The Mountain Off Road skids are on! They are very nice indeed. We'll made, the guys at MORE are great. Here is a video of the install, took me 1.5 hours.

i know dv8 makes one but not sure its for the 2.0 give them a call and find outDoes any domestic mfgr make a skid for the 2.0L 2dr? I see lots for the 4 dr, only ASFIR with aluminum for the 2dr.

MORE makes them, I'd recommend the product for sure. easy install as you can see from my pics and YouTube video
When it comes to weight, the larger factor is how it impacts your left over payload weight capacity. you’ve only got 892lbs to play with. I totally agree with you about fuel economy. Do people that are building true off roading rigs really care?First, to each their own ...
I enjoyed reading this thread. From Rusty's to ASFIR was an interesting transition. Here is what you need to consider. There are advantages to both steel (strength) and aluminium (weight) when choosing.
If you look at @3VOLVE image above, the plate was hit and is bent/wrapped on the cross member of the frame. Look at @ASFIR4X4 and you see how it looks new. Aluminum will bend and literally stretch much more than steel ever will. If you are worried about weight ... you/we are driving a brick wall with wheels lol, the weight in terms of gas milage is negligible at best.
The aluminium looks great, I 100% agree, but you need to consider what you will be doing. Mud, trees, stumps, moderate wheeling the aluminium is just fine I am sure. In AZ where I am (& ASFIR4x4) we wheel on granite and everything else. My profile pic is an example of the rocks we go over and yes, crunch on. I have watched an ASFIR engine plate get slammed right up to the belly pan and the arms bend easily. I have also witnessed MetalCloak, Rusty's and others take massive beatings and no bends. Check out places like Ajax Mine and Highway to Hell trails in AZ. Aluminum, sure but they'll get seriously damaged, protect the undercarriage sure, but then you make the decision to remove and bend back which weakens any metal or replace.
For my use, I am going with full undercarriage Rusty's on my 2020 JLUR 2.0T - Full weight is 182lbs but I'll slide over the boulders with piece of mind every single time!
