While out and about enjoying your weekend, things can come to a halt especially if you smack your transmission hard enough on something to crack the bell housing. Fear not, as Evo Manufacturing makes the Automatic Transmission Skid Plate. These are constructed out of a 3/16” Steel Skid, you know the same stuff super tanks are made out of. They are 100% bolt-on, and have all the hardware provided to make for an awesome Saturday afternoon project. They are also powder coated a clean black finish for corrosion resistance.
If you used something like an aFe Y pipe to route your exhaust behind the cross member this skid will not work. The passenger side mounting location will be blocked by the exhaust pipe, and cutting the extra half inch of metal away from the tab to try and make it work won't provide enough clearance. Just a heads up, otherwise I would expect this to have worked very well.
I purchased this with the oil pan skid as well as the crossmember skid for my 2014 JKUR. Jeep, in their infinite wisdom, routed a transmission cooler line under and across the bottom of the auto trans. It was just asking to get torn off by a rock. This skid plate now covers it nicely and was easy to install.
Purchased together with the transfer skid plate for my 2014 JKU. Easy to install. Better off going online and searching for install instructions. The ones that come with it are in black and white and cant tell by the pics how they are telling you to install it. The only difficult part of the install is the bolts on the transmission mounts. Difficult to get socket in the tight spot on the drivers side. All in all, great driveway install.
