Product Description

The DV8 Offroad SPJL-12 Front Differential Skid Plate protects your Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT's Dana 44 front axle from the rock strikes and hangups that can crack a housing or trigger an oil leak mid-trail. Its five-point mounting design keeps it locked in place even on rough, technical terrain, so your differential stays protected when it matters most.

Made from thick 5mm steel and finished in a durable micro-texture black powder coat, it's built to take repeated abuse without cracking or warping. Installation is a simple bolt-on job with no drilling required, and the paintable aluminum logo plate lets you match it to your rig's styling. Just confirm you're running a factory Dana 44 front axle without an aftermarket differential cover before ordering, since this skid plate won't fit Dana 30 axles or vehicles with aftermarket covers installed.
