Protecting
Your Jeep's Underside
Most Jeeps come
factory with some protection for the basic parts underneath.
The gas tank, transmission, and transfer case are usually among the
factory protected. Sometimes the factory protection is
insufficient and needs a bit of help and some areas are
forgotten completely until carnage occurs. This
article will attempt to cover (pun) those areas that may be
potential weak spots in your Jeep's bottom.
By use of strong
skid plates, skidders, and armor you can increase the
durability of your Jeep's underside.
The following
sections discuss options and methods of underside
protection.
