Description
Enhanced Ground Clearance. The Teraflex BellyUp Skid Plate significantly improves underbody protection by raising ground clearance by up to 2-1/4 inches compared to the stock skid plate. This upgrade not only safeguards vital components but also allows for larger tire fitment, optimizing off-road capability and vehicle durability during demanding trail conditions.
Construction and Appearance. Crafted from precision CNC laser cut and bent 1/4-inch steel, this skid plate offers robust strength and resilience. Its finish features a durable black powder coat that provides corrosion resistance and a sleek, tactical appearance suitable for rugged environments.
Installation. Installation requires moderate mechanical skill and an estimated 3 hours of labor. Some adjustments may be necessary to ensure proper fit and to eliminate driveshaft vibrations. Professional installation is strongly recommended to address potential modifications and exhaust adjustments safely and effectively.
Application. Designed specifically for the 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ, this skid plate requires additional modifications when used with Rubicon or Atlas transfer cases to maintain optimal performance and fitment.
