Oil pan skid plate

[Jeeps2Little]

You were just bashing your diff in the one video you posted back before Christmas. (I am not dissing your spotterless driving) I would think that qualifies for rock crawling...... Your oil pan wasn't too far off the rocks there either.

I just bought the Artec engine only for the very same reason you are wanting yours. I plan to get the rest of the kit in time.

I don't do rock crawling and hardcore wheeling. I just need something to proect the stupid Fumoto valve, it is super fragile.

You sure about that? https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/rate-my-wheeling-no-spotter.141699/

Note that I don't think I've heard of anyone trashing a Fumoto yet.

Asfir is a nice option as well.

That diff skid plate saved me that day. You think that could happen to the oil pan as well? 🫣

I didn't realize you had a diff skid. It looks like a diff cover in that video.

Here's mine (NVM). Full aluminum skids with UHMW behind it.

I have Metal Cloak ones on both diffs

I agree with @UncleJimmy you may as well protect those transmission lines too. The few options around $400 didn't seem too bad for what they're going to save $ in damages. I think this basically comes down to one simple rule.

You got to pay, to play!

I believe he'll fix you right up but keep in mind, custom fabricating usually isn't cheap.

Best of luck my friend

Westin makes separate plates. Evo has a nice skid that covers oil pan and transmission pan. I have each type (on different Jeeps of course).

He welded my broken license plate holder last time for $40. I told him I want to use my credit card, he said what the hell is that, leave your Jeep keys here go bring cash

He said come tomorrow

I remember reading a story about a guy complaining about his doctor bill. He left his business card (custom fabrication shop) in the fish bowl in his Dr office. It just so happened that doctor brought his truck into his shop. He said wait untill he gets my bill.

If you go down that path, be careful on how much it all weighs...especially with the 3.6L.

These folks in their 70s are my most favorite Americans, they are tough as nails and the coolest. White hair and beard and still going strong, welding for a living

He is a Jeep CJ, and I am a Jeep Renegade in comparison
