Features & Product Details

The JL Front Diff Skid (FDS) for the JL/JT M210 Axle is designed to provide protection for the bottom of the JL Front Diff and provides the differential and pinion a smooth surface to slide over obstacles. This Front Diff Skid will fit JLs and JTs - including 392s, Diesels and Mojave/Xtreme Recon Trims. It will not fit the M186 Front Axle found in most Sport/Sport S/Sahara JL Wranglers, however.

The JL Front Diff Skid (FDS) is a heavy-duty skid designed to protect the JL front differential's drain plug (found in most JL/JT M210 front axles to date) and provides a smooth surface for you to slide over obstacles. All components are CNC laser cut and formed by a CNC press brake for a precise fit. Proudly fabricated and hand-weld in the USA.

The new JL Wrangler axles are a fantastic upgrade over the previous models. However, their shape, and bottom mounted drain plug is not ideal for rock crawling.

As any rock crawling enthusiast will tell you, every inch of ground clearance matters. Anything on your Jeep's underside that can be smooth should be, or it's likely to catch on an obstacle. The JL Front Diff Skid (FDS) is CAD designed with 3D modeling to retain every bit of possible ground clearance for critical protection you need on the trail.

Next Venture Motorsports build the JL Front Diff Skid (FDS) from a combination of 1/4" and 3/8" thick steel. This diff skid ties into multiple locations on the differential flange, as well as clamping tight to the snout of the differential. As a result, you will distribute any force -- such as the weight of the vehicle on a rock -- over a much larger area. This skid also extends your coverage to the pinion and yoke/flange where the front driveshaft attaches.

Note: *This skid is designed and recommended for use with Next Venture's HD JL/ JT Front Diff Cover * It also seems to fit many other fabricated M210 covers that have been released since; including TMR, Ballistic, and Motobilt Diff Covers. It will *not* work with the Spicer aftermarket covers due to the shape/fin features or ARB differential covers.

Installation with a factory cover is possible but requires a shim/spacer to account for the factory cover's thinner material. For ultimate strength and protection, we recommend using this product in conjunction with Next Venture's HD JL/ JT Front Diff Cover. *Front Diff Cover Not Included*

Included with purchase:

(1) Front Differential Skid Plate with Top Clamp

(2) Hardware Sticks with hardware/bolts

(6) Class 8.8 Allen Head Cap Screws

Additional Details

Products are designed and fabricated to fit vehicles that have varying tolerances from the factory, minor hand fitting may be required.

Products are shipped bare metal unless otherwise specified by the customer. Bare metal products may have scratches or surface imperfections as a result of raw material handling, manufacturing, and fabrication. However, these imperfections are easily covered up with a textured powder coat finish. Additional finishing, sanding, and prep work may be required if you wish to also have them finished with a smooth powder coat or paint.

Projected lead times are estimates only, and are subject to changes due to production realities, including material and labor availability and sudden variability in order volume. Lead times are not guaranteed, but we do guarantee that we are hard at work trying to get the best product we can produce and into the customers’ hands as quickly as possible.

All Next Venture Motorsports products are laser cut, CNC formed, and hand-weld with pride in the USA. We are a Colorado-based business, and welcome visitors by appointment at the Grand Junction, CO headquarters. We hope to see you out there on the trail soon!
