Quadratec Aluminum Modular Engine and Transmission Skid Plate for 18-20 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited with 3.6L engine
Protect your Engine and Transmission of your Wrangler JL with this Modular Aluminum Skid Plate from Quadratec. Our high quality skids are made from stamped 5052 aluminum, providing lightweight and strong under body protection. All Quadratec Modular Skid Plates are a simple no drill installation that’s easy to install with the included hardware and brackets. Engine Skid Plates feature removable access panels to the oil drain plug. Skid plates feature recessed bolt heads, drainage provisions and stamped embossing where applicable. The 6mm thick aluminum panels are the next evolution in under body protection providing superior strength and flexibility while minimizing weight. Why do we use aluminum for our skid plates? Aluminum’s density is about 1/3 that of steel and the advantage of the increased material thickness to offset strength actually makes aluminum more dent resistant over steel skid plates of the same weight. Aluminum is extremely corrosion resistant and will not rust even if the surface coating becomes gouged or scratched. Aluminum is the true winner over steel in cost, strength and durability. Each panel is laser cut and press formed for a precision fit and finished in a durable silver powder coat finish for awesome looks and lasting durability.
Note: Will not fit if your engine is equipped with eTorque option (ERG). Will not fit 2021 due to change in motor mounts. If unsure contact a representative with your VIN#

Quadratec Aluminum Modular Engine and Transmission Skid Plate Reviews
Very pleased with this skid plate. Lightweight, but super sturdy, and very well-made.
I ordered the engine skid plate to protect the oil pan, transmission cooler lines, and low exhaust loop. I was concerned about the previous review of losing 2" of clearance. I measured from the stock cross member and then from the new skid plate. Stock was 13 7/8 and new skid is 13 1/8. My lost ground clearance was 3/4". It was easy to install and I'm happy with the protection coverage it offers.
I'm glad I found this skid plate. I looked at a lot of other companies versions but narrowed in on these for mainly weight reasons with being aluminum vs steel and then price. Installation was pretty straight forward and it didn't take a lot of time. The most important part of the install was to keep everything pretty loose until all bolts were attached so that you didn't fight fitment. I feel so much better now that I have this plate installed for when I'm on the trails. I'm not going to suddenly loose my engine oil or transmission fluid from a rogue rock and be left stranded. The only thing I wish was different on this product was if they could have come up with a way to better protect the bolt heads from skid damage so that plate removal won't be hindered in the future.
