JT Gas Tank/T-Case MOD Skid (Gas Gladiator Modular Skid Kit)

Not ready for a full belly skid system, but still want to add protection beneath your transfer case and upgrade your fuel tank skid over the factory stamped unit? Introducing our new Mod Skids! These are modular, affordable base systems that include the same pieces as our traditional Full Belly Skid Systems -- but broken down into multiple pieces so you can protect exactly what you want, and expand your protection later if desired.

This base skid kit (fuel tank and transfer case skid) can later be paired with the appropriate engine/transmission skid for your JT, and further expanded with our other MOD Skid options!

Please note that this will only work with JT models that are Gasoline Powered -- this will *NOT* work with any Diesel models!

Expanding to a full system later?

This page is specifically for Gasoline Powered JT Model, and covers what the rest of the system will look like once all modular items have been installed. Please note, that this purchase is ONLY for the Gas JT Fuel Tank+Transfer Case Skids and Brackets. Looking for the JT Diesel Skid System? Click here.

Want to be ready for any trail, any time? Skid plates provide advanced protection for your JT's most critical components -- your engine, transmission, transfer case, and fuel tank -- while you're tackling tough terrain, technical obstacles, and of course for the ride home.

When you're looking to save weight, given the added protection these skids offer over factory pieces, full belly skids become the largest piece of real estate to consider on or under your Jeep. Similar steel skid plates can increase weight by as much as 150 lbs over the factory skids; whereas aluminum belly skids net only a 10-20 lb increase in weight as 85 lbs of factory skid plate material is removed during installation.

Product Details

We build these skids out of 1/4" thick 5052 Aluminum for its superior formability and strength -- compared to many other alloys. The design and shape of the skids largely determine how rigid they will stay overtime. We've designed these belly skids to tuck bolt heads up and out of the way, where possible (as can be seen on the rear crossmember and fuel tank skids).

Removal of the factory fuel tank skid is required for install, netting you a 3/4" gain in ground clearance; in addition, you will lose the weight of the factory steel gas tank skid.

We also designed these pieces to be compatible with popular aftermarket suspension kits (such as the Rock Krawler and other similar Long Arm Suspension systems), larger axles, and multiple engine choices.
