What Would FredK Do?

[Wschnitz]

Absorbanut at that low no plate will save your oil pan. From the looks of that plate its getting more then scraped on the ground.

I don't even run a plate anymore after bending two of them.

I really don't want to weld an HIK one to my rails, but maybe I will later on when I drive the car more often. :o

[Bggdnssnguy]

I will have to say. My raceskids has saved my ass more times then not.
My drive way is rocky and uneven so it constantly scrapes, hit some bad potholes the other night for the first time, and a huge bud light can and it exploded all over the bottom of the car.
Maybe one day it will catch up with me, but I might weld a piece of metal to the oil pan for extra strength.

I do like the aspect of being able to jack the car up from the skidplate with an HIK one... that would be rad.

I've thought of doing that many times when I had my raceskids pan.
Welding 2 long pieces of metal downwards to add some strength. Broke the plate before ever implementing it

Yes, there's some very bad road work down here....I suppose I was expecting it to protect me from some raised objects or potholes I might miss. Not a big deal, car is nowhere as low curently

If the captain scene points request worked this can too

It really is the handiest thing ever.

It just appeared for me

I think I'm gonna stick with the red46 for now... But when I reinforce the front subframe and do a new rack, that's when I'll upgrade to the hik.

Solid plan- at that point you will already have the welder right there!

I think I got hacked too... They must know how I look because its almost spot on to me

So I was doing some research on oil pan sealants. Saw a lot of talk about Permatex Right Stuff, so I picked up a tube of that. Should I use that or the Goetze gasket I have?

Also... for those wondering about the differences between the Raceskids plate and the Red46 one... Yeah. I think it's obvious which is better. They're the same gauge steel, too.
