Artec Industries Aluminum Skid Plate Update

A few years back I installed the Artec Industries aluminum bellypan skid plate system on my Jeep Gladiator. Unsurprisingly, I bent the aluminum oil pan and transmission skid plate because "go Berserk". I was a little sour about the skid bending, but I decided to give Artec skids another try. Artec updated the skid design which corrected one of my initial problems with it. Because of that, I purchased the new version to complete my skid plate bellypan.
Here is a link to my initial Artec Industries aluminum bellypan video. There's a lot of talking about why I chose aluminum over steel.

Little overkill opening the box, but hey, you got it open and there was no blood. Looking forward to your update on how you like it. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Hahaha my feelings exactly 😂😂

[@Berserkeroffroad]

Thanks, Phil! I plan to preemptively replace my transmission oil pan, just to be sure.

Thanks for some real from the heart reviews. I need a skid plate for my '23 JLURD and I need aluminum as I am getting orders to Hawaii and dont want steel plates that will rust away in a couple years.

[@Berserkeroffroad]

You're welcome. I can't stand reviews where someone recommends a product they just opened and haven’t spent time with. Rust is a factor I hadn't considered before- thanks for the insight there.

[@ArtecIndustries]

We are glad to see we could give you that faith us and our product! Cant wait to see how much you love it!

[@Berserkeroffroad]

Thanks! Besides denting the transmission pan, the skid system has been excellent.

😂😂😂 The chainsaw made my day. Thanks! Glad to see the company is evolving. 👍🏻

[@Berserkeroffroad]

Thanks! It's a mischievous tool that's surprisingly handy.

Hey would you be able to show how the oil pan skid brackets attach? I've got the same kit and im not sure how they mount, not installation guide available so im stuck trying to figure it out. Thanks in advance

Hi, can you send a link for the new version of the Artec skid plate?

[@vincentmamotos9937]

i think steel is still better. thats just me though

[@RogerJG21]

good video, but I would of like to see how it gets mounted

[@garyhoffman7144]

Definitely a 2 man job! Make sure you have all of the hardware (including the rubber isolator strip for the crossmember) before you start dismantling anything. It’s definitely worth the effort though.
