Extremely robust all-wheel drive protection made of black steel – highly effective protection for your Wrangler JL's transfer case against severe off-road damage!

The MorE 4x4 Steel Transfer Case Skid Plate for the Jeep Wrangler JL (from model year 2018) offers high-strength protection for the mechanical heart of your all-wheel drive. While the engine and main transmission usually form the first line of defense on the front underbody, the transfer case is located relatively low and unprotected in the middle of the vehicle, by design, above the propeller shaft outputs.

The Jeep Wrangler JL is built for uncompromising off-road performance from the factory. However, those who drive it appropriately over rocky trails, through deep ruts, over crests, or in demanding forest use expose the vehicle to extreme dangers, especially in the central underbody area. When driving over crests, hard embankments, or massive tree stumps in the undergrowth, the center of the vehicle is highly vulnerable. If the Wrangler hits hard here, cracks or fractures in the delicate aluminum housing of the transfer case, damage to the actuator unit for the all-wheel drive control, and fatal oil loss are imminent – which immediately cripples the entire all-wheel drive and results in extremely expensive repair costs.

This vehicle-specific underbody protection perfectly closes this safety gap. The smooth surface also ensures that the vehicle glides over obstacles in an emergency, rather than getting caught on rocks or roots with the frame. Thanks to its well-thought-out design, this skid plate can be installed completely independently and separately, without necessarily having to install the remaining plates of the underbody system (such as the front engine or radiator guard).

⚠️ Important compatibility note: This skid plate is precisely adapted to the Jeep Wrangler JL models from model year 2018 with the 2.0L Turbo gasoline engine or the 2.2L MultiJet Diesel. For other engine variants (such as the 3.6L V6 or the 4xe Plug-in Hybrid), this plate is not suitable due to altered mounting points and exhaust system routings.

💡 Important note on product images: To show you the full extent of the underbody protection on the vehicle, some photos depict multiple skid plates. The scope of delivery for this item includes only the transfer case skid plate. The other skid plates (for radiator, engine, or main transmission) are not included in the scope of delivery but can be purchased separately in our shop.

Your Advantages at a Glance:

• Perfectly vehicle-specific: Tailor-made for the Jeep Wrangler JL (from 2018) – precisely matched to the 2.0L and 2.2L engine versions.

• Targeted protection area: Highly effectively shields the sensitive transfer case from mechanical impacts, hard impacts, and deformations from below.

• Uncompromising steel hardness: Made from 4 mm thick quality steel. For maximum corrosion protection in tough off-road use, the plate is two-layer black powder-coated.

• Easy Plug-and-Play Installation: No drilling, cutting, or welding on the vehicle required! The included mounting kit exclusively uses the original factory drilled holes and threads on the vehicle frame. Reverting to the series condition is easily possible at any time.
