Skid Plate

[JMT]

What skid plate(s) can I replace my stock shovel with, that don't require an SYE and CV? I'm looking for something flatter that can tie into the Skid Row Engine, Oil Pan, Tranny under armor.

I have undercover fab works. I like it, more clearance then factory, it's taken some abuse, and good customer service. But not sure if it would tie into your other skids.

I was checking it out. Curious if I could do the UCF Deep Cover Skid Plate System (covers engine all the way back to skid plate) with the 2" drop and LO Pro Mount and not have to do an SYE and CV? I already have a MML and will have a BL. That would give me more clearance than stock skid. Little pricey all together in aluminum, ($832), but would be worth it. Thoughts?

Hard to find one that doesn't take some expensive mods. The 2" drop even with the Lopro mount is still lifting the tcase almost 2". You'd be hard pressed to not get some serious vibs with that and your current lift.

You might take a look at the Nth Degree Tummy Tucker https://www.nthdegreemobility.com/wrangler_tummy_tucker_03_06_tjlj_manual_old_style. I believe that Skid Row says that their oil pan skid ties into the TT with some slight modifications.

Don't do the low pro mount. It adds engine vibes, especially at idle, and requires a bit of modification to fit it. I'd suggest a custom weld in cross member like the Poly setup. and a 3" skid from UCF or Barnes. Rokmen makes one too that might fit the bill.

Thanks for the link, I'll check out Nth

On that note, I could do the 1" from UCF and TCase drop it till I'm not getting vibes, then if I SYE and CV later I can remove it...
