About this part

High Clearance Skid Plate, fitment-checked

Rough Country 1126 is a high clearance skid plate for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler 4WD, cut from 0.25in steel and good for as much as 2in of extra belly clearance. It does not fit Rubicon models or 4.0L 6-cylinder trucks with an automatic transmission, and it depends on several companion parts — read the requirements below before ordering.

This high clearance skid plate for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler 4WD covers SE, Sport, Sahara, X, Unlimited, and 65th Anniversary Edition trims. The 0.25in steel plate bolts into place and recovers up to 2in of clearance under the transfer case. Plan the supporting parts first: non-Rubicon Jeeps need a slip-yoke eliminator and a lengthened rear CV driveshaft, plus the 1.25in body lift (#1157) and the 1in motor mount kit (#1156). Rubicon models and 4.0L 6-cylinder automatics are excluded. Rough Country lists 3-4 hours for the job, and a downloadable installation guide is available.
