Innovative Skid Protection. The BDS Belly Pan Skid Plate is engineered to protect the underside of the Jeep Wrangler TJ from damage encountered during off-road use. It increases ground clearance—approximately 1-1/4 inches on 2002–2006 models and 1/2 inch on 1997–2002 models—allowing the vehicle to traverse rough terrain more effectively while safeguarding the transmission and chassis. This plate is a critical upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced durability and performance under demanding conditions.
Construction and Appearance. Crafted from heavy-duty 3/16" steel, the skid plate is built to withstand serious abuse. It features a robust design with a built-in transmission mount that improves clearance without requiring motor mount modifications. The plate also adds structural rigidity to the chassis, contributing to overall vehicle strength.
Installation. Installation typically requires 1-2 hours and may involve some exhaust hanger modification depending on model specifics. The process does not demand complex drilling and is straightforward with provided instructions.
Application. Specifically designed to fit 03-06 4.0L Jeep Wrangler TJ with Automatic Transmission.
