Interested in the front skid plate for a 2015 JKU 4-door Wrangler Rubicon. I currently have the stock plastic bumper, but want to eventually upgrade to the 10A steel Mopar bumper. I'm unclear on the options (steel vs. plastic) for this skid plate. Are they different? Or is it just different mounting hardware? If I got the plastic bumper skid now and installed it and then later upgrade to the steel 10A bumper, would I need a different skid plate?

ויקטור בדיקה

Hey Michael,
Choose the skid plate depending on your Front Bumper Type. if you would upgrade to MOPAR front bumper in the coming future, then we suggest you choose "Steel" in the Bumper Type section, as they all have different bolt points, and the "Plastic" wouldn't fit perfectly on Mopar/Steel Bumper.

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! Great to hear it fit your 2025 Renegade 4xe perfectly. We really appreciate the notes on the instructions and chat response time as well - both are helpful for us.

Enjoy the new protection, and thanks for choosing ASFIR!

How was your overall shopping experience?: Great

ASFIR makes a great product. I have installed their products on both my Gladiator and our Willys. The 2026 fitment was great, but an absolute pain in the butt to line up the nut in the frame. That took the most time. I would have given 5 stars if it were not for that design idea.

Thanks, JW! We really appreciate you coming back to ASFIR for both your Gladiator and your Willys. And thanks for the honest feedback on the installation we'll definitely pass it along to our engineering team. Enjoy the new armor!

How was your overall shopping experience?: GOOD

The installer could not find enough washers (grommets)

The installer could not find enough washers (grommets), maybe the packers made an error. I could use FOUR additional washers...these are meant to allow better sliding over rocks. PLEASE SEND.

Thank you for your feedback, Paul. We're glad to hear your overall experience was good.

We apologize for the missing washers and will be happy to help get this resolved. Please contact our customer service team at info@asfir.com or call us at 480-999-0550 with your order details so we can assist you.

Thank you for choosing ASFIR.

How was your overall shopping experience?: Excellent website and pictures. Like the reviews posted and q&a.

Excellent customer service! I wasn't sure if it would fit

Excellent customer service! I wasn't sure if it would fit. The owner was very helpful provided measurements and responding quickly to my questions. I like they provide a capable free return option as well. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the kind words, Terry! We’re always happy to help answer questions before ordering, and we’re glad the measurements and support gave you confidence moving forward. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the website experience as well. We truly appreciate your support and hope you enjoy the skid plate for many adventures ahead!
