Next Venture's JL On Board Air *Skid Plate Only* - As Seen on the LiteBrite YouTube channel!
If you are going to travel off-road, you're going to want to air down your tires. It lets your off-road tires do what they do best - conform to obstacles, grip terrain, and smooths out the ride. When it's time to hit the highway, it's time to air up. If you're done searching for the nearest gas station with air after a long day on the trail, this setup has you covered!
This includes the skid and skid plate to frame installation hardware to only. This is for do it your self-ers that want to use their own compressor/tank setup. If you are looking for our on board air *kit* that includes everything click here.
The skid plate that encloses this system mounts to 2 of the crossmembers under your JL as well as tying directly into the driver side frame rail to ensure your on board air setup is protected on the trail. The skid is laser cut, cnc formed, and hand welded in the USA from a combination of 3/16" and 1/4" steel. An aluminum heat shield is also included to keep things safe from your Jeeps exhaust.
Installation and appearance may differ slightly from pre-production units shown in YouTube videos and in photos. Functionality is the same.
Installation of the skid is almost entirely bolt on; 1 additional hole is drilled for installation.
2018+ JL Unlimited Wrangler 4 Door Models Only. This kit is designed to work with the 3.6 V6 Equipped JLU; and will NOT work with Turbo I4 models. Sage Off-Road "Air Command" bluetooth air up/down units are sold separately.
An installation guide can be previewed here -- please note that the guide was originally written for the complete kit - not the DIY version - so your choice in compressors will affect the installation.

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]
