Product Description
Next Venture Motorsports Aluminum Belly Skid | 4 Door (Wrangler JK 2007-2018)
When you want to be ready for any trail any time, skid plates are important. They protect your JKs most critical components -- and you want your engine, transmission, transfer case and fuel tank in good shape while you're tackling tough terrain, technical obstacles, and of course for the ride home.
Given all of the added protection these offer over factory pieces, full belly skids become the largest piece of real estate to consider on or under your Jeep when you're looking to save weight. We chose to build these out of 5052 Aluminum for it's superior formability and strength compared to many other alloys -- as the design and shape of the skids largely determines how rigid they will stay over time. We designed these belly skids to locate bolt heads up and out of the way where possible as can be seen on the rear crossmember and fuel tank skids. The skids shown here are a pre-production unit; production units are countersunk on all the bolt holes on the bottom faces of the skids.

- One (1) full belly skid package
- Necessary hardware
- Available for both automatic & manual transmissions
- Available for 3.8L & 3.6L models

*** UHMW- Ultra High Molecular Weight option- Want to make these skid plates slippery and even more impact-resistant? Select the UHMW Option! UHMW stands for Ultra High Molecular Weight. It's the 3/8" thick black cutting board like material that can be optioned onto these skids; it is more abrasion resistance than carbon steel, and it's fairly light weight. It helps to better distribute and absorb impacts, and keep you sliding along rather than getting stuck or hanging up on an obstacle since it's slippery and self lubricating. If you select this option, the UHMW will come pre-installed on the bottom of the aluminum skids.
