Aluminum DEF Tank Skid for Jeep Wrangler JLU 3.0L EcoDiesel 2020-2023
The 3.0L EcoDiesel Wrangler hangs its diesel exhaust fluid tank low enough that one bad line through a rock garden can end the trip. This Artec DEF Skid covers that tank with 1/4" 6061-T6 heat-treated aluminum on zinc-plated steel brackets, bolting up with countersunk hardware that matches the OEM thread. It was developed from factory CAD files and Creaform 3D laser scans, so it hugs the tank instead of hanging below it, and it slots into Artec's no-overlap diesel bellypan system as the DEF piece of the puzzle. If you wheel an EcoDiesel JLU, this is the component that keeps a punctured DEF tank off your repair bill.
Features

- Zinc-plated steel mounting brackets resist corrosion under the truck
- Custom countersunk bolts match the OEM thread and sit flush so rocks slide past
- No-overlap design mates cleanly with Artec's other JLU diesel skids without stacking panels
- Modeled from factory CAD data and Creaform 3D laser scans for a precise fit
- CNC laser cut and formed for strength; made in the USA
- Straight bolt-on installation — no welding or drilling
Fitment is specific: the 4-door Wrangler JLU with the 3.0L EcoDiesel, 2020-2023 — gas models don't have a DEF tank and don't need this skid. It's designed to run alongside the JLU Diesel Full Bellypan with Oil Door for complete diesel underbody coverage, and it pairs with front-axle armor like the JL Shield CAD Skid.

Aluminum DEF Tank Skid for Jeep Wrangler JLU 3.0L EcoDiesel 2020-2023 FAQs
Which Wrangler does this DEF skid fit?
It fits the 4-door Jeep Wrangler JLU with the 3.0L EcoDiesel, 2020-2023. The skid is engine-specific — gas-powered JLs don't carry a DEF tank, so this part only applies to the diesel.
Is this a bolt-on install or do I need to weld?
It's a straight bolt-on. The kit includes zinc-plated steel brackets and custom countersunk bolts that match the OEM thread, so it goes on with hand tools and no welding or drilling.
Does this skid cover the whole diesel underbody?
No — it protects the DEF tank specifically. It's designed as the companion piece to Artec's diesel bellypan and T-case/fuel/DPF skids, with a no-overlap fit so the panels sit flush together. Add those pieces for full EcoDiesel underbody coverage.
