DV8 Offroad JL/JT Sway Bar Disconnect Skid Plate for 2018-2025 Wrangler JL & 2020-2026 Gladiator JT







DV8 Offroad JL/JT Sway Bar Disconnect Skid Plate for 2018-2025 Wrangler JL & 2020-2026 Gladiator JT
The DV8 Offroad Sway Bar Disconnect Skid Plate provides targeted underbody protection for Jeeps equipped with electronic sway bar disconnect systems, focusing on the vulnerable disconnect motor found on Rubicon and Mojave models. Constructed from 3mm steel plate, it shields the motor from impacts with rocks, roots, or trail obstacles that could otherwise damage this exposed component during serious off-roading. The design also conceals exposed frame horns or crash bars when an aftermarket front bumper replaces the factory one, delivering a cleaner undercarriage appearance without added bulk.
Vented panels maintain essential airflow to the engine bay, helping prevent overheating under high-RPM trail conditions common in overlanding and rock crawling. Four bolt-on mounting points use factory locations for a secure, no-drill installation that integrates cleanly. The micro-texture black powder coat offers solid corrosion resistance while keeping a low-profile fit that preserves ground clearance. This skid plate suits owners upgrading their Jeep Wrangler JL (including Rubicon 392) or Gladiator JT (including Mojave) for tougher trails, where protecting critical electronics and cleaning up the front end after bumper swaps is a priority. Not compatible with certain aftermarket bumpers (FBJL-02, FBJL-10) or the factory Wrangler steel bumper.
