Description

Asfir 4x4 Jeep Gladiator JT Engine & Transmission Skid Plate

1/4" (6mm) High-Grade Aluminum. No-Drill Installation. Heavy-Duty Underbody Protection.

Armor Built for the Gladiator's Long Wheelbase

The Asfir 4x4 Engine and Transmission Skid Plate is the definitive shield for your Jeep Gladiator JT. Because of the Gladiator's long wheelbase and lower breakover angle, the engine oil pan and transmission are sitting ducks for jagged rocks and high-centering trail obstacles. Whether you're running the 3.6L Petrol or the 3.0L EcoDiesel, this plate provides the essential coverage your drivetrain lacks from the factory.

Engineered with precision, this skid plate is laser-cut from 1/4" (6mm) high-quality aluminum. It offers the perfect balance of massive impact resistance and lightweight performance, ensuring you don't bog down your suspension while securing your vehicle's "vital organs."

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: Standard factory guards are often thin and leave critical gaps. One bad landing on a rock can crack your transmission case or puncture the oil pan, leading to an immediate trail-side disaster.
The Asfir Solution: We use a 6mm thick aluminum shield with integrated stiffening ribs and a 100% bolt-on design that installs in minutes without drilling into your frame.

Key Features: The Ultimate Drivetrain Shield

6mm Marine-Grade Aluminum

Manufactured from high-quality, laser-cut 1/4" aluminum. It’s strong enough to support the vehicle's weight while being 40% lighter than steel.

No-Drill Installation

Uses a 100% bolt-on assembly. No drilling or cutting your Gladiator's frame, ensuring your vehicle maintains its resale value.

Precision Fitment

Specifically contoured for the JT chassis to minimize ground clearance loss while maximizing coverage for the engine and transmission.

Integrated Stiffening Ribs

The plate is reinforced with structural ribs to prevent bending or deformation during hard impacts on technical trails.

Heat Management

Custom ventilation slots are engineered to allow airflow to the engine and transmission, preventing heat soak during heavy crawling.

Zinc-Coated Durability

Supported by heavy-duty zinc-coated steel brackets to provide maximum corrosion resistance and structural integrity.

Self-Cleaning Design

Integrated drain holes allow water, mud, and debris to escape, preventing buildup that can lead to corrosion or added weight.

Petrol & EcoDiesel Ready

Purpose-built variants for both the 3.6L Petrol and 3.0L EcoDiesel models for a perfect mechanical fit.

Lightweight Strength, Zero Compromise

We don't believe in adding unnecessary weight to your rig. The Asfir aluminum plate delivers the toughness of steel at a fraction of the weight. This means your Gladiator keeps its agile handling and fuel economy while gaining bulletproof underbody security.

Real Owner Feedback ★★★★★

"The long wheelbase on my Gladiator JT was constantly hitting the crossmembers and transmission pan. After installing the Asfir aluminum plate, I've got total peace of mind. It’s light enough that my front end didn't sag, and the bolt-on install was perfectly lined up. I’ve already taken a few hard hits in Moab, and the plate didn't even budge."

- David K., Gladiator JT Owner
⚠️ Critical Installation Note

For 3.6L Manual Gear Models: Please ensure your vehicle includes the factory OE Middle Crossmember required for proper skid plate installation. If your manual Gladiator lacks this crossmember, the plate cannot be secured.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Does this skid plate interfere with oil changes?

The Asfir skid plate is designed with maintenance in mind. While it offers full coverage, it typically features access points or is designed to be easily unbolted for full-service access to the oil drain plug and filter without removing the entire armor system.

+ Why choose aluminum over steel?

Aluminum (6mm) offers the strength needed to protect against the majority of trail impacts while remaining significantly lighter than steel. This prevents your Gladiator's front-end from sagging, improves fuel economy, and won't rust if the finish gets scratched by rocks.

+ Will this fit my 3.6L Manual transmission Gladiator?

Yes, but with one condition: you must have the factory OE Middle Crossmember. Many manual models come equipped with it, but if yours does not, you will need to source one to provide a secure mounting point for the skid plate.

+ Is drilling required for installation?

No. This is a 100% bolt-on system that utilizes the factory pre-drilled holes in your Gladiator’s frame and existing crossmembers.

+ Does this plate protect the EcoDiesel exhaust components?

Yes. The EcoDiesel-specific variant of the Asfir skid plate is extended and contoured to offer protection for the engine, transmission, and sensitive exhaust/emissions components typical of the 3.0L platform.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
