Every part is CAD-engineered, laser cut, welded and finished in-house, and the company backs its structure and coating with a lifetime warranty.

Diesel DEF Skid System - Jeep JL Wrangler

On the diesel JL the DEF tank hangs low and is made of plastic. Breaking it on a rock means not just a spill but the ECU derating the engine. This 3/16" plate closes it off from below.

Specification

• Skid plate: 3/16" (4.8 mm) hot rolled steel, laser cut, CAD formed
• Brackets: 3/16" steel
• Finish: Gold Zinc
• Fitment: Jeep JL Wrangler Diesel 2018 and up

Gold Zinc finish

Every part is gold zinc plated. Unlike paint or powder coat, zinc protects the steel electrochemically even where it is scratched - and skid plates are scratched from the first trip out. The surface can be painted if you prefer a custom finish.
