your arm configuration before ordering. It comes in bare steel, so paint or coat it before install. JK owners should see the JK HD Crossmember. Browse more crossmembers and Jeep Gladiator parts.
Replacement HD Crossmember for Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT FAQs
Does it require welding to install?
No. The crossmember ships fully pre-welded as a complete assembly and bolts into the factory location using M12 internal weld nuts. The pressed nuts also mean you can drop it later with a single tool for transmission or transfer-case service.
Standard or long-arm — which version do I need?
Choose the long-arm version if you run or plan to run an Artec long-arm suspension kit on your JL or JT; the standard version matches the factory-style control-arm layout. Verify your arm configuration before ordering, since the two are not interchangeable.
Does it come painted?
It ships in bare steel, which keeps it easy to touch up and lets you paint or powder coat it to match the build. Coat it before installation — unfinished steel under a daily-driven rig will surface rust.
