XJ Unibody Stiffeners (Main)
The XJ Unibody Stiffeners (Main) reinforce your Jeep Cherokee XJ's unibody to prevent bending, cracking and twisting on hardcore trails. The venerable XJ platform isn't equipped with a traditional ladder frame like many other platforms, which hasn't stopped the well established XJ community from beefing them up and making them last longer. We equip our own Jeep Cherokee XJ projects with frame stiffeners in the early phases of builds for this reason. These Unibody Stiffeners are laser cut and CNC formed with pride in the USA.
Product Details
We laser cut the XJ Unibody Stiffeners (Main) from 3/16" thick A36 Pickled and Oiled steel plate and also CNC press form them for a perfect fit every time. These parts are designed to be welded onto the unibody's main channel/ uni-frame/ mid-frame section. The design also includes precut rosette weld holes to provide additional strength in bonding the unibody to the stiffeners with plug welds.
The XJ Unibody Stiffeners (Main) extend from behind the front lower control arm and mount up to the front of the rear leaf spring mount. These items are sold as one pair: one left and one right main channel. Two pairs are pictured in this listing to show the inside and outside profiles better.
If you are working on a 84-86 XJ, you may need to remove extra material during installation.
Additionally, if you are looking for reinforcement on your XJ's front unibody, we offer XJ/ MJ Unibody Stiffeners (Front) that mate up with the front of the XJ unibody.
We ship these parts in a bare metal finish. Bare metal products may have scratches or surface imperfections as a result of raw material handling, manufacturing, and fabrication. However, these imperfections are easily covered up with a textured powder coat finish. Additional finishing, sanding, and prep work may be required if you want a smooth powder coat or paint finish.

parts inspired by the trail
Our team got into the game after rock crawling, wrenching, fabricating and being inspired to design and build parts for what we love to do: hit the trail.
what our customers are saying
★★★★★They invited me and my whole crew in for a tour of the facility on our way to Moab. These guys not only produce amazing armor for your Jeep, they are really good people. So, I’ve been running their rear diff skid for 9 months and it has easily held up to everything I’ve thrown at it.

★★★★★After this go around with Moab and Holy cross, the diff skids did their job and protected my Jeep. My rear aluminum bumper performed phenomenally on the trail!

★★★★★Can’t say enough about Dan and his ultra skilled team! Dan was able to get us in for a skidplate with UHMW & sliders for our JKUR. The fit, finish and quality are just out of this world! Can you say “stacked dimes”? Absolutely gorgeous welds…

★★★★★2 years later I'm writing this review. I've beaten the crap out of this thing hitting rocks, winching, draging it down obstacles, and now exposed to the Florida elements. The bumper looks like it did the day they sent it. You will not find a better company to work with that cares about their clients and their products!

★★★★★My rear Next Venture diff skid takes a beating! Best rear diff skid available. Well done!
Lee Bower
★★★★★Without a doubt, Next Venture Motorsports is my first stop for epic Jeep parts. Their JL aluminum front and rear featherweight bumpers are solidly built, easy enough to install, and crafted to perfection. I can't wait for more products for my 2 door JL!

★★★★★I like it because it lets you use factory fog lights if you want. They also have a featherweight aluminum option that doesn't have holes for fogs and is essentially a stubby bumper. I am very pleased with all of their stuff. [JL/JT Adventure Series Bumper]
