Tow Wiring Skid Plate - Jeep JL Wrangler
The tow wiring harness sits under the rear bumper and the factory skid is a thin bracket that does little. This 1/4" steel plate replaces it.
Specification
- Plate: 1/4" (6.4 mm) hot rolled steel
- Finish: black powder coat
- Fitment: Jeep JL Wrangler 2018 and up
Black Textured Powder Coat
The powder coated version carries MetalCloak's signature micro-textured semi-gloss finish. It resists stone chipping and local trail damage can be touched up without refinishing the whole part.
Important fitment limitation
It does not fit the diesel JL Wrangler due to DEF tank interference. On a diesel, consider the DEF tank skid (6378) instead.
What owners say
7 reviews averaging 94%. One practical note:
"You could jack the Jeep up off the tow wiring skid plate, it's certainly a beefy skid plate way more beefy than I had envisioned. My beef is there is no drain holes for water to drain out, even the original Jeep mount had a slot in it to drain water and debris." - 3/5
If you drive in mud and winter conditions, consider drilling a few drain holes yourself and treating the edges.

Easy. About 30 minutes. No body modification.
