Re: Complete skid plates comparison

Any problems with changing the oil on any of these??
The 2-inch hole in the BudBuilt skid plate gives just enough room for a socket to undo the oil drain plug and reach in to wipe off the splashes. When I pulled off the stock skid plate with the big oval opening for the oil drain plug, I found that the oil did splash all over the skid. So, for the most protection for your engine case, I think I can either live with having to remove the BudBuilt mid skid plate for each oil change (every 5,000 miles) or just reach in from the access hole and side to clean the oil splashes. BTW, I just came back from today's run through Coyote Canyon in Anza Borrego and I am so glad I installed the BudBuilt skids before this run.
