    I don't have a pan but I will say that if you are low enough to crack multiple pans you really should invest in a skid plate.

    I learned after just one, but it cracked the upper and lower while I was away from home, not fun or cheap.

      I have one of his skid plates already...hit a huge chunk of something that looked like and was the shape of a starter last time...ripped a bit of the skid plate and shoved the skid plate up into the pan. Banged it out and reinstalled it. This time I hit some sort of man cover right outside the airport. Still broke the pan through the skid plate...

        Get a thicker skid plate. If you're cracking pans through a skid plate, that is saying a lot.
        Either you're driving style is in need of a change or your skid plate needs to be changed.
        It's one or the other.

            Probably just need to raise the car back up. Lol. Who sells a thicker skid plate? Race skids looks to be the 'strongest' one offered.

                Was told recently told that Blunt could get these in a reasonable amount of time for pretty dang cheap. When I've busted mine (all 3 times :() I went through Carquest and they were fast in getting me it but it was like $80-$90 bucks.

                And no, I refuse to raise my car :)
