            well i feel like the plate is protecting it from getting blown into a million pieces but the pressure once it gets upwards, cracks. but i really hope this holds, at least for the time being.

                didnt think it would withstand the heat, so i used this industrial steel putty shit to just fill the crack so it wouldnt leak and then jb welded it.

                    good to hear terry. i just need this to last at least a few months. or at least until school ends so i can have more time.

                        After seeing his FIRST cracked pan, I will testify that the skidplate didnt help, it just bent to the shape of the object and punctured the pan.

                          skid plates are best for low speed hit's any high speed or rough "punch" will be disastrous regardless of the plate.

                          How's the car mike? Running or have you figured out what's wrong with it? I think I might want to get a new cluster, some of the gauges jump.

                              This picture isn't right.. You should have a 1.5'' - 2'' gap between the pan and the skid. I've bottomed out on BAD dips slamming the skid to the ground and hit things retarded hard before with no problem.

                              Either your motor mounts have mushed away or the camera's angle is whack?
