TRUXterra Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 More details man as to which one dented...OEM of RR's? Based on your previous post, I'm believing it's the RR...imagine if you were stock... In the end another great post as to why aftermarket skids are worth their weight!! I still have a golf ball sized dent in my lower oil pan from an outing back in 2009. I certainly will not have the same issue today (3/16" front to back) ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robicon Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 More details man as to which one dented...OEM of RR's? Sorry the RR oil pan. Not so much dented but scraped up. Details help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRUXterra Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 lol, yes details do help, dented vs. scraped is a bit different. In the end, another example as to why good skids should be at the top of the "mod list"...you can drag a vehicle under it's own power over many obstacles without too much fear.

TomWood Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I tore the hoses connectors off my washer fluid bottle, almost ruined my license plate, scraped and dented rear drivers flare and bumper, dented gas tank skid, and thats about it so far, dont think I will run the second half of B&G until some more mods are completed, metal for the rockers being ordered in two weeks.

SQRLPWR Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 I got oil dropping down the pan, bad enough to leave a mess after an hour. looking at it, it looks real hard to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 1st gen X's you have to drop the front diff to get to the pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumnwalker Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Can you actually identify where the leak is coming from? Clean up the area with degreaser as best you can and check it after an hour to see if you can pinpoint the leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 There's only a small part of the pan showing and the rest is well hidden, tucked up behind the front diff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomWood Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Wow, that's a great diagram of the pan. Wonder if you would be able to wipe down the visible area and see if you can find the source after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQRLPWR Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 thanks, I'm good with crayons LOL I tried wiping it down, but all the running gear is blocking the view. I'll give it another go later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastcoastcam Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 thanks, I'm good with crayons LOL I tried wiping it down, but all the running gear is blocking the view. I'll give it another go later Costco sells an inspection camera for around $100. Very useful for poking around in there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I break suspension parts, HOW quick am I to fix it, pretty damn fast. So don't sell ME short. Agreed Rob, however it also required a run to home to get parts and then return to repair. I think Scott was noting that the Libby was able to get off the trails under it's own power, without any additional trips to leave the trail ;) Spaceace, do you have the know-how & tools to do this repair on your own? I did this on my 96 Pathfinder (almost the same) and I can tell you for a fact that liberal amounts of your favoured rust fluid & air tools are a must. Given the age, most of the bolts will snap if you use a cheater bar and sockets in the driveway (ask me how I know!!??). For the bolt & nut combo, this is not an issue, you can get them from your favorite shop, for the bolts to OEM frame mount welded nuts, this is not going to work in you favour. I used the auto-club at CFB Windsor when I replaced my rusted pan (in 2004) and it took about 2 hours start to finish...most shops will quote the shop manual hour time of 3.5 hours.

The general consensus is the pans are known for rusting through in areas where they gather salt. Couple that with the fact that they are made of several sections of steel brazed together, I'd be fairly certain I cracked it on a rock, it's very crusty looking to start with. TBH I'm can do basic maintenance, but when it comes to this I'll need to take it to a shop due to the lack of skills and tools. Any shop recommendations would be gratefully received!
