Hell yeah can’t wait to outfit our OBW with these skid plates! Great vid

Heck yeah! Can’t wait to see! And thanks!

Yep, mine had the leaking oil pan gasket, long story short is the entire engine is being rebuilt. Down 1 wilderness going on 3 months. Love the skid plates!

Was it defective or did you scrape something?

Awesome video. Thank you

Great stuff!!!

Ordered a set today!

dif protection should not be attached to the rear dif. it defies the purpose. i good strike and you have a cracked dif. also, vents on stock skid is there for a reason. you need to include them on your aftermarket one.

Could you please include the weight specs on each plate? Seems like we have a winner here!

I would mind this on my Forester Wilderness

Any plans to add an access door that can be quickly removed to quickly change the oil without removing the whole skid plate? (similar to a competitor's skid plate). I like your design better, but the one thing I don't like is no access door to get to the oil drain.

Is it a good flush fit so pressure isn't put on the bolts?

These look awesome. Any recommendations for a catalytic converter cage that will be compatible/not interfere with this setup? Or any chance you might develop an additional plate that protects the cat?

We do not have any recommendations on cat covers unfortunately and do not know if these will work with them

Will rocks dig into aluminum skid plates compared to steel? E.g. material is softer… How do you address galvanic corrosion between aluminum plates and steel body mounts / fasteners?

Hi there Will you make these plates for 2016 Outback?

Took my skid plate off to find my oil pan leaking. Goes in next week to be resealed.

Looks good! I have a question though. On the front plate is the engine oil pan drain plug still accessible after front plate is installed or do you have to take the plate off every time you want to do an oil change? I just want to make sure before ordering. It wasn’t clear in the video. Thanks

I just installed my front skid plate ordered from you guys and I feel the engine bay vibrate more. Is that normal? I check under and the skid plate is touching one part of the engine would you recommend adding a wash to the two front screws to stop the rubbing?

Yes they are larger then stock and we have not weighed the stock skids so we cannot speak on that as ours are aluminum and “stock” are steel
