Rubicon Express Transfer Case Skid Plate

Very simple install with all the protection you need. Did it myself in a parking lot in less than an hour with basic tools.

I purchased this as a 3 piece set of the skid plates Rubicon express offers (Transmission, Oil pan and Transfer case skid). As a system they are great. Tolerances are tight, plates are thick and hardware is good quality. This fit great on my 2015 Rubicon 4dr.

This installed pretty easily. If you have an exhaust modification, you'll need to do some work to get it to fit. Otherwise, the hole line up well and the quality of the product is good. However, the packaging is a solid 1 star. It is simply a cardboard box with NO padding/protection whatsoever. I ended up using some touch up paint to prevent rust.

Well made skid plate, but it requires some modifications to work with the secondary transmission cross member on the Rubicon JK. Basically you need to cut away a slot to allow clearance. Also, it doesn’t use one of the factory mounting bolts. You’ll need to measure & drill a new hole if you want to use it.

Great but have some help

Nicely built

Fits good

This skid is larger than I had expected which was a nice surprise. It bolts onto the cross member and has a recessed bolt in one key location that would get a lot of contact over varied terrain. This skid has been combined with the other Rubicon Express skid plates well with the complete set. The transmission skid was the only one in the set that I gave a review less than 5 stars in the system as a whole. I am confident that the now largely invisible Transfer Case is well protected by this 3/16" piece of high quality metal. All these skids are made from the same grade metal and given recent experience with off-roading with them on they have held up very well. This system fit well on my 2013 Moab Edition JKU.
