If you're running a 2.0L I4 Turbo engine in your Jeep JL Wrangler, we’ve got good news: installing our Engine & Transmission Skid Plate System just got a whole lot easier.

This skid is one of the simplest systems we offer — so simple, in fact, we covered both the assembly and installation in one streamlined video.

Whether you’re assembling your kit for the first time or double-checking your hardware layout before bolting it up, this guide walks you through it all.

This is a complete start-to-finish tutorial showing:

  • How to stack and align the 7075-T6 aluminum base with the UHMW polymer wear surface

⚙️ Why This Skid System is Built to Perform

This isn’t a throwaway steel plate with a few bends in it.

The JL 2.0 Turbo Engine/Trans Skid uses:

  • 3/16” 7075-T6 aluminum for unmatched strength-to-weight

  • 1/4” UHMW polyethylene to slide, absorb, and rebound from impacts

  • Zinc-plated steel brackets for rock-solid mounting to your frame

Whether you’re crawling Moab or cruising Colorado backroads, this system protects your drivetrain without adding unnecessary weight.


🚙 Compatibility & Fitment

This system is specifically designed for:

  • 2018+ Jeep JL Wrangler

  • With the 2.0L I4 Turbo engine
