ALUMINUM SKID PLATES FOR HEAVY DUTY
YET LIGHTWEIGHT PROTECTION
FOR 3.0L ECODIESEL GLADIATOR
Artec Industries' NEW JT Gladiator Bellypan is designed to give your 2021+ Jeep Gladiator ECO DIESEL full protection underneath the vehicle. Designed using CAD files directly from the manufacturer and ultra-precise 3D scans, this belly pan skid plate ensures that you have a great fit with factory components. Made from 1/4" thick 6061 Aluminum and 3/16" zinc plated steel, and CNC cut and formed, the Artec JT Bellypan Kit offers both a strong and lightweight solution for your new Jeep JT.
NOTE: 1.5"+ LIFT REQUIRED FOR USE WITH BELLYPAN
- Lightweight Aluminum adds very little weight to the vehicle yet covers far more and is heavier duty than factory skids
- 6061 T6 Aerospace grade Aluminum is tougher than the other 5052 aluminum options on the market...there is a difference.
- 6061 Aluminum has a memory so when it bends, it pops back into shape...steel skid plates just dent and stay dented.
- Increases ground clearance of 3/4" from factory skids and even more compared to other aftermarket skid plates
- 1/4" 6061 Aluminum for skid plates, 3/16" zinc plated steel brackets
- Designed from factory CAD files and ultra-precise 3D scans for great and ultra precise fit.
- CNC laser cut and CNC formed using custom rolled dies for high strength, unique look, and perfect contour fitment to OEM components.
- All bolts under skid plate are countersunk for absolutely smooth bottom
- Factory frame bolts replaced with countersunk bolts with tapered washers for improved rock clearance and less drag
- All nuts are pressed into steel brackets for easy, one tool removal
- Bolts directly to OEM T-case crossmember and frame using heavy duty flat head bolts that match OEM thread
- No need for an aftermarket T-case crossmember for completely flat surface
- Modular design lets you take off only one section for vehicle servicing
- Fuel filter moves up for extra ground clearance and includes an Access Panel for easy servicing.
- Protects Oil Pan, Transmission Pan, Gas Tank, Front Exhaust, mid vehicle Exhaust and Transfer Case
- OEM gas tank skid is replaced for reduced weight and 3/4" higher clearance*
- Artec Gas tank skid can be removed without dropping entire tank thanks to new additional cross-member and tank strap.
- Clearance near rear drive yoke shaft to prevent rubbing
*OEM gas tank skid removal required. For easiest install, remove skid when tank is near empty. See instructions for simple ideas on removing OEM gas tank skid.
* From what we have found the crossover pipe may need to be modified slightly by heating the crossover pipe with a small torch (map gas or propane ) and pinch the pipe some with a c clamp to clear the oil pan skid (don't worry it crushes down from the factory next to where you would need to pinch) A majority of JL/JT will not have the contact, but due to factory variance from Jeep's factory, there is a small amount of affected vehicles.
