I was worried about it before I bought it, but it's held shut by a spring. There's no accidental opening due to the way it's designed and latched. The valve is a ball valve, so it shouldn't leak, either. I really like it.

we were there but its tough to spot someone thats dragging over every rock.Ouch! You crunched your oil pan too? Where were the spotters? Oh ya it was raining.
I wouldn't have crushed it if I didn't have a Fumoto valve. Whatever crushed the skid plate also hit the tip of the Fumoto, which deformed the bottom of the oil pan. It's probably not necessary to fix, but I'm still under warranty. God forbid something completely unrelated goes wrong and they try to blame it on the dimple in the pan.
And Alex, I know you were wondering earlier what a Fumoto is; this replaces the oil drain plug:
glad your getting it fixed up for cheap.:wink2: the skids will help alot. id leave the valve off if you plan on wheeling still or at least till you get that runner up alittle higher .
whats rob charging you for those ?
I live in a town full of hippy tree huggers. Almost all of my older teachers went to Woodstock and I'm pretty sure most still smoke weed.... Environmentalists plague the town. We don't have hazardous waste pick up..
check with your city hall . in stoughton we have a waste bin at the police station . i bring everything down there for free. oil,diff fluid,trans fluid anything and everything .

I know, you guys did a great job spotting. The majority of the carnage is from my own stupidity. I parked right in front of a huge rock and forgot to go around it when I started moving forward. I high centered on it for a little bit. Maggie even warned me about it :happens:
Where are you looking in CT? I'm originally from the Hartford area (dad lives north, closer to Springfield and mom lives south of the city), so I'm familiar with a lot of the popular wheeling spots. I may be able to spare you a trip and tell you if it's worth going.
Back before condo living screwed up my ability to do routine maintenance you could drop your old oil at Auto Zone in their big waste oil tank, they don't still do that?I live in a town full of hippy tree huggers. Almost all of my older teachers went to Woodstock and I'm pretty sure most still smoke weed.... Environmentalists plague the town. We don't have hazardous waste pick up.
BTW, good thread idea, no one ever goes to the regional ones on here...

Nothing like what we did the other day. A lot of the good spots have been shut down, even though they were once legal...Damn NIMBYs.
Never been. Is it a trail or just an open area?
I ordered my new skids...they don't have any in stock and they will probably have to be fabbed

Don't they realize that our 4 wheel clubs take care and give back to our trails? STUPID!

Yeah, she saw it up on the lift at lous and agreed that the ones on there were pretty much destroyed. The ones I'm getting are actually cheaper than going factory.
