This kid plate has an oil filter and drain hole so you only have to undo two bolts to do the oil change as opposed to the factory skid plate that you have to completely remove!

@kccreations5945 Жыл бұрын
Hey Scott! I had installed the differential drop when I did the 3”/1” leveling kit. It was recommended that at 3” or greater to install the differential drop so I did. In all reality 3” is kind of the line of it’s okay to do it or not but I had it so I did lol

That’s the big question! Just depends on your budget I think! And if you want black you have to get the aluminum one powder coated so there is an extra cost too...

HOW DO YOU DRAIN THE OIL/REMOVE THE OIL PAN BOLT? I SEE THERE IS A DOOR FOR THE FILTER.

If you go to 15:03 in the video you can see the oil pan bolt is accessible because the skid plate is curved around it.

I'm going to get the full skid plate kit. Engine, transmission skid and fuel tank skid. After doing lots of research RCI recommends getting the Fumoto valve to replace the oil pan drain plug. Did you get one? It's suppose to make it easier to drain oil with that skid plate on. RCI guy said he highly recommends it.
