Toms Rubicon oil pan

[dubt]

While wheeling at RC, I found out the hard way the oil pan is not a skid plate. Now I need to replace the pan. Do I need to replace the rear main seal at this time also or just the pan and gasket. While I'm on the subject ,SMike do you still have the template for a full skid you did for Tony's rubicon?

Replace the seal if it is leaking.  Otherwise, just the oil pan gasket.

Do you really need a full skid?  With a manual, just the oil pan should be sufficient.  The Nth Degree oil pan skid I had was awesome.  What about just plating a stock oil pan with a little sump armor?

smile armored up mine after i did the same think on rock creek 2-3 years ago..

leave the seal if you weren't leaking before the strike

So maybe something like this for the pan only. https://cdn.northridge4x4.com/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/T/E/TER4667100_1.jpg

That's the Nth degree pan that I have on my XJ. Aside from the fact that its the only skid I could find that would work with long arms, I like how it's built and how it mounts, and doesn't cause any interference with the drain plug. If you want,  I can send you some pictures of mine.

Cool

So what's the difference between a Dorman $52 pan and a mopar $151

If the pan was in better shape I might have been able to patch it and continue to wheel.

That's some crusty nastiness...

Yeah it's only bad on the front of the L. The back side is still smooth.

I sprayed those down 3 times since Saturday. All came out nice.
