Skid Plate

I needed to replace my SM456 transmission mount, while I had the crossmember off I made a Skid Plate. I even put drain holes in it to replace the fluids. I also had a little problem while building it. I caught my pant leg on fire.

Don't worry! I was fine. Just caught the fibers from the hole in it. (It's not the first time I've done this.)

Just call me Fire Marshall Bill. Ha ha ha ha ha!!

To make the bends I cut half way through the metal with a cut-off wheel and then bent it up and welded the seam.

 

Nothing the matter with that ..I will give you two thumbs up for that work...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Looks like an anti-skid plate.

 

nice work scott! now let me know what you do about a skid plate for your engine oil pan...

 

good work on skid plate. dissapointed no pics of pants aflame though.

 

maybe we should check on utube?!R)

 

I don't think I'll have a problem with that. The engine oil pan is fare enough out of the way to ever get hit. (I think.)R)

 

my 47 2a came with one which had seen some "use".
i've noticed a bit of a dent in my current cj 225 pan....
but remember, i'm the ecj5 designated paranoid..R)
