Disclaimer: The information on this page describes RCI Metalworks' own warranty policy. It is not a warranty offered by NVMOS (No Visible Means of Support LLC). Manufacturers update their terms at any time; we review these pages periodically, but the manufacturer's current official policy is the one that applies to your claim.

This RCI plate protects the exposed exhaust system without costing ground clearance. Stiffening ribs add strength, ventilation slots cut down heat buildup, and drain holes let water, dirt and debris out. The underside is smooth and flat, and steel brackets support the plate. At just 25 lbs it has a good strength-to-weight ratio. You can choose 3/16" steel or 1/4" aluminum; black powdercoat is available, or you can run raw aluminum.
Fitment
Confirmed on the 2020 and newer Gladiator JT with the 3.6L gas engine and the 2018 and newer Wrangler JLU 3.6L. The 4xe is suspected to fit. It is confirmed not to fit the JT/Gladiator diesel.
What's included
The skid plate, all hardware and installation instructions.
Install notes
Direct bolt-on to existing factory attachment points, no drilling or cutting, and it installs in minutes.
Questions before you order?
Fitment questions are easier to settle before the box ships. Call or text Carl & Anton at (920) 249-7744 or use the chat — real humans in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, not a call center.
