JL/JT Protek Front Axle Disconnect Skid Plate FAD CAD

Fits the following applications:

'18-Current Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU
'20-Current Jeep Gladiator JT

Part #: EVO-3042B

The Jeep Wrangler JL/JLU/JT front axle is manufactured with a CAD Center Axle Disconnect (also called FAD). This feature is designed to improve fuel economy but does add a vulnerable load bearing casting to long side of the JL/JLU/JT front axle tube. Castings are known to be delicate to impact loads and being that impacts of the axle is inevitable off road, protection is a must. The EVO MFG JL/JT CAD adds much needed protection by retaining the partial factory skid plate and adding an additional 3/16” steel full coverage skid plate not only protecting the FAD casting and wiring harness but also extending forward to protect the highly vulnerable front steering stabilizer. The EVO MFG CAD/FAD Skid comes fully welded, powder coated black and ready to install with standard tools in a few simple minutes.
