2018–2022 Jeep Wrangler JL / 2020–2022 Jeep Gladiator JT
25159
Overview:
The ICON Front Pro-Series Bumper Skid is a precision-engineered accessory designed to complement the ICON PRO Series Front Bumper on Jeep Wrangler JL (2018–2022) and Gladiator JT (2020–2022) models. This skid plate provides essential protection for the sway bar disconnect mechanism and conceals the lower frame horns where the factory lower valance was originally mounted. It is an excellent upgrade for off-road enthusiasts seeking to safeguard critical front-end components while maintaining optimal ground clearance.
While the skid is highly recommended for vehicles equipped with the sway bar disconnect mechanism, it remains optional for non-Rubicon models that do not have this feature. Those users may choose to remove the skid and modify the lower valance mounts to maximize clearance when running the PRO Series Front Bumper alone.
Key Features:
Designed with durability and functionality in mind, the ICON Front Pro-Series Bumper Skid offers the following key benefits:
- Protects the sway bar disconnect mechanism from rocks, debris, and trail hazards
- Conceals and shields the lower frame horns for added structural protection
- Faceted design maximizes ground clearance without cutting or trimming the vehicle frame
- Manufactured from 3/16” thick CNC laser-cut, precision brake-formed steel plate
- Finished with a multi-stage semi-gloss black powder coat for long-lasting corrosion resistance
- Compatible with ICON PRO Series Front Bumper for seamless integration
- Optional for non-Rubicon models to allow for greater clearance by removing lower valance mounts
- Backed by ICON’s Limited Lifetime Warranty for peace of mind
- Not compatible with 2021 and newer Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 trim
Construction & Design:
The ICON Front Pro-Series Bumper Skid is crafted from heavy-duty 3/16” plate steel, CNC laser cut and precision brake-formed to exacting standards. This manufacturing process ensures a perfect fit and robust structural integrity. The skid’s faceted design is engineered to provide maximum clearance over obstacles without requiring any modifications to the vehicle’s frame, preserving factory strength and durability.
To withstand harsh off-road conditions, the skid is coated with a multi-stage semi-gloss black powder coat finish. This finish not only enhances the skid’s appearance but also offers superior resistance to corrosion, scratches, and impact damage, ensuring long-lasting protection on the trail.
Installation & Fitment:
Installation of the ICON Front Pro-Series Bumper Skid is straightforward when paired with the PRO Series Front Bumper on compatible Jeep Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT models. The skid mounts directly to the bumper assembly and frame without the need for cutting or trimming. For non-Rubicon models lacking the sway bar disconnect mechanism, the skid is optional and can be omitted to increase ground clearance by removing the lower valance mounts.
Fitment includes a wide range of Jeep models from 2018 to 2022 for Wrangler JL and 2020 to 2022 for Gladiator JT, covering trims such as Sport, Sport S, Sahara, Rubicon, Islander, Overland, High Altitude, Launch Edition, and Altitude. Note that this skid is not compatible with the 2021 and newer Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 trim.
