Serious Oil Pan Protection without Compromise
Just installed a Benchmark Designs Rockcrawler Oil Pan over the weekend and without a doubt, this is the single best answer to oil pan protection I have seen. Constructed from 3/16” thick high-strength steel, this replacement oil pan is very affordable (only $160), easy to install and offers superior protection and without sacrificing ANY ground clearance. Anyway, here's what it looks like installed...
The oil pan is the only thing that Chrysler didn't armor up and I'm glad Benchmark Designs came out with this awesome solution

I was going to go with a skid plate, but this looks great? There is a difference between stock and this one at all? I assume this one is made out of thicker metal.

the factory pan measures less than a 60 thousandths of an inch thick. the benchmark oil pan is 3/16" thick. this is a much better solution to a massive skid plate that's way more expensive and robs you of ground clearance.
