Features & Product Details

Built to last, this transmission crossmember is the perfect solution for upgrading your factory aluminum crossmember if and when the factory M12 hardware inserts pop out!

Features:

Made from a combination of 1/4" and 3/16" thick, high-strength HRPO steel

Unique vertical gusset design in the center of the crossmember, for a strong cross section to resist bending when hitting those hard trails!

Laser cut, CNC formed, and hand welded in the USA

Ties into 5 factory frame mounting points

Uses M12 weld nuts that match factory thread sizes in place of inserts

Retains OEM skid mounting holes

Retains OEM transmission mounting locations

Retains OEM exhaust and fuel mounting locations

Install requires no drilling or welding

Re-uses factory hardware

Compatible with JL 2 Door, 4 Door, Diesel, 2.0 Turbo, 3.6 V6, and Factory 392 Hemi'*

It's also designed to take advantage of Next Venture Motorsports' new 7000-Series Belly Skids! The steel brace in the 7000-Series Skid System that connects the front fuel tank skid, transfer case skid, and rear crossmember, also slots into this crossmember to tie everything in together!

Noteworthy: The easiest time to make this repair/replacement or upgrade is when you're installing skids, and have ALL of the skids removed!

Rock Krawler Suspension Specific Option:

Do you want to gain back a 1/4" of clearance under the belly of your Jeep or install the RK front long arms without modifying your skid system? This one is just for you! This ties into your RK Suspension front long arm kit's lower control arm brackets on the frame in place of the brace that RK Suspension includes. This is compatible with their JL front 4 link, 3 link and even Rockzilla kit!

Note: *AMW 4x4 Engine/Transmission swaps may require modifications

Q&A

What is this crossmember made from?

While most of NV's newest skid components are made of aerospace grade 7075-T6 alloy, this crossmember is made ENTIRELY from HRPO steel!

This is constructed from a blend of 1/4" thick and 3/16" thick steel. This crossmember features unique construction that places an additional, but hidden, vertical gusset inside the crossmember to improve cross section and strength in the center where it needs it the most - where the large rectangular openings to access your 3 transmission mounting bolts are.

This says JL - will this work with my JT Gladiator?

No. Transmission Crossmembers from the JL and JT are NOT the same. This is a common misconception.

They are nearly identical on the driver side frame rail mount as well as where they mount to the transmission. The passenger side frame rail has an entirely different mounting method between the JL and JT however.

I'm planning to upgrade to long arms later - can I use this ?

That entirely depends on what you're planning to do.

If you are set on the RK Suspension Long Arm kit, and know that you are eventually going to need this, YES, it can be installed even without the long arm kit.

If you don't intend to install the RK Long Arm Kit however, there is no benefit to ordering the Long Arm Tie In variant of this product.

We offer the "No Long Arm Tie Ins" variant for Jeeps that don't have long arms or intend to run other systems.
