Easy install and looks good

Shipping was fast and works well. Haven’t put it to much use yet but gives good protection to the oil pan and trans lines.

High quality material, easy install.

Plates well built and very easy to install! Highly recommend getting the oil drain kit they offer or you’re gonna have messy plates when you change your oil!

Thanks for the recommendation! Glad the installation went smoothly. And great tip about the Fumoto valve - definitely makes oil changes a lot cleaner!

Great prouduct!

Shipping was fast. Communication was great. Part fit perfect and directions were good. Skidplate was beaten mercilessly on the Rubicon Trail and held up fine. Would definitely recommend (the skidplate and the trail).

Love hearing this, Joshua! The Rubicon Trail is a serious test, and we're glad the skid plate held up to everything you threw at it. Thanks for putting it to work and for the recommendation!

Excellent construction, fit and finish, performance, and value

Works very well. Installed on a JLU Rubicon, bolted right up in about an hour. Went on a 2000 mile road trip that saw Schnebly Hill and some trails in Moab and had a chance to test it out with a little kiss on a rock, didn’t even leave a mark.

Hi Kristof, thanks so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear you're so happy with the construction, fit, finish, performance, and value of the skid plate. We really appreciate you sharing your experience!

My Jeep Has Some Real Protection Now

I had my ASFIR engine/transmission skid plate installed by a local shop with a lift about 2 months ago. While I don't go off roading, my Jeep looked very naked underneath. So I wanted some protection from day to day road debris and high grass and such. I have a 2023 Wrangler Willys with a manual transmission. And I found out in the install process of this aftermarket skid plate that the dealer removed the OEM transmission skid plate of my Jeep due to a recall remedy for the clutch overheating. So no wonder, my Jeep looked "naked" underneath! I had a shop install my ASFIR skid plate, because I wasn't able to snake those remote nuts in the frame and hold them in place while laying under the Jeep and holding a light and bracket at the same time. Other than that, and a few missing OEM parts due to the dealer, the install went off without a hitch. And I'm very glad that I had this skid plate installed to give my Jeep way more protection than I ever had before. And this aftermarket skid plate hasn't caused any vehicle codes or my clutch to overheat.

Hi Edward,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review about your ASFIR Engine & Gear Skid Plate for your 2023 Wrangler Willys! We're thrilled to hear it provides your Jeep with the added protection you were looking for.

Nice skid plate.

super happy with the skid. light yet well made. It was easy to install on my 2024 rubicon 3.6L. Shipping was fast.

Hello Jeff, we are glad to hear that you are satisfied with the skid plate. We look forward to assisting you with any future automotive needs.

Engine protection you need!

This is a great looking protector. I feel confident that it will handle all the trail abuse I generate. It looks good, fits well, and meets my expectations so far. Installation is a breeze with the exception of the "flag nuts" inside the frame. You will likely need help or a lift. I was unable to install in the driveway and had to use an automotive shop for a lift. I looks great.

Thank you for your detailed feedback, Jeff! We're thrilled to hear that our engine protector met your expectations so far. We can't wait to continue providing you with top-notch products and service in the future.

Fast delivery, great fit!

I was amazed how quickly my order showed up and how great the communication was. Quality and fit of the skid plate was perfect. Easy enough install by myself once I got the forward bolts started. Would be much easier with 2 sets of hands, but watch the install video a few times and you’ll be good to go!

Thank you for the feedback Chad!

Great option

Good quality skid. Shipped out quickly. Install could be better with better instructions

But overall a great value for the price. Would buy again

Thanks for this feedback, Steve!
Some of our products do have installation videos, but not all of them as we are still working on this matter :)

Well designed skid plate

The skid plate and mounting hardware are top notch. The directions need improvement. In particular, the flag nut directions need to be more clear with where exactly it is inserted into the frame. Better written instructions along with useful photos would have saved me an awful lot of grief before finally figuring it out.

Hey Jim,
Thanks got this feedback!

We actually have an installation video which is located at the 'Installation' tab in the product page itself, did you see that video?
If you did see the video and it was still unclear, we'd make sure to improve it as Asfir strives to learn and do better for the next customers.

Waiting for your reply,

Just purchased the engine/oil skids and am attempting to install on my 2021 JLUR 3.6L (manual).

I have the rearmost crossmember (68585940AA) to bolt the rear of the skids to, but there is no crossmember to bolt to in the middle. It wasn't stated that I need to purchase extra parts, so I'm at a loss for how to continue with installation. Please advise re: the exact part number required to facilitate fastening the two middle fasteners.

ASFIR 4x4 USA

Hi Mitchell,

Thanks for reaching out.

Some JL 3.6L manual vehicles were not equipped with the center crossmember required for installing this skid plate. Based on our experience, customers with those vehicles have purchased the required crossmember separately before completing the installation.

Unfortunately, we don't have the exact part number for the center crossmember. We recommend checking with your local Jeep dealer using your VIN to ensure you get the correct part for your vehicle.

Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions.

What grade aluminum is used? 6061TJ

ASFIR 4x4 USA

Hi,
The skid plate is made from 5052-H32 aluminum, 1/4" (6 mm) thick.
The mounting brackets are made from 5/16" (8 mm) AISI 1020 steel and are zinc-coated for corrosion resistance.

Dose this fit the 2024 Jeep Wrangler Willy's JL Sport? This is the year Jeep change the Willy's it has the same suspension as the Rubicon. Every one says it fits but been there done that...

Anthony Magaldi

I dont have a Willy's but I do have a 2024 Rubicon with the XR package. Everything should fit just fine. The flag nuts are a giant pain in the butt to get started, but once you get it, you're golden. Everything will line up and bolt together just fine. I had a long arm kit from Clayton installed prior to purchasing mine which required the removal of the front cross bar. I now have to figure out how to remedy that. The skid plate is still in place just fine, but there is no middle reinforcement for the engine skid plate.

With regards to the 3.6l engine skid plate for a 2024 Wrangler, what prevents a rock from smashing the skid plate forward supports into the engine?

jeffd

they are incredibly stout and even tho in photos the brackets look like they are made of aluminum they are in fact thick steel and attached to the frame and then the skid itself shores them up even more. I think it would take an incredible freak event for that to happen.

Eric Cheung

Front supports are bolted to the frame. If you hit with enough force to shear the bolts or the supports, the condition of your Jeep will be the least of your concerns. Also, your spotter.

Tommy White

The forward supports are pretty robust. The way they are designed limits the risk they will allow the skid plate to shift. I’ve had no issues and I tackle a lot of rocky trails.

Bryan Quinn

Depends how hard you hit it. Rock climbing in a proper manor should be ok. A large drop could damage the engine.
I found it to be the best design because it is not attached to the engine.

Edward Lawson

The scenario you are descripting would be next to impossible in my opinion. The support brackets would, if I remember correctly, end up going into the frame or outside the frame. In addition, the rear of the ASFIR skid plate is fastened in 2 separate places. Going south towards the rear differential, 2 or 3 bolts hold the skid plate to the OEM transmission skid plate. Which is like a cross member. Then going back to the end of the skid plate, 2 more bolts hold the skid plate to the Jeep's cross member. For the money and the quality of the ASFIR product, I would tell you that it can't be beat and just buy it already.

P. Shawn Friedeman

My perception is the front mounts are heavy duty enough to withstand the full weight of the Jeep coming down on the skid and there is considerable clearance between the skid and the engine/oil pan.

Warren Rumpel

If I recall correctly the pan itself attaches to the frame. It’s very solid. There is good room between the oil pan and the skid plate. I don’t see it getting hit hard enough to smash into the engine in any way.

ויקטור בדיקה

The plate is bolted on to the frame. The whole aim of the plates are to protect the engine and other assemblies form direct rock hits

D
Daniel Eisenhut

Would you need to remove it every time you change your oil?

Warren Rumpel

No, there is a good sized hole for oil changes.

Chad Info Chad Info

No, the drain hole in skid plate works well for access to the drain plug/bolt.

Joe M.

Not at all. There’s plenty of room to access the oil drain plug (on a 3.6L V-6 JL). Even better, you can install a Fumoto Valve which the skid plate fully protects and makes draining the oil even easier.
