3rd party Videos Video of underside inspection after trail ride

Thought this was interesting. Some good points on small things that could be improved, but overall positive comments. An unprotected, plastic (oil?) pan seems a bit risky?

I agree, when I saw the plastic oil pan bottom I was turned off, but when I had mine up on a lift you can appreciate how high and tucked up underneath the vehicle the pan really is. Not that its invulnerable, but you'd have a hard time damaging that part alone with conscientious driving and tire placement.

I guess that comes from the BMW engine engineering? Sounds like a skid plate plate would be pretty easy.

I think that section of the frame has pre-tapped holes incorporated into it for the installation of underbody armoring

From memory, several sections do, as some of the PTO1 and PTO2 vehicles had a few different skid plates (under the diffs, and covering parts of the belly)... I'm sure someone has photos of these from the vehicles on the ramps at the PTO2 stops (as they rotated "positions" and some were definitely on ramps with skids)

And a Metal pan.

The SPP Industries protection looks really nice. What's stopping me pressing the button is knowing exactly what taxes are due when importing from Germany into Britain. I think I might start talking to the wife about the wonders of Germany. A ferry and road trip passing by SPP and Car & Audio. What a coincidence.
