- JL/JT APEX Front Axle Truss - A NEW ERA HAS BEGUN WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE APEX TRUSS! Artec Industries is proud to announce the next generation of PATENT PENDING axle trusses. This series of trusses not only builds on our experience as the world leader in axle truss design, it brings it to a whole new level of cost savings, strength, weight savings, simplicity of installation, precision fitment, and complete axle protection never before seen in the industry. The key feature that sets the APEX truss apart is its unique peaked shape top which provides extra rigidity to the whole truss while allowing both a reduction in weight (vs using a thicker material top) and eliminating long weld seams. Previous version with long weld seams which can be lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. This peaked structure not only applies to the axle tube between the coil perches but extends underneath the coil perches as well, forming a complete truss from end to end of axle, an industry first in an OEM axle application. The JL APEX Front Axle Truss is based off of a JK APEX Truss that was secretly tested for over a year proving that even though the truss is lighter weight, the peaked structure of the truss holds up to both extreme applications and daily driving. The new JL APEX Front Axle Truss is the epitome of low cost, easy and quick to weld, simple, strong, and complete solutions for making your factory Jeep axle take more abuse than originally intended. You want easy insurance for your axle? The JL APEX Truss provides it.
- JL/JT Front LCA Skids - These heavy duty skids are designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your JL front axle lower control arm brackets. The 1/4" thick precision cut and formed components of this setup mean they'll install easily and protect your brackets and lower control arms.
- JL/JT Inner C Gussets - These heavy duty inner C gussets are designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your front Dana 30 or 44 JL or JT Inner C's. The 3/16" thick precision cut and formed components precisely contour and wrap around your inner c and add rigidity.
- (Optional) JL Shield - The NEW JEEP JL front axle now includes a new Center Axle Disconnect (CAD or Front Axle Disconnect FAD) system for improved fuel efficiency. This new inclusion on the axle features a very thin sheetmetal skid plate from the factory which is prone to bending and denting, not to mention being a rock magnet itself. Artec Industries is the FIRST COMPANY TO ADDRESS THIS VULNERABLE PART. Our new JL SHIELD is constructed from HEAVY DUTY 1/4" thick steel...twice the thickness of the OEM skid plate. The new design also uses countersunk flat head bolts for improved smoothness on the bottom...meaning you'll have less edges to catch on rocks. To improve the smoothness, we've eliminated unnecessary edges and extended the leading edge to the front of the axle and included an angled flange to protect the axle and allow rocks to glide under. The JL SHIELD is fully welded and hard powdercoated for direct bolt-on installation and a long life.
Features include:
- PATENT PENDING APEX truss peaked top design provides more rigidity than a flat top truss design
- Truss is CNC Precision Laser cut in-house from 1/8" mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution...only 6 lbs
- Truss is CNC Precision Bent in-house for a great fitment. Literally drop the truss in place on the axle and it's ready to weld. No puzzle piece assembling*
- Designed used 3D models directly from Dana Corp and Jeep for not only an amazing fit but clearances with surrounding components
- 70% less welding needed than previous truss designs means less warping, faster turnaround, and lower costs
- All long seams are bent so you don't need to spend time welding them together
- APEX design continues under the OEM coil buckets for complete end-to-end axle reinforcement...an industry first
- Dimpled holes provide not only weight reduction but rigidity and strength
- Contours both the cast steel differential and FAD (front axle disconnect) and can be welded with normal MIG welder and moderate pre-heating and post-heating
- Provides worry-free wheeling of up to 40 inch tires on stock JL axles**
- Bridges the Front Axle Disconnect (FAD/CAD) which has shown to be one of the weakest sections of the front axle
- Low Profile Design doesn't go over differential and allows usage in vehicles with only slight lift***
- Front LCA Skids and Optional JL Shield made from 1/4" steel
- Inner C Gussets made from 3/16" steel
NOTE: Jeep offers many different variations on which axle housings and inner c's are offered on their vehicles. Please refer to the following diagram for details on which version to choose. If you have one model of a vehicle but have swapped in axles from another model, choose the model that the axles were originally in.
- JL3110 - Use on JL Sport/Sahara
- JL4510 - Use on JL Rubicon (US/Canada), JT Rubicon (All countries), Sport MaxTow
- JL4511 - Use on JT Sport/Overland (US/Canada), JL Rubicon (Non-US/Canada)
NOTE: DOES NOT FIT EXTREME RECON OR MOJAVE GLADIATOR WITHOUT MODIFICATION. RECENTLY JEEP HAS ALSO SWITCHED TO A "COMMON" DIFFERENTIAL WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN THE ORIGINALS. THIS TRUSS CAN BE MODIFIED TO FIT THIS NEWER DIFFERENTIAL.
*Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this kit. Every axle varies slightly and some fabrication may be required.
**Stock axles have other components that may not hold up to the abuse of larger tires. Artec implies no guarantees that you will not break some component on your stock axles using larger tires. Use at you own risk.
***THIS KIT IS INTENDED FOR VEHICLES WITH AT LEAST MINOR LIFTS (1.5"+ RECOMMENDED) AND AT LEAST 1/2" BUMP STOP EXTENSIONS. CHECK CLEARANCES BEFORE INSTALLING. NOT TESTED IN NON-US JLs or RIGHT HAND DRIVE AXLES.**

Sturdy disposable plates that handle real meals without getting soggy
Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count, Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count
These 9-inch compostable plates are a great option when you want the convenience of disposable plates without the flimsy feel of standard paper ones. The bagasse material gives them a much sturdier structure, so they hold up well even with heavier foods.
What I noticed right away is that they do not bend or soak through easily. Foods with sauces, oils, or moisture sit on the plate without making it soft or soggy. Plates made from sugarcane fiber are designed to resist grease and liquids better than typical paper plates while still being biodegradable. 
The 9-inch size works well for full meals, not just snacks. I have used them for things like pasta, barbecue, and salads, and they held up without needing to double stack plates. They also have a nice natural brown look that works well for casual gatherings, cookouts, or parties.
Another plus is the eco-friendly aspect. Bagasse plates are made from leftover sugarcane fibers, which makes them a renewable alternative to plastic or foam disposable plates.  It is nice to have something convenient that is also a little better for the environment.
Overall these are sturdy, practical disposable plates that actually feel durable enough for real meals. Great for parties, family gatherings, picnics, or anytime you want easy cleanup without using flimsy plates.

ACTUALLY heavy duty
Color: Brown, Size: 9 in - 75 count
These plates are actually better than I expected. I’ve used a lot of disposable plates that claim to be “heavy duty” and then immediately start bending the second you put real food on them, but these feel sturdier than the average cheap paper plate. The 9-inch size is a good everyday size too, big enough for a normal meal without feeling tiny, and I like the natural brown color because it looks a little nicer and less flimsy than plain white party plates. For cookouts, birthdays, quick dinners, or anything where I just do not want extra dishes, these have been really convenient.
What I like most is that they feel substantial without being overly thick or bulky. They hold up better than the thin paper plates that get soggy fast, and that matters a lot when there’s anything heavier or messier on them. I also like having a bigger pack on hand because disposable plates are one of those things that disappear faster than you think, especially with kids, parties, or just busy weeks. The compostable part is a nice bonus, but honestly what matters most to me is that they actually do the job and don’t feel like they’re going to fold in half in my hand.
