E&E Off-Road 200 Series Skid Plate System

[dudemancool1904]

Changed my oil today.
Did a bolt check, everything was still snug (used blue Loctite).
Oil drain and filter doors came out no problem.
tried to keep everything clean but found about 30 seconds into the oil draining it starting dripping back into the skid plate. Ugh. Spent 20 mins cleaning it out with brake cleaner and rags.
Will definitely switch to a Valvomax after this.

Other than that everything worked great. Checked all the panels and I definitely got my money’s worth in terms of gouges in the front panel (bottomed out a few times) but overall everything looks great.

Get a flexible funnel. I use the below one and it works great.

I cut a 1qt plastic paint container from the hardware store in half vertically, and it wedges in perfectly between the oil pan and E&E skid. Holds itself in place and completely prevents spillage.

Also very easy to clean up afterward.

Will get pics when I have some time.

The foldable funnel seems useful though.

With the Valvomax fitting, You don't even need to drop the drain door. The drain tube goes over the side of the skid and into the drain pan.

The oil drain valves make it so much easier to do oil changes. All my vehicles have them.

I have the Fumoto F-103 along with the Jowett performance oil filter housing on my LX. From what I hear, the Valvomax is a good choice too.

Glad you like the skids!
