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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTSR-equipped Jeep JL and JT builds heading into rocky, rutted terrain where the ram runs exposed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrivers finishing a Through Shaft Ram install with protection still to sort before the first hard trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrail and competition builds that slide over obstacles rather than always clearing them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners covering a high-value hydraulic steering setup ahead of remote touring or event weekends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Shield The Ram\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer: APEX Design USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type: Steering ram skid plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: X02-10-011\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle Application: Jeep JL and JT (via the APEX TSR system)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariant Fitment: Compatible with TSR kits X02-10-001 and X02-10-003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuyer Checks: Confirm which TSR kit is fitted to your vehicle before ordering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment And Setup Checks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis plate is made for the APEX Through Shaft Ram and fits both current kits.
