The rear differential is one of the most exposed and expensive parts under a Gladiator. This RCI skid hugs the diff to within 1/4", so it adds protection without costing you ground clearance. It clamps to the axle housing, has integrated drain holes so water and debris can escape, and leaves the differential drain plug reachable without taking the guard off. A heavy duty black powdercoat handles corrosion, and there is clearance for a pan hard correction bracket. Made in the USA.
Fitment
Confirmed on 2020 and newer Jeep Gladiator JT models with the Dana 44 rear axle, in 3.6L, diesel and 4xe form. The Moab 392 is suspected to fit but not confirmed.
What's included
The skid plate, all necessary hardware and installation instructions.
Install notes
Installs in minutes with basic tools. It clamps to the axle housing without drilling and uses existing factory attachment points. Weight is 22 lbs.
