⚙️ 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.
