Can someone tell me what these are on my skid plate?

[drh7675]

I have a 2004 Rubicon 5 speed. When attempting to change my transfer case oil, I needed to drop my skid plate. When looking at my skid plate, I find a bunch of other things attached to it, all of which also have to drop. I have been unable to identify a skid plate like this or the attachments. Can someone tell me what these things are. Pics attached. Thanks

Transmission mount in the middle and your air locker compressors. Stock skid plate.

That round black object with the two rubber hoses attached is one of the two 5 psi air compressor that powers your Rubicon's lockers.

That looks all factory to me, as jerry said those are the air pumps for the lockers. Also to note is the skid plate is also supporting your transmission, so you can’t just pull the skid plate down without supporting the transmission. The transmission mount is the 4 studs you see in the middle of the skid plate.

Clean the skid, pull the plug on the transfer case, let it drain through that hole in the skid, clean the skid again.

That there is your blinker fluid pump. If you lose prime then you have to purge your blinker tank refill and bump the engine 6 times in clockwise and counter clockwise to bleed it.

Rubicon Air Locker pump has to be removed when dropping skid plate on a rubicon. Thats what that is. be careful the air hoses slide off easy.

Ugh… @drh7675 posted in the wrong forum, I moved the thread, and somehow the posts didn’t go with it. I will fix it. I wish people would understand what the “how to guide” section is for

You really dont need to drop the skid to change the fluid, I change my with the skid on it just gets a little messy.

But if you do support the transmission with a jack before you drop it.
