Are Fly Offroad JL and JT Front Skid Plates the same size?
One of the frequent questions among Jeep Wrangler owners is whether the JL and JT front skid plates are the same. The JL and JT are two different models of the Wrangler, with the JL being the latest generation of the classic two-door and four-door SUV, and the JT being the new pickup truck version.
The answer to this question is not straightforward, as there are several types of skid plates available for both models, depending on the trim level and options. However, in general, the Fly Offroad JL and JT Front Skid Plates are not the same and are not interchangeable.
The main difference between the JL and JT front skid plates is the width. The JT bumper is wider than the JL bumper, as it matches the width of the truck's grille and fenders. The JL bumper is narrower, as it follows the contours of the SUV's body.
This means that if you try to install a JT bumper on a JL, or vice versa, it will not fit properly and may cause gaps or overlaps. Additionally, the mounting points and brackets for the bumpers may differ between the models, as they are designed to accommodate different frame structures and accessories.
Another difference between the JL and JT front bumpers is the style and features. The JL bumper has more options and variations than the JT bumper, as it caters to different preferences and needs of SUV owners. For example, some JL bumpers have fog lights, two hooks, winch plates, skid plates, or steel bars. Some JL bumpers are also modular, meaning that they can be customized by adding or removing sections.
The JT bumper, on the other hand, has fewer options and variations, as it is designed to provide protection and functionality for the truck. Most JT bumpers have two hooks and steel bars, but they do not have fog lights or winch plates. The JT bumper is also not modular, meaning that it cannot be altered or adjusted.
If you are wondering whether the Fly Offroad JL and JT Front Skid Plates are the same, the answer is no. They have different widths, mounting points, styles, and features that make them incompatible with each other.

Do aluminum skid plates work?
Do aluminum skid plates work? Aluminum VS. Steel Skid Plates - Which Material Is Best for ... If you simply look up aluminum vs. steel durability, aluminum is a softer and less dense metal.
