The Rock Slide Engineering Rigid Series Skid Plate is a robust front bumper protection solution designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler JL models from 2018 to 2022, including both 2-door and 4-door variants. Engineered to safeguard critical components during off-road adventures, this skid plate offers reliable defense against rocks, debris, and rough terrain. It is especially beneficial for Rubicon models, providing dedicated protection for the electronic sway bar disconnect system, a vital feature for enhanced off-road articulation.

Built for Jeep enthusiasts who demand durability and peace of mind on challenging trails, this skid plate integrates seamlessly with Rock Slide Engineering’s Rigid Series front bumpers, ensuring a perfect fit and uncompromised protection.

Key Features:

Designed with precision and durability in mind, the Rock Slide Engineering Rigid Series Skid Plate offers the following key features:

• Constructed from 3/16 inch thick steel for superior strength and impact resistance
• Protects the electronic sway bar disconnect on Rubicon models to prevent damage during off-road use
• Compatible with all Rock Slide Engineering JL/JT Rigid Series Front Bumpers, including models with or without bull bars
• Textured black powder coat finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and a rugged appearance

• Limited lifetime warranty on powder coat ensures long-lasting durability and finish retention
• Designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler JL 2018–2022 2-door and 4-door models
• Excludes fitment on JT Mojave models due to shock reservoir placement

Construction & Design:

The skid plate is fabricated from heavy-duty 3/16 inch steel, providing a tough barrier against trail hazards. Rock Slide Engineering employs a state-of-the-art automated powder coating process that begins with acid etching the raw steel to ensure superior adhesion of the textured black topcoat. This finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also delivers a durable, non-reflective surface that complements the rugged aesthetic of Jeep vehicles.

Its design integrates seamlessly with the Rigid Series front bumpers, maintaining factory mounting points and preserving vehicle ground clearance. The skid plate’s form is engineered to shield the electronic sway bar disconnect mechanism on Rubicon models without interfering with its operation.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation is straightforward and can typically be completed within 30 minutes using common hand tools. The skid plate mounts directly to Rock Slide Engineering’s Rigid Series front bumpers, with included hardware simplifying the process. No vehicle modifications are required, ensuring a clean, bolt-on fit.

Note that this skid plate is not compatible with the Jeep JT Mojave model due to the unique shock reservoir location on that vehicle. It fits all other Jeep Wrangler JL 2018–2022 2-door and 4-door models equipped with Rock Slide Engineering Rigid Series front bumpers.

What's Included:

• Rigid Series Front Bumper Skid Plate

Ideal For:

This skid plate is ideal for Jeep Wrangler JL owners who frequently take their vehicles off-road and want to protect critical front-end components from damage.

Whether you’re a weekend trail rider or a serious overland enthusiast, this skid plate offers reliable protection without compromising vehicle aesthetics or functionality.
