JL Full Bellypan - 4 door 2.0L ALUMINUM

I ordered this belly pan during the Artec end of the year sale. Due to the large number of sales, it took a couple weeks to arrive. The skid plates are high quality with professional welds. The only issues I had was with the instructions and hardware pack. The instructions and video on the site was for the V6. I have the 2.0 turned 4. While most of the instructions were the same, there were a few key differences. An addendum was available on the site for the 2.0 version. Unfortunately it was a little incomplete. The hardware pack appeared to contain all the nuts and bolts for both the V6 and 2.0 versions. I have a 2020 JLU Rubicon. This model does not have the 48 volt battery under the chassis like earlier JLs. After spending some time figuring out which hardware I actually needed, I was left with a large number on nuts, bolts, a few brackets and a battery skid that I would not be using. Installing the various skid plates was not difficult, was pretty intuitive and could almost be done without instructions. The oil pan skid mounting brackets were also different from the instructions, but were not difficult to sort out. The only part I had difficulty with was the gas tank skid. Using ratchet straps as instructed was a challenge, but did the job. The fitment of a couple bolts was slightly off. I had to loosen, push, pull and eventually undo some to get it lined up. Once that was done it was just a matter of snugging you all the bolts. The skid pans all line up well and the bottom is very smooth with the flat head bolts. I have driven on the streets and also a couple hour off road trip. Everything stayed snug and nothing interfered with any other undercarriage parts. The light weight of the aluminum panels vs the heavier steel version made thus a simple one man job. All done in my garage with basic tools and not even a need to jack up the Jeep. Overall this is a high quality kit that fits well, looks great and appears that it will work as expected. Updated instructions and video for the 2.0 would make installation much easier. If you can perform an oil change, you can install this kit. I am very happy with the product and it’s fitment. I have no doubt that it will take a pounding and last for a very long time. I did my research before buying this kit and it is the best looking, best designed and offers the most coverage kit I have seen. I would definitely recommended this to anyone looking for quality undercarriage protection.

I would recommend this to anyone that is in the market for a high quality undercarriage protection. I installed it in one afternoon.
