ZJ Grand Cherokee Engine/Transmission skidplate.

We have models for the 4.0L engine with automatic or manual tranny. This skid plate fits with the 6cyl or 8cyl.
It's mounting height is also adjustable to accommodate changes in your exhaust system. It protects your oil pan, exhaust, and transmission from damage no matter what the trail throws at you. Not only does it provide protection, but it prevents your Jeep from getting hung up on the transmission cross-member by providing a smooth surface to slide over obstacles with.
Mounted in three locations, it provides you with the best protection you can get for your Grand Cherokee. And you don't have to remove it to change your oil! This engine skid plate mounts to the transmission cross-member at the rear. On the passenger side it mounts using the bolt for the lower control arm. On the driver's side there is a two piece mounting hoop that goes over the driveshaft and attaches to the lower control arm bolt also. All of this makes for a very sturdy skid plate that gives you plenty of clearance for your driveshaft and exhaust.
It requires drilling four holes and clears factory and aftermarket headers. It's mounting height is also adjustable to accommodate changes in your exhaust system. It protects your oil pan, exhaust, and transmission from damage no matter what the trail throws at you.

These engine skid plates are designed to be the toughest, best quality skid plates you can buy.... Period! Our reputation is very important to us and so is your fun. We make sure that our products we carry are everything you want and more to make sure you get farther along the trail!
The pictures above are a strength/deflection comparison between our competitor's undercarriage skid plate on the left and our engine skid plate on the right. As you can see, there is a great difference in strength from one skid plate design to another. The competitive skid plate deflected 2-3 inches, while our skid plate didn't deflect at all. These skid plates are designed to be as strong as possible because a strong skid plate protects better and lasts longer. A properly designed skid plate should be able to support the weight of the vehicle since that is exactly what it will be doing whenever you get hung up on an obstacle.
As obvious as this may seem, a skid plate should be bolted solidly to the vehicle in order for it to take the abuse a really fun trail can dish out. Even the best adhesives won't hold for long with the vibration, temperature extremes, and oil contamination that an engine can create. An oil pan skid plate that falls off after one hit isn't a bargain, even if it's free. Look at the picture below. What's going to protect your engine over the next rock?
