The frame hangs low, the crossmember creates a catch point, and the drivetrain components are exposed. When you start dragging the belly over rocks, bolt heads, skid edges, and drop-down sections become hang-up points that stop forward progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory design was not built for repeated contact with obstacles. It leaves gaps in protection and creates multiple edges that catch instead of slide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Motobilt Jeep JT Gladiator Skid Plate System replaces the factory layout with a fully integrated underside designed to move across obstacles instead of getting stuck on them. This is a complete 4 piece skid system that ties together using recessed hardware and keyed overlaps, creating a smooth, continuous surface from front to rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system includes an integrated crossmember that adds strength while eliminating the factory drop point. Each skid section is designed to work together, forming a flat belly that allows the Jeep to slide over rocks rather than hang up on exposed components or bolt heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccess and serviceability were also considered during design. The system includes a large oil pan access panel and allows individual skid sections to be removed without disassembling the entire system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system was developed by builders who understand how the JT platform behaves on the trail. It is built for real rock crawling use where clearance, strength, and smooth surfaces matter more than factory compromises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 2020 and newer Jeep JT Gladiator with 3.6L engine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips bare steel and must be painted or coated before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome Gladiator models require drilling into the frame and crossmember for exhaust skid installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes weld nuts for required drilling locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest fit all components before final coating\u003cbr\u003eDesigned to replace factory skid and crossmember layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome JT models will require drilling holes in the frame and crossmember for the exhaust skid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstall included weld nuts after drilling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest fit entire system before coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlan installation around drivetrain access and support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual skid sections can be removed later for maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-price-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"no-js-hidden\" id=\"price-template--17212016164948__main-product\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Motobilt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43502275559491,"sku":"MB1106","price":1824.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/0456\/5571\/files\/MB1106-Image_01_1220x_crop_center_8c6be42e-5ecf-4a71-9795-043c3b44481f.webp?v=1783451909","url":"https:\/\/gumotorsport.com\/en-us\/products\/motobilt-skid-plate-system-for-2020-jeep-jt-gladiator","provider":"GUMOTORSPORT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
