If you'd like a great looking metal skid plate, the Jeep Gladiator JT steel skid plate is a great option. For around $200 you can install the silver Mojave or black Rubicon skid plate on your JL. It provides about one inch of additional clearance to the ground compared to the plastic ones. It also works with a lot of aftermarket bumpers. Parts list, instructions and pictures below.
You'll need one of these JT steel skids. Same thing, different colors.
1. - Remove your factory plastic air dam
2. - Remove the metal skid plate behind it
3. - Install the 8 nutserts into the holes on each frame horn. That's 4 nutserts for each of the 2 frame horns.
4. - Install the 4 brackets with the 8 hex head bolts (2 bolts per bracket)
5. - Secure the new skid plate to the brackets using the 4 screws
For more pictures, see this thread on the Gladiator forum.
