Verified Fitment
| Year Range | Make | Model | Configuration | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2007–2018 | Jeep | Wrangler JK | 2-Door — All Trims | Complete kit — plate + hardware |
Does NOT fit:
- Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JK (4-Door) — different wheelbase and gas tank skid dimensions; order COR-4108202 for the 4-door — correction: order COR-4108204 for the 4-door
- Jeep Wrangler JL (2018–2026) — different underbody architecture
- Jeep Gladiator JT — different platform
- Early-version Clayton transfer case skid plates — verify your transfer case skid version before ordering
2-door only — confirm before ordering. The JK (2-door) and JK Unlimited (4-door) have different wheelbases and different gas tank positions. The 2-door gas tank skid plate is shorter than the 4-door version. Ordering the 2-door plate for a 4-door JK Unlimited will produce a skid plate that does not fit.

2-door vs. 4-door physical difference: The 2-door JK Wrangler has a shorter wheelbase and a different gas tank position than the 4-door Unlimited. The COR-4108202 plate is shorter than the COR-4108204. This is not a trim preference — it is a physical fitment dimension. Using the wrong version results in a plate that cannot seat correctly in the skid system.
Plate-only option: If you already have hardware or are replacing a plate only, order COR-4108201 ($529.00 — plate only, no hardware).
What Is and Is NOT Included
| Included | NOT Included |
|---|---|
| Gas tank skid plate — 3/16" bare metal steel (2-door configuration) | Clayton transfer case skid plate (required for full system integration — sold separately) |
| Hardware kit — necessary mounting fasteners | Engine / oil pan skid plate (COR-4108912 — sold separately) |
| COR-4108200 OEM bracket (required for stock crossmember use — sold separately, $29.00) | |
| Clayton 3-piece long arm crossmember (COR-2108112 — sold separately) | |
| Clayton HD crossmember (COR-2108212 — sold separately) | |
| Primer, paint, or coating for bare metal surface treatment |
Two installation paths:
Path 1 — Full Clayton skid system: Install with the Clayton transfer case skid plate and engine skid plate using the Clayton long arm or HD crossmember. Long arm installation requires cutting one mount per Clayton's instructions.
Path 2 — OEM replacement (stock crossmember): Order COR-4108200 ($29.00) to connect the gas tank skid plate to the stock JK crossmember without the transfer case skid or Clayton crossmember. Gas tank protection only, without full integrated system coverage.
Critical Compatibility
2-door vs. 4-door is the primary ordering error on this SKU. The 2-door and 4-door JK gas tank skid plates are different parts with different dimensions — they are not interchangeable. Confirm your cab configuration before placing the order.
Cutting is mandatory for long arm system installations. One mount must be removed from the skid plate before it will fit with the Clayton long arm geometry. This is a confirmed step in Clayton's installation instructions — not a modification you can skip.
Early model transfer case skid incompatibility. Clayton explicitly documents this limitation — if you have an older Clayton transfer case skid, verify your version is compatible before ordering the COR-4108202.
Production lead time applies. This is a made-to-order component. Allow 3–4 weeks from order placement depending on current demand.
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| 2007–2018 JK Wrangler 2-Door — with Clayton long arm or HD crossmember | Confirmed fit — cutting required |
| 2007–2018 JK Wrangler 2-Door — OEM replacement with COR-4108200 bracket | Confirmed fit — bracket required; sold separately |
| 2007–2018 JK Wrangler Unlimited 4-Door | Does NOT fit — order COR-4108204 |
| Early-version Clayton transfer case skid | Not compatible — verify version first |
| JL Wrangler, JT Gladiator | Does NOT fit |
| Bare metal arrives with surface rust | Normal — not a defect; prime and paint before installation |
| Near-term build deadline | Confirm current lead time before ordering |
Installation Notes
Skill level: Intermediate. Cutting of the plate is required for long arm installations.
Tools required: Socket set, torque wrench. For long arm installation: angle grinder or cutting tool for mount removal. Primer and paint for bare metal surface treatment.
Production lead time: Allow 3–4 weeks from order placement. Confirm current lead time before ordering if working toward a build deadline.
Bare metal surface prep — required:
Wire brush any surface rust from shipping. Apply primer and preferred paint, powder coat, or undercoating to all bare metal surfaces before installation.
Long arm system installation:
- Follow Clayton's installation instructions to identify the mount to be removed.
- Use an angle grinder to remove the mount cleanly.
- With the engine skid and transfer case skid installed and torqued, fit the gas tank skid last — confirm the interlocking seam with the transfer case skid is flush before final torque.
- Torque all hardware to specification.
OEM replacement installation (stock crossmember):
- Order and install COR-4108200 per its installation instructions before fitting the gas tank skid.
- Connect the gas tank skid plate to the bracket and stock crossmember per Clayton's instructions.
- Torque all hardware to specification.
Common Questions
I have a 4-Door JK Unlimited — does this fit?
No. COR-4108202 is the 2-door JK configuration only. Order COR-4108204 (complete kit) or COR-4108205 (plate only) for the 4-door JK Unlimited.
What's the difference between COR-4108202 and COR-4108201?
COR-4108202 is the complete kit — gas tank skid plate plus hardware. COR-4108201 is the plate only, without hardware. For a new installation, order COR-4108202. If you already have hardware or are replacing a plate only, order COR-4108201.
Does this require cutting?
Only when installing with the Clayton long arm system. If using the COR-4108200 bracket path (OEM replacement on stock crossmember), cutting is not required.
Can I use this without the transfer case skid plate?
Yes — via the COR-4108200 bracket path. The bracket connects the gas tank skid plate directly to the stock JK crossmember for gas tank protection only. When ready to upgrade to the full system, add the transfer case skid and engine skid.
How long will it take?
Allow 3–4 weeks from order placement depending on current production demand.
The Obsidian Take
The COR-4108202 is the 2-door JK version of the same interlocking gas tank protection system detailed on the COR-4108204 (4-door) page. The application logic is identical — it's the rearmost component of Clayton's three-piece JK underbody protection system, designed to lock with the transfer case skid and engine skid into a continuous, smooth undercarriage surface.
The practical difference between the 2-door and 4-door versions is dimensional — the shorter wheelbase of the 2-door JK means a shorter gas tank position and a shorter skid plate. This is not a minor difference; the plates are not interchangeable. The most common error on this SKU is 4-door owners ordering the 2-door plate based on price or availability. Verify your cab configuration before placing the order.
For 2-door JK builders doing a complete protection package: order this alongside the transfer case skid and engine skid simultaneously. The interlocking installation is more efficient when all three pieces are on hand, and the cutting for the long arm system is easier to plan with all components in front of you.
This SKU is for: 2007–2018 JK Wrangler (2-door) owners running the Clayton long arm or HD crossmember system, and 2-door owners using this as an OEM gas tank skid replacement via the COR-4108200 bracket.
This SKU is NOT for: JK Unlimited (4-door) owners (order COR-4108204), JL Wrangler or JT Gladiator owners, owners with early-model Clayton transfer case skids (verify compatibility first), anyone needing plate only without hardware (order COR-4108201), or anyone with a near-term deadline who hasn't confirmed current lead times.
