Hey Guys,

I was wondering if I could get a pic of the underbelly of some sas's that have skids, either custom or the calmini sas one. I gotta figure out how to protect the oilpan.. I dont like it out there nakid like that. Esp since im not as tall as some of the other sas's. I appreciate it.

Thats what she said!

I too would like to know this as I will have pretty much the same setup.

Skids are overated. plus Andrew still does not even have a front DS in so the only crawling he does is at the Mall.......

Love you guys

Dan

Bah... ha ha the doofus patrol arrives... :-) So seriously no one has any skids on their sas at all?

I have a transmision/tcase skid and a gas tank. Also both diffs have covers/skids.

Are they custom? Pics would be the awesome if you can...

I dont want this to happen to my oilpan

The Transmission/Tcase is the Calmini SAS skid.

The Gas tank is the Calmini but Shrocks will work also.

The front diff is a D44 cover the rear diff is custom.

Oi pan is still bare... its up and behind the axle and never had and issue (yet). If there is a rock in that area I try to put the passenger tires on it.

I haven't come close to hitting my oil pan in over 4 years with the SAS, and I'm in the rocks a lot. It's considerably higher up than the axle....you'd be hard pressed to get your axle over an obstacle and come down on the pan, honestly.

For the Tcase, i use a Skid row skid with the corner cut out for front driveshaft clearance.

Just to clarify what Kevin said - the Calmini skid doesn't cover the oil pan.... by design.

They figure that it's just naturally up and out of the way enough that you're pretty unlikely to hit it.

Andrew, is this possible to do with the skid you have and the crossmember that Richard made you? I would think that if you cut what ever is in the way of the driveshaft out you could find a way to attach the skid.

You might have me mistaken for someone else. No one named Richard made me an Xmember...I use the stock Trans Xmember on the Frontier with a section cut out, and a 3/4" plate "horseshoe welded in to clear the driveshaft.

I think he was asking Andrew if that would work with the X-member that Richard made for Andrew.

Yea sorry for the confusion

@Chris

It aint gonna work with the new crossmember that richard built. You *could* get it to work, but you will have to work with richie to figure out how to attach the front since it uses the stock crossmember there.
