I spent just over an hour this evening installing a Rock Hard 4×4 Oil Pan & Transmission Skid Plate on my new Jeep. I didn’t put one on my 2010 JK and I ended up having to replace the oil pan once because it got hit by a rock, so I thought it would be a good idea to get one on this Jeep right away. Also, this new Jeep has a cooler line that crosses below the transmission that looks like it could easily get snagged on something…
A photo before I added the skid plate. See that cooler line hanging down?
Removed the stock crossmember that is supposed to offer some protection…
The new skid plate that will be going in it’s place.
After an easy install my oil pan and transmission are now protected.
