Let us know how it pans outWell I just ordered the Quadratec Aluminum Modular Engine Transmission and Transfer case combo kit. for the reasons you listed. Let me start with the cross members are heavy duty and skids are light but feel really strong (here is comes), but It doesn't fit. Wish I would have gotten some pictures but I was frustrated and not thinking. The front cross member did not have previsions for the fuel tank skid stud but looks like I could have made it work. the Transfer case skid cross member was another story it's not even close the bar is probably an inch to short and the cut out for the gas tank isn't deep enough(if thats even what it was meant to be). IMO it looks like they based it off the 4 door and what they saw with the 2 and 4 door JK's. The gas tank in the 2 door JL is much longer than JK's. Now the instructions did say the engine skid was for 2 and 4 door and the transfer case was just for the 4 door. but Quadratec.com doesn't list any compatibility issues. I do live close to the Quadratec home office, so I am going to drop the skids off and see if they want see the issues for them selves.
I just bought this Evo model from Northridge4x4. Their website said it fits the 2-door. I plan to install it this weekend, so I hope it fits.The leader for me was rockhard4x4, because they have a 2 door version, available in both steel and aluminum. I want aluminum. But, all they have is complete belly pan, and I only want the engine\oil pan protection, not the whole thing. I thought Evo had one, but it’s just for JLU. I see that Quadratec’s says 4 door now on their web site. My search continues.
Can you elaborate on what modification was necessary? Looks like I'll be doing the same this weekend.I used EVO Manufacturing JL ProTek Exhaust Loop & Engine Trans Skid, with some modification.
How did your install go @UKCATS ?
Clicky clicky....Can you elaborate on what modification was necessary? Looks like I'll be doing the same this weekend.
Click the “some modification” text in his reply, it is a hyperlink to the site where he shows this.Can you elaborate on what modification was necessary? Looks like I'll be doing the same this weekend.

No, it does not. It includes protection for the transfer case and gas tank however the entire engine (oil pan) and most of the transmission has been exposed on all models and trims in stock form.Hey guys I’m brand new to the Jeep world so forgive me if I’m asking a dumb question here, but does the Rubicon not come with a skid plate that protects the engine? I see what looks like the gas tank, a cross member by the transmission and transfer case I’m assuming, and oil pan? Am I seeing this right? Any help is appreciated.
