More details

The factory plate on these Jeeps attaches directly to the engine and transmission, so an impact does not spread out and the plate is easily defeated. This RCI plate covers the engine, transmission and exhaust pipe, with reinforced edges between the crossmembers and a smooth flat underside that slides over obstacles. It is laser cut in 3/16" steel or 1/4" aluminum. Steel comes with black powdercoat, and aluminum can be powdercoated or left raw. The support crossmember is always 3/16" powdercoated steel. Made in the USA. This item is made to order and ships on a lead time; RCI posts current lead times on its site.

Fitment

Custom fit for 2018 and newer Wrangler JLU gas models (stock and mid arm) and 2020 and newer Gladiator JT. It does not fit the 3.0 EcoDiesel, 2.0 Turbo or Rubicon 392 and Willys 392 submodels.

What's included

The skid plate and support crossmember, with all hardware and installation instructions.

Install notes

Direct bolt-on to existing factory attachment points with no drilling, and it installs in minutes. Weight is 44 lbs.
