Artec Industries JK2003 Heavy Duty Steel Crossmember for Jeep Wrangler JK

The Artec Industries JK2003 Heavy Duty Crossmember is engineered to replace the factory sheet metal crossmember on 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler JK models with superior protection and durability. Designed using CAD files directly from the manufacturer, this crossmember ensures precise fitment with factory components while delivering significantly enhanced undercarriage protection.

Construction and Design:

• Constructed from 1/4-inch thick steel for maximum strength in high-abuse off-road conditions
• CNC laser cut and CNC formed for precise fitment and consistent quality
• Pre-welded assembly allows for quick and easy bolt-in installation
• All captive nuts are pressed into steel brackets for convenient one-tool removal
• Ships unpainted for easy customization and touch-up after trail damage

Key Features:

• Converts factory M12 captured nuts to 3/8-inch coarse thread for compatibility with Artec JK Under Armor Bellypan Kit
• Available in standard replacement or long arm version with lower link mounts
• Uses 3/8-inch coarse thread captive nuts and bolts for skid plate mounting, allowing use of flat head or button head style bolts
• Designed as the perfect companion to Artec JK Under Armor Bellypans for a completely smooth underside

Installation Notes: Hardware is not included with the crossmember. When using with the Artec bellypan kit, hardware ships with the bellypan. For use with factory skid plates, new 3/8-inch bolts and extra wide washers may be required. Installation requires general mechanical skills and basic hand tools.
