UCF Aluminum Transfer Case Skid for Jeep TJ & LJ ('03-'06) – Ultra High-Clearance

Highest-clearance aluminum transfer case skid for '03–'06 TJ/LJ.

This aluminum skid is our highest-clearance transfer case skid for the '03–'06 TJ or LJ, adding about 3 1/4" of ground clearance over the factory skid. We recommend at least a 2" body lift, or a 1" body lift plus a UCF LOPRO Mount.

Fits manual and automatic transmissions. Mounts for both are built in, so there is no separate version to choose.

Built to take a beating

• Fabricated from 1/4" thick 6061-T6 aluminum plate (or upgrade to 3/8" thick 6061-T6 aluminum plate)
• Designed in 3D CAD software, laser cut and bent on a CNC press brake for a perfect fit every time
• Reinforced in the middle from one side to the other with a stiffening channel/transmission mount
• Front and rear edges are ramped to increase strength and help you slide over obstacles

Body lift: We recommend at least 2" of body lift, or a 1" body lift PLUS a UCF LOPRO Mount, to install this skid plate with no body/transfer case vibration issues. It can also be installed with ONLY a 1" body lift if you clearance the tub in the area where the transfer case would normally touch, but we don't recommend it.

What's included: Skid plate. You will reuse the factory mounting hardware.

Finish: shipped UPS in bare aluminum. Aluminum comes from the mill with printed grade markings. If you plan to run it bare, without paint, clean the markings off with acetone or brake cleaner before you install it.
