quaxum Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 We all know how low the tracer's clearance is. I was looking into guards that would protect the oil sump. it seems like other than skid plates, the other alternative is this oil sump guard. I don't fancy the idea of removing the skid plate for every oil change. Therefore i'm looking at this alternative. Suggestions/inputs appreciated! Let me know what you think! Thanks!

Premium Member fddriver2 Posted July 27, 2020 Premium Member Share Posted July 27, 2020 It's made of some seriously hard SS. I have a 2015 and was going to put it on. But I don't have the ability to drill a relief hole for the oil plug. Which was a deal breaker for me. I would let you have it if you pay the shipping from 33317.

Stew Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I just ordered one, seems like the ideal solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. Just let me make sure I have all the parts. Just remember it has some scratches where I was trying to drill a hole so that it didn't have to come off to change the oil.... I've drilled SS before. This stuff is crazy hard.. Whoever wants it I will send some pictures to to make sure you are happy with it. 2 1 "It doesn't matter who walks in, you know the joke is still the same" Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

smeller Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Im located in Denmark so shipping propaly wouldn't make sense. Just wanted to know if it actually fits and looks to be protective. I have the updated sump with the plug in the side instead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the price point I was trying to adapt it to my older bike. "It doesn't matter who walks in, you know the joke is still the same" Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

It's for the new version of the oil pan 2017 and up? The oil plug is in a different spot on the newer models. I was trying to make it work on a 2015 FJ-09. I was taken in buy the description that said it was aluminum. It fits what it says it fits "It doesn't matter who walks in, you know the joke is still the same" Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

Supporting Member betoney Posted August 1, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted August 1, 2020 A big THANK YOU to @fddriver2 for sending me the guard free of charge! I helped him out many months ago with free parts and he returned the favor, just one of the benefits of this great forum, members helping other members. 😎👍 2 2 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
