This weekend I made a new skidplate to protect the deep sump:

Good job! Innovation keeps our sport alive!

Best way for an offroader to protect a deepsump is to sell it to a street guy. I don't understand why I keep seeing them on dirt cars. It's like a trailer hitch hanging way down on a jacked up 4X.

Well I had the engine on my street car and swapped it. At least people are trying things instead of just doing the same old cookie cutter builds.

Looks good! Wish I have welding tools so I can make projects like that.

Yup, don't want to risk anything nasty when so far from home. Seeing your car slowly bleed definitely motivated me. I also finally got my shift rod bushing done. Only a few more things left to do.

Tool wise I just used an angle grinder, drill, and a flux core mig from harbor freight
