The Rugged Ridge 18003.53 Exhaust & Gas-Tank Skid Plate is a heavy-duty protection component designed for the 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL. It is part of Rugged Ridge’s Modular Skid Plate System, offering critical underbody coverage for the engine, transmission, gas tank, and exhaust components. Constructed from ¼-inch thick aluminum, each modular section provides exceptional strength while maintaining a lightweight profile. The inclusion of proprietary Trail Armor Technology, a flexible UHMW polyethylene composite overlay, enhances impact resistance and reduces surface resistance when sliding over rocks. Recessed mounting hardware minimizes snagging risks, and the composite exterior panels are easily replaceable to ensure ongoing protection and durability during off-road adventures.
This skid plate system is specifically designed for Jeep Wrangler JL models from 2018 to 2024, requiring the installation of the engine and transmission skid plates (Part No. 18003.52) for full front-to-rear coverage. It is intended for off-road use, providing superior protection against trail obstacles and rough terrain. The installation is bolt-on, offering a straightforward upgrade for off-road enthusiasts seeking enhanced underbody defense. The kit includes the gas tank and exhaust skid plates, which complement the existing engine and transmission protection, making it suitable for rugged off-road excursions and demanding trail conditions.

Overview
Overview
Take to the trail with confidence knowing you've got the unmatched underbody protection of the Modular Skid Plate System from Rugged Ridge. Each modular section of the skid plate is constructed from a ¼-inch thick aluminum plate, providing remarkable strength in a lightweight package. While it has ample trail-proof toughness to overcome any obstacle, we wanted tougher, so we added our proprietary Trail Armor Technology. This flexible UHMW polyethylene composite overlay creates less surface resistance when sliding over rocks and greater impact resistance when you bang into them. And the composite exterior panels are easily replaceable to maintain optimum protection. Each skid plate section features recessed mounting hardware, so you're less likely to get hung up, and when it's time for routine maintenance, drop the plate for easy access to the protected components. The Rugged Ridge Modular Skid Plate System offers critical coverage for the engine and transmission (Part No. 18003.52), or step-up to full front-to-rear coverage by adding gas tank and exhaust skids (Part No. 18003.53 requires installation of 18003.52 Engine/Trans Skid Plates). Bolt a set on your JLU and find out what it's like to have skid plates with superpowers.
