This video covers the installation of our Diesel JT Gladiator specific skid system with UHMW. Building off of our existing belly skid video, this will show you exactly what you will need to do to get a set of our aluminum and UHMW skids installed.
Factory skids on your Jeep JL/ JT/ JK leave your oil pan and transmission skid exposed and are not ideal long term for repeated rock crawling and heavy trail use. A full steel system is heavy, and aluminum doesn't have the best wear/ abrasion resistance on it's own. We combine 1/4" steel cross members and brackets, 1/4" aluminum skids, and a bottom wear surface layer of 3/8" UHMW for a great combination of high strength and durability.

Awesome to see the install , sorry about the half tank of fuel...

@NextVentureMotorsports Год назад

Thanks for lending us your jeep for the day. No worries on the fuel level, just made things more exciting for Dan and Wes!

What is the weight of the skid system?

@NextVentureMotorsports Год назад

Depends on JL or JT, gas or diesel... Usually nets 30-50 lbs of weight gain since you're also removing a lot of the factory steel components like the factory stamped steel fuel tank skid etc. On the diesels this is typically about 86 lbs of factory steel removed before the install begins!

@brookdavis8425 Год назад

I'd be interested knowing what the solution is if the engine mount nut-cert does spin. I'm just a simple home mechanic and in my experience what can go wrong will go wrong and that "what if" is holding me back.

@NextVentureMotorsports Год назад

It's a good question and we'll have to add that to the FAQs for all the JL/JT skid systems! You can use a conventional M10 hex nut and washer in place of the nut-cert in that location if it spins and is removed. It's not ideal, but luckily it's not a blind hole. The hardest part is getting the old nut-cert removed entirely if it does spin; heat and some vice grips may do the trick if you land in that situation however.

What long arm kits has this diesel kit been tested with?

@NextVentureMotorsports 8 месяцев назад

The Rock Krawler suspension long arm kits are going to require minimal modification. The spacer between the transmission crossmember and the fuel tank/transfer case skids is removed and replaced with the RK front long arm brace. Depending on which rear suspension setup you go with, some modification with a cutoff wheel may be required on part of the fuel tank skid flange -- but it's fairly simple to mark, cutoff and clean up. We have seen a few Teraflex and EVO kits out our way and on our lift; the Teraflex kits can sometimes run into an issue of the front brace underneath the transmission interfering with the engine/trans skid however and even the TF shop rigs will just exclude that component to run skids.

You guys don't happen to have a 4xe skid in the works do you?

@NextVentureMotorsports Год назад

Thanks for asking Steven! We collected 4xe 3D scan data back in December, and are anticipating a release on 4xe Aluminum skids with UHMW in May.

@81selfmade1 Год назад

@@NextVentureMotorsports nice! I'll be looking for it to be released. Been looking for a good light weight skid option.

I have this kit with the UHMW sitting in my garage for my Jeep JL. I order it in 2021 and haven’t got around to installing it yet…. lol I noticed my doesn’t have the plastic buttons where the hardware comes through on the gas tank skid like the video? Is something I need to be concerned about?

@NextVentureMotorsports 10 месяцев назад

Sounds like we missed shipping some hardware on yours. Give us a call and we can get you taken care of! -Dan
