As the first solid axle model vehicle ARB Engineers tackled for skid plates, the Jeep Wrangler JK presented many new issues that needed to be overcome. Among those, the skid plates panel had to mount in such a way that it allowed full movement of the front axle and all of its locating components during suspension cycling. Next it had to allow for the many different suspension systems and aftermarket control arms available on the market for this popular vehicle.
Being the longest skid plate panel manufactured so far, this panel is designed to virtually cradle the entire engine oil pan on all sides, providing the maximum amount of protection while still allowing access to the engine oil drain plug.
Toward the rear of the panel the surface area was kept as narrow as possible so as to allow for the fitment of aftermarket long arm kits.
To support the panel, a new cross-member has been developed that bolts between the two engine mounts. Special attention had to be paid to the design to allow the front suspension control arms to travel up fully (under suspension compression) in an area that was very compact and didn't allow a lot of freedom in design.
In addition to engine oil pan and transmission protection, the Jeep also has a vulnerable charcoal canister (part of the vehicle emissions system) that hangs low towards the rear of the vehicle for which a separate skid plate panel has been developed.
Developted with extensive field testing, ARB skid plate panels give protection to vital underbody components with vehicle specific models protecting steering, engine oil pan, transmission and transfer case. Panels are easily removed for vehilce servicing and where practical, include access to oil pan drain plugs. Each panel has recessed mounting bolts in vulnerable areas to ensure ease of removal evein if the panels become damaged from sever off road use.
Skid plate panels are fully compatible with all ARB products such as Bull Bars, Side Rail & Steps, Air Lockers and Old Man Emu suspension.

ARB was founded by Tony Brown back in 1975. He was inspired by his offroading trip to Australia. And soon afterward, he decided to create a company that would provide quality offroad parts for various 4x4 vehicles. During those times, offroaders resort to homemade do-it-yourself parts that often fail during the trip.
The Australian outback is known for its harsh conditions like bumpy roads, extreme temperatures, which are punishing on the vehicles. Broken parts are a common occurrence and Tony decided he could do something better. Using his experience and know-how, he developed more durable equipment that would be able to handle any harsh condition.
Starting in his small garage, he made his prototype, and from then on the rest is history. Today, ARB has become synonymous with 4x4 and offroading and has been the leading offroading brand in the world. They have become the largest offroad parts manufacturer with a presence in different parts of the globe.
ARB heavily invests its resources in its research and development. The company uses the latest CAD, CAM modeling system that enables them to create and fine-tune its design down to the smallest detail. ARB also partners with some of the top brands in the world like IPF, WARN, and more. This allows them to create products that are unmatched when it comes to performance and quality.
When it comes to 4x4 setups, ARB always comes to mind of every offroader out there. They have given enthusiasts quality and reliable parts that help them become the most trusted brand when it comes to 4x4 accessories.
They offer a complete list of offroading parts such as bumpers, roof racks, under chassis protectors, exo cages, and other accessories needed to turn your vehicle into an offroading machine. Visit Vivid Racing and see the list of their products that would fit your specific vehicle.
