Jeep Transfer Case Skids & Tummy Tucks | UCF

Transfer Case Skid Plates

A UCF transfer case skid plate, often called a tummy tuck, protects the transfer case and transmission and raises the lowest point of your belly. Each one is laser cut and bent on a CNC press brake, stiffened across the middle with a channel that doubles as the transmission mount, and ramped front and rear to slide over rocks. Choose 3/16" carbon steel (1/4" upgrade available) or 1/4" 6061-T6 aluminum (3/8" upgrade available).

Which transfer case skid fits your setup?

Clearance gained over the factory skid, and the body lift each skid needs:

Jeep No Body-Lift Extra-Clearance Ultra High-Clearance
Wrangler YJ ('87–'95) +1/2"No lift needed +1 1/2"1" body lift +2 1/2"2" body lift
Wrangler TJ ('97–'02) +1 1/2"No lift needed Not offered +2 1/2"1" body lift or LOPRO mount
Wrangler TJ & LJ ('03–'06) +1 1/4"No lift needed +2 1/4"1" body lift or LOPRO mount +3 1/4"2" body lift, or 1" body lift plus LOPRO mount

LOPRO mount fit: '97–'02 TJ with the 4.0L, and '03–'06 TJ & LJ. We don't recommend the LOPRO mount on '03–'06 automatics. Please call us if you're considering it.

Recommended setups. Some builders trim (clearance) the body tub instead of adding the full body lift. It can work, but we don't recommend it: the trimming is permanent, and if the tub and transfer case touch you'll feel vibration. Give us a call at (334) 797-7113 before going that route.

Building a TJ or LJ? Our Tummy Tuck Guide walks you through which skid you need.

Available in steel and aluminum for the Jeep Wrangler YJ ('87–'95), TJ ('97–'02) and TJ & LJ ('03–'06), plus a steel skid for the JK ('07–'18) that needs no body lift. Not sure which fits your setup? Call us at (334) 797-7113 and we'll help you choose.
