Artec Industries' NEW JL Bellypan is designed to give your 2018 - 2020 Jeep JLU Wrangler full protection underneath the vehicle. Designed using CAD files directly from the manufacturer, this belly pan skid plate ensures that you have a great fit with factory components. Made from 1/4" thick 6061 Aluminum and 3/16" zinc platedSteel, and CNC cut and formed, the Artec JL Bellypan Kit offers both a strong and lightweight solution for your new Jeep JL.
NOTE: 1.5"+ LIFT REQUIRED FOR USE WITH BELLYPAN
Adds only 10 lbs to net weight of vehicle yet covers far more and is heavier duty than factory skids
86 lbs total weight compared to the Steel version at 153 lbs...
a 44% weight savings
Increases ground clearance of 3/4" from factory skids and even more compared to other aftermarket skid plates
1/4" 6061 Aluminum for skid plates, 3/16"
zinc plated
steel brackets
Designed from factory CAD files for great and ultra precise fit.
CNC laser cut and CNC formed using custom rolled dies for high strength, unique look, and perfect contour fitment to OEM components.
All bolts under skid plate are countersunk for absolutely smooth bottom
All nuts are pressed into steel brackets for easy, one tool removal
Bolts directly to OEM T-case crossmember and frame using heavy duty flat head bolts that match OEM thread
No need for an aftermarket T-case crossmember for completely flat surface
Modular design lets you take off only one section for vehicle servicing
Protects Oil Pan, Transmission Pan, Gas Tank, Front Exhaust and Transfer Case
OEM gas tank skid is replaced for reduced weight and 3/4" higher clearance*
Artec Gas tank skid can be removed without dropping entire tank thanks to new additional cross-member and tank strap.
Clearance near rear drive yoke shaft to prevent rubbing
*OEM gas tank skid removal required. For easiest install, remove skid when tank is near empty. See instructions for simple ideas on removing OEM gas tank skid.
*
From what we have found the crossover pipe may need to be modified slightly by heating the crossover pipe with a small torch (map gas or propane ) and pinch the pipe some with a c clamp to clear the oil pan skid (don't worry it crushes down from the factory next to where you would need to pinch) A majority of JL/JT will not have the contact, but due to factory variance from Jeep's factory, there is a small amount of affected vehicles.
*Due to mid model year changes from Jeep, August 2018 and earlier build date JL's have a different fuel tank then September 2018-current. If you have an early model 2018, please call or email us so we can make sure to get the correct fuel skid for your application on the order before it s
hips.

JL Full Belly Pan review
Have to say this is a really nice and was a pretty easy install. Only one simple hole to drill was a dream and adding the heavy Crossmembers over that factor bar is a blessing. Took 3.5 hours on the install and followed the instruction, the only down side item I had was I could not get a wrachet strap under the skid to help hold up the gas tank and since I followed the directions and the tank was pretty empty we were able to drop the gas skid while holding up,the tank and then adding the strap afterwards. Can’t wait to see how it handles on some tough trail out in Moab and on the Rubicon this fall.

Driver, BosRacing
The Artec Industries Full Bellypan is the only under body armor we trust to run on all of our race cars and trail rigs. They have survived every brutal terrain we have run including the toughest one day race in the world, The King of Hammers, with the narliest rock trails you can find anywhere! The light weight aluminum construction, combined with the perfect amount of gussets engineered in make them the lightest and strongest available for your Jeep or Toyota. It doesn’t matter if you are into hardcore or recreational wheeling, this is the armor for you!

JL Full Bellypan - WOW!
Qucik story first. The team at ARTEC supported a charity for an amazing young lady in our area dealing with Cystic Fibrosis (See "Wheelin' with CF" online!). I was fortunate enough to attend and win an amazing gift certificate the ARTEC crewe provided. I couldn't wait to spend it on the Aluminium Bellypan for my JL. This this is a BEAST, is lightweight and was easy to install. I'm a typical guy, so I didn't read the directions very well. These parts fit together like a well-engineered puzzle. You'll want to listen when the directions instruct you to leave everything very loose before the final step of buttoning everything up. If you do, you'll be amazed at how tight and secure everything will end up when mounted to your JL. I had a minor issue where my exhaust rubbed the passenger side of the belly pan. Added a few heavy duty washers to the passenger side motor mount bolt and we were on our way. Admittedly, I was skeptical as to how aluminum would hold up vs. steel, but once you get your hands on this kit, you'll see that they didn't skimp on the quality and thickness of their metals. This is one of the best add-ons I've purchased, and the support ARTEC provides in our community only futher reinforces how happy I am to do business with them!

So Far So Good
The install is easy and will go as it should IF you watch the video and do as it instructs. Looks great and I am headed to Hidden Falls this Saturday to test it out.

Excellent Skids
Put these on my JLUR just before EJS in Moab, Drove rig up from Las Vegas. As an added benefit I believe these made the jeep quieter at highway speeds. Love the increased gas tank ground clearance. Great not bolting on 200+ Lbs of additional weight you get with steel skids.

Best product out there.
Top notch quality! Very well manufactured and looks amazing. Fits nice and tight up against the frame and does not reduce ground clearance. It has taken quite a few hard hits and scrapes and hasn’t deformed.

Best skid armor on the market
This armor really surprised me when it showed up. There is a ton of thought that goes into this skid system. It's super lightweight but extremely solid. Great tight fit and a smooth belly. Can't wait to get it on some rocks. My only "negative" is for the RockKrawler Long Arm, you will need to modify the skids in order to fit with the RK cross member. Overall, high recommendations if you want to protect the vitals of your JLU.

Artec Skids
These skids fit perfect! We love the lightweight but strong, coverage is great, and everything with the install was awesome. Even switching the tank skid out was easy even with 1/2 tank!! I give Artec and A+ for these skids!

hot and its better than that. Everything fit so well and it was an easy install. Just leave EVERYTHING LOSE!!! Had one issue which was jeeps fault. They sub out there exhaust (plus probably everything else) which meant some JLs will have a slight clearance issue with the down pipe on the passenger side. Called customer service who helped me out. Through some heat at the pipe and used a C clamp to slightly oval the pipe. Clearance issue fixed. Took 10 mins. Took it out over the weekend and came down hard on some rocks. Barely put a scratch in it. Awesome product.

Artec full aluminum belly pan
Great Product, easy to install. DO NOT TIGHTEN ANY BOLTS UNTIL THEY'RE ALL IN! Its a very tight, clean and exact fit. I did the install myself on the ground with a floor jack to help hold the tank plate up as I bolted it in.

Q:
Why do you recommend a 1,5" Lift for the JL Full bellypan (Aluminum)? I have a JL rubicon 4dr. Does it decrease ground clearance? Thanks Greg
Asked by:
Greg
- 5/7/2020
A:
Quite the opposite, the ground clearance is increased.
The reason for the lift requirement is the oilpan skid may come in contact with the front axle components and things are tight up there.

It depends on the Vehicle, You may need to with the 3.6L. From what we have found the crossover pipe may need to be modified slightly by heating the crossover pipe with a small torch (map gas or propane ) and pinch the pipe some with a c clamp to clear the oil pan skid (don't worry it crushes down from the factory next to where you would need to pinch) Not all JL's and JT's with the 3.6L need this but some do.
