1987-1995 Jeep YJ Wrangler
|
|
| |
|
Our engine/transmission skid plates for the '87-'95 Jeep YJ Wrangler are available
for both the 4 cylinder and 6 cylinder engines. No one else makes a skid plate to
protect the engine and transmission of your YJ. Nobody!
|
| |
|
These skid plates are designed to provide complete coverage for your vulnerable
engine oil pan, transmission, AND the front portion of your exhaust system. Unlike
some of our competitors, you don't need to buy two different skid plates to get
less coverage. One easily installed skid plate provides the complete protection
you need to feel confident while on the trail.
|
| |
|
These skid plates are made of 3/16" thick steel that is laser cut and CNC folded
for consistent quality that sets the standard for Jeep skid plates. They are also
reinforced with 1/4" thick steel angle along the driver's side to provide plenty
of strength while easily clearing both your exhaust system and your driveshaft.
(Most of our competitors have interferences with one or the other, but not Skid
Row!) Our skid plates are also sand-blasted prior to being powder coated to assure
that the finish adheres better than our competitor's coatings. We use a semi-gloss
black for an attractive finish that's easy to touch up when necessary.
|
| |
They mount solidly to the Jeep's frame and are specially designed for easy bolt-up
installation with minimal drilling. Only two holes will need to be drilled through
the leading edge of your transfer case skid plate for the carriage bolts that hold
the two skids together. In addition, an oil drain hole has been provided to make
changing your oil possible without removing the skid plate.
|
| |
|
We've also learned during our off-road testing that these engine skid plates help
you get over obstacles by preventing your transfer case skid plate from catching
on whatever you're driving over. So you not only get added protection and peace
of mind, your Jeep will be more capable as well!!

Please note that 4 cylinder models built after May 1995 use TJ oil pans.
- This means that the oil drain hole is on the side of the pan, not the rear...which
is different from all previous model years. While we don't make a separate skid
plate for these models, we can provide a part to use as a template to make a new
drain hole. This piece can then be used to fill the original hole. Obviously, cutting
and welding of the skid plate will be required for this modification. If you need
this piece please ask us for a skid plate munchkin and we'll provide it free. If
you're unsure, it's best to contact us and ask.

Shown is the engine skid plate on a four cylinder '94 YJ Wrangler. Notice how much
the skid plate protects and how it's mounted to provide you with the strongest,
toughest engine skid plate available.

Here's another view of the skid plate. Notice that this side of the skid plate is
open to make it easy for you to clean it out with a hose.

We tested our YJ skid plates for clearance on our 30 degree articulation ramp.....

....and on the trail. Our Mud Puppy is on the Rattler 1 trail in Paragon Adventure
Park near Hazelton, PA. Click on the picture to get a larger view so you can see

This shot shows how the strut rod attaches to the underside of the driver's side
motor mount. This creates a very strong mounting point that clears the driveshaft
even on full compression.
