Gold Zinc plated for additional anti-rust prevention.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONS
I have a 2023 Wrangler Sahara with a M220 axle with LDS. Will this M220 Rear Differential Skid Plate fit my differential?
Yes, this will fit your Jeep equipped with the M220 axle.
2024 Wrangler Sport JL with M220 rear axle w/o limited slip.....will this Rear Differential Skid Plate fit my ride?
If your build sheet shows the M220 it will fit. This is normally in Sports with limited slip option or manual transmission.
Does the M220 Rear Differential Skid Plate fit a 2024 Rubicon X with a locking rear differential?
Yes, it will fit.
Will this M220 Rear Differential Skid Plate fit on a 2019 JLUR with an aftermarket differential cover (e.g. ARB; Yukon)?
Yes, we have found that most aftermarket covers do clear. If it has heavy fins it may make contact however.
Will this fit a 2022 Wrangler JLU Willys?
It will if the jeep is equipped with the limited slip option. The M220 is standard with the locker and limited slip package for JL’s and all JT’s.
will this fit a 2026 Wrangler Rubicon X with a Dana® M220 Wide Full–Floating Rear Axle
Yes, the JL M220 Rear Differential Skid Plate will work with the newer M220 full float housing.
2024 rubicon x. With ARB differential covers will this work with other aftermarket diff covers?
We have had customers run the ARB rear diff cover with our M220 Rear Diff Skid Plate. It is a tight fit but will work.
Will this fit on a 2022 Wrangler Sahara 4XE stock?
You should have no issue installing it on a stock 4xe.
I have a Currie diff cover on my JLUR M220. It is at least 5/8” thick at the bottom lip. Will this fit OK?
We have seen the skid used with these covers without an issue.
2024 Jeep Jl 392....I have AEV front and rear diff covers...will the front and rear diff skid plates fit ok?
Our Rear Diff Skid should clear the AEV (and other aftermarket) Rear Diff Cover. The Front Diff Skids work with our M Diff Cover or the factory cover... Other aftermarket Diff Covers will not work with the skid plate
