JL/JT Hemi V8 Engine/Trans/Front Exhaust Skid (Modular Skid Kit) Not ready for a full belly skid system, but still want to add protection beneath your engine's oil pan, transmission pan and front exhaust crossover? 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 engine skid can later be paired with our transfer case/fuel tank MOD Skid, and further expanded with our other MOD Skid options. Expanding to a full system later? This page is specifically for Dakota Customs V8 Hemi Swapped JL and JT Vehicles. We also offer skids for Factory 392 Hemi V8 JLU Models , 2.0 Turbo and 3.6 V6 JLU Models , and 3.0 EcoDiesel JLU Models . Want to be ready for any trail, any time? Skid plates provide advanced protection for your JL's most critical components -- your engine, transmission, transfer case, DEF tank, 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. If you want to watch a walk through video of our JLU skid systems, and what installation looks like, watch the video below! This video shows a V6 system being installed, however the 392 and Hemi systems shares many of the same components. Product Details We build these skids out of 1/4" thick 5052 Aluminum because of its superior formability and fatigue strength -- compared to many other alloys. The design and shape of the skids largely determine how rigid they will stay over time. 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).
