anyone have any ideas where I can get a front skid plate for an "03 Tracker? Went to the dealer and they were more confused than I was apparently there's a difference as to where it was built and if it was being shipped out of the country and to what front plate would fit. the first one I ordered didn't fit.
also when installed does it have to be removed to drain the oil (does it cover the oil pan)?
-
try bobmaguireparts.com and yes it does have to be removed to drain the oil.

I got one of those EZ drains for mine, has
a hose that can be put thru the holes in the
skid plate, it's a little tight to get in there
but it's easier than removing the plate.

I've heard that those easy drain things suck... that they take too long and don't allow as much oul to get out of the bottom of the pan (and therefore keeping more of the sludge and shit in the bottom of the pan).
What are your thoughts on it?
-
just make sure u get the ez drain ones that isnt to restricting..i have one on my moms GV and my trac..both work fine
i cant really tell u how long it takes to drain since i have never timed it or even watched it..i just un screw and go do something else lol
