Asfir 4x4 Jeep Gladiator JT Full Underbody Skid Plate Kit (5 Pcs)

Premium 1/4" Aluminum Protection. No-Drill Installation. Gas & EcoDiesel Compatible.

Ultimate Armor for Your Gladiator JT

The Asfir 4x4 5-Piece Skid Plate Kit is the definitive underbody protection system for the Jeep Gladiator JT. Whether you are running the 3.6L Pentastar Gas engine or the 3.0L EcoDiesel, this kit is engineered to shield your most vulnerable components from jagged rocks, stumps, and trail debris.

Manufactured with precision, Asfir 4x4 utilizes high-strength laser-cut aluminum and reinforced steel to provide maximum coverage without the massive weight penalty of traditional all-steel plates. This kit ensures your drivetrain, fuel system, and differentials remain intact during the most demanding overland expeditions.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Factory "protection" is often thin stamped steel or plastic that folds under the weight of a Gladiator. One bad line on the trail can lead to a punctured oil pan or a cracked transmission case, leaving you stranded with a $5,000+ repair bill.
The Asfir Solution: We provide 1/4" (6mm) aerospace-grade aluminum and 5/32" (4mm) steel differential guards. It’s a 100% bolt-on shield that protects your investment while maintaining ground clearance.

Engineered for the Trail: Key Features

No-Drill Installation

Designed as a 100% bolt-on kit. It utilizes existing factory mounting points, meaning no drilling, cutting, or welding is required on your JT frame.

High-Strength Aluminum

Constructed from 1/4" (6mm) premium aluminum. This provides extreme impact resistance while keeping the total kit weight under 72 lbs to save your payload.

Reinforced Stiffening Ribs

Integrated structural ribs increase the rigidity of the plates in critical impact zones, ensuring the plates don't deform under heavy pressure.

Maximum Ventilation

Precision-cut ventilation slots and water outlets prevent overheating of the transmission and allow for easy cleaning of mud and debris after a trail run.

Corrosion Resistance

Includes heavy-duty, zinc-coated steel mounting brackets that resist rust and road salt, ensuring long-term durability in any climate.

Full Coverage

Protects everything from the front differential to the rear, including the engine, transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank.

Steel Diff Protection

Unlike the aluminum body plates, the differential skids are made from 5/32" (4mm) steel to handle direct dragging over sharp rocks.

Lightweight Efficiency

At only ~70 lbs, this full kit provides the protection of steel at nearly half the weight, preserving your Gladiator’s fuel economy and handling.

Tested in the World's Toughest Terrain

Asfir 4x4 has been the leader in off-road armor for over 30 years. Every Gladiator JT kit is laser-cut for a precision fit that accounts for the specific geometry of the 3.6L Gas and 3.0L Diesel drivetrains. This isn't a "universal fit" product; it's a tailored suit of armor for your Jeep.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"Install was incredibly straightforward for my Gladiator Diesel. I've dragged these over granite in Moab and they held up beautifully. The aluminum is thick enough to take a beating but light enough that I didn't need to upgrade my front springs. Highly recommend for any serious Jeeper."

- Mike S., Gladiator JT Rubicon Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Why choose aluminum over steel skid plates?

Aluminum is roughly 1/3 the weight of steel. For a heavy vehicle like the Gladiator, using aluminum saves your payload and prevents your suspension from sagging. Asfir's 1/4" aluminum is strong enough to absorb significant impacts and "slide" over rocks rather than denting permanently.

+ Will this kit fit the Mojave or Rubicon trims?

Yes, the kit is compatible with Rubicon and Mojave trims. However, if your Gladiator already has some factory metal skids, the Asfir plates will replace them to provide more comprehensive, lighter-weight coverage.

+ Do I need to remove the plates for oil changes?

Asfir designs their skid plates with maintenance in mind. The engine skid plates include access holes for oil drainage, though depending on your specific tool setup, some users prefer to drop the front plate (which is only a few bolts) for a mess-free experience.

+ Will this work with a suspension lift kit?

Yes, these skid plates mount to the chassis and are compatible with most aftermarket suspension lifts. They do not interfere with control arms or shock mounts.

+ Is drilling required for the fuel tank skid?

No drilling is required. The fuel tank skid plate is designed to bolt directly to the frame using supplied corrosion-resistant brackets.
