🧰 JL 392 HEMI Engine Skid Assembly — 7075 Aluminum + UHMW

Made in Colorado. Built for the Rocks.

If you’ve picked up one of our Next Venture Motorsports 7075-T6 Aluminum Engine Skid Systems for your JL 392 HEMI Wrangler, this video is for you. Before you roll your Jeep into the garage or put it on a lift, there’s a lot you can assemble right on the bench — saving you time, space, and hassle.

In our latest video, Tyler walks through assembling the JL 392 Engine Mod Skid, step-by-step. These pre-install steps make it easy to get everything ready ahead of time, whether you’re installing at home or prepping in the shop.

🔧 What’s Covered in the Video

In this detailed assembly guide, you’ll see exactly how to:

  • Identify your 392 version — early cast-aluminum oil pan vs. later stamped-steel oil pan

  • Attach the UHMW wear surface to the 7075 aluminum skid and steel bracketry

  • Use the correct hardware: 3/8" bolts, jam-nylocks, and torque specs

  • Assemble the oil drain door and exhaust crossover bracket

  • Mount the driver- and passenger-side engine brackets

  • Understand how the modular skid ties into our HD crossmember and full skid system

Every detail matters when you’re building armor for the most powerful JL to date — and this system is designed to deliver both strength and serviceability.

🛠️ Why Bench Assembly Matters

Doing this assembly before the Jeep hits the lift keeps things efficient.
By pre-building the aluminum, UHMW, and steel components together, you’ll:

  • Reduce lift downtime in a busy shop environment

  • Simplify installation once under the vehicle

  • Confirm hardware and orientation ahead of time

  • Avoid overtightening UHMW (with torque specs provided in the video)

It’s all about working smarter — and keeping your Jeep protected from the moment it hits the rocks.
