Looks like you might run into issues getting the drain plug out and in during oil change. Play it safe and swap it out and add skid

I HATE it when people cross post the same question and photo in every damn jeep forum they can find. See my response elsewhere.

I banged up the shit out of mine a few years ago right before a 8,000km road trip. Even though it wasn't leaking, I bite the bullet and changed it. Just so easy to **** the engine if something goes wrong there that you don't notice in time. |
There used to be a company that sold aftermarket oil pans that is also a skid, and holds more oil.
Can't remember the name of the firm, or if they are still in business. But as you have to replace the oil pan, and also buy a skid, it might be a great option. Just remembered, the company is Benchmark Designs. |

Replace and get a skid plate.
If you're taking your Jeep anywhere offroad where there are rocks and stumps WITHOUT one the biggest bang-for-the-buck in terms of protection items, i.e. an engine/transmission skid, you deserve what you get. ;) |
Ordered a new one from rock auto be here in a week. Half the price of what the dealer wants here in Canada even after exchange/shipping and tax. Going to install it then fab up a skid.
Thanks for all the helpful responses. |
