However, if you only need gas tank protection and don't want the full Clayton skid system, use the COR-4108200 bracket to connect to the stock crossmember instead. Either path works — the full system path provides interlocked, seamless underbody coverage; the bracket path provides gas tank protection only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr class=\"border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Obsidian Take\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe COR-4108205 is the rearmost component of Clayton's JK three-piece underbody protection system — and the one that most directly determines whether the system looks and functions like an integrated unit or like three separate pieces that happen to be near each other. When the engine skid, transfer case skid, and gas tank skid all interlock correctly, the resulting undercarriage is essentially a single smooth steel surface that slides over obstacles rather than catching on them. The gas tank skid plate is what closes that surface from the transfer case rearward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eAt 3\/16\" versus 1\/4\" on the forward pieces, the material thickness reflects the load environment. The gas tank position is further rearward and lower in the chassis — direct rock strike exposure is lower than at the engine or transfer case locations. The 3\/16\" construction provides appropriate protection at reduced weight for that position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFor 4-door Unlimited owners building a complete protection package: buy all three skid plates together if you can.
