Summary
The APEX Design USA TSR Skid Plate protects the Through Shaft Ram steering ram when the terrain starts hitting back. The TSR is APEX's hydraulic assist steering system for the Jeep JL and JT, and its ram sits low in the steering path - exactly where rocks, ruts and trail debris find low-hanging hardware first. This plate shields the ram so scrapes and strikes land on the plate first, not on the component your steering depends on. It is compatible with both current Through Shaft Ram kits and is the natural way to finish a TSR install before hard off-road use.
Best For
- TSR-equipped Jeep JL and JT builds heading into rocky, rutted terrain where the ram runs exposed
- Drivers finishing a Through Shaft Ram install with protection still to sort before the first hard trip
- Trail and competition builds that slide over obstacles rather than always clearing them
- Owners covering a high-value hydraulic steering setup ahead of remote touring or event weekends
Why Shield The Ram
A hydraulic assist ram is one of the most consequential parts on the front of the vehicle: if it takes a hard hit mid-trail, steering control is what suffers, and the trip usually ends early. Compared with running the ram unguarded, a dedicated plate means ground contact costs you plate scars rather than damaged steering hardware. It is the same logic as any underbody protection - let the plate take the abuse before the expensive part does - applied to the exact component the TSR system adds.

Fitment And Setup Checks
This plate is made for the APEX Through Shaft Ram and fits both current kits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which TSR kits does this plate fit?
It is compatible with both Through Shaft Ram kits. Check the kit part number from your original order if you are not sure which version your Jeep runs.
Do I need it for occasional off-road use?
The plate earns its keep wherever the ram can contact rock, ruts or debris. If your driving includes green lanes, trails or sites with real ground-contact risk, fitting protection before the first strike is far cheaper than repairing steering hardware after it.
Confirm which TSR kit your Jeep runs, then add the plate - and browse the rest of the APEX steering range to finish the setup in one order.
