ROUGH COUNTRY M186 DIFF SKID | Jeep Wrangler JL | Wrangler Unlimited JL

The Rough Country M186 Diff Skid Plate is designed specifically for the Jeep Wrangler JL and Wrangler Unlimited JL (2018-2023). An essential upgrade for anyone serious about offroad use who wants to protect one of the most vulnerable components of the front axle.

• Heavy-duty steel construction that absorbs impacts from rocks, logs and trail obstacles.
• Black finish resistant to corrosion and wear.
• Bolt-on installation: mounts directly with no welding or modifications required.
• Low-profile design that does not reduce ground clearance.
• Compatible with the factory Dana M186 front differential of the JL.

If you regularly tackle rocky trails or moderate trial sections, this skid plate is one of those upgrades you appreciate from day one. The differential housing is exposed from the factory and a hard hit can cost you a serious repair. With this Rough Country protection you ride knowing there is a steel shield between your diff and the terrain.

Installation is straightforward and can be done in roughly 30 minutes with basic hand tools. A practical, effective and affordable upgrade for your Jeep JL.
