I have a 2013 Rubicon JKU with a first generation DV8 FS-15 stubby bumper. I checked with DV8 and they don’t make a front skid plate that will work with their first gen FS-15. Does anyone have or know of a front skid plate that will work with the DV8 FS-15 bumper?

Sometimes it just easier (and the same money) to get what you want fabbed up.

This is the complete skid plate system I had made up for my 2016 JK …

Is there a reason you feel like you need a lower skid under that bumper? is it simply to cover up that dumb "crash bar"?

Heya Resharp -

You are asking about the rear skid over the muffler ?

The idea of that was to avoid damage / help the truck slide over ground that I didn’t have a high enough departure angle to handle.

That being said, coincidentally, I am removing that piece shortly due to the fact I am installing the Evo / King Coilover kit and will be replacing & relocating the muffler to in front of the driver’s side rear tire .

I am also changing out my tires from the present 40” Maxxis Trepadors to 37” Cooper STT’s to allow for more wheel travel.

sorry, no, I was referring to the OP looking for the lower skid for under the front bumper.....something that is more a cosmetic issue than a real functional piece IMO.
