More info on my website! offroadforestermods.com This is my second SK Forester build. I have the Primitive Racing CVT Skid Plate on my 2019, but I picked the Crawford Performance CVT Skid Plate for my 2024 .

I scraped and dented the pan last week and that's why I'm here. Luckily everything is fine 😅

Yikes! That could have been really bad! Put a new one on there and and add a skidplate!

What torque should be applied to the M14 bolts?

What do u like about it vs other options
@MatthewHeiskell9 ай бұрын
Good question! This one doesn’t have the vents stamped into it. Those vents aren’t open enough to actually flow significant air, they make the bottom rough, but you want a skid plate to be smooth to slide. And the vents weaken the overall skid plate. The Crawford is a better design.

Do you think it matters that it doesn't have a hole or opening to access fluids? I'm debating between the ADF transmission skid plate (no access) or the Rallitek plate. The Rallitek plate looks like there's a hole to access fluids... which makes me lean that way. I don't work on my FW and I still take it to the dealer. I also bought the extended warranty (probably shouldn't have) and don't want to shoot myself in the foot by getting plates that don't allow work to be done by a dealer if needed.

Avoid skidplates with access holes, it's just a weak point. It SUPER easy to remove the 10 bolts and get the skidplate completely out of the way. Also, I recommend avoiding skids with "vents"

The install requires removal of structural plates. Does this void any Subaru warranties? Doe it compromise chassis stiffness?

I don’t think there is an issue with any warranties. I can’t think of anything that could fail and get blamed on a simple skidplate. I think overall chassis stiffness is improved because all of those points are now connected with a single plate instead of two small and very thin plates.
