How to make a DIY skid plate for a Subaru Forester

Model: Subaru Forester MK 4, SJ - Years 2012-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

How to make a skid plate for the oil pan for the Subaru Forester, using parts taken from another car: in this specific case it is the Jeep Wrangler transmission skid plate owned by the youtuber himself. The piece had exactly the same angle as needed and so he reused it. To be sure he made a cardboard model with the same measurements to see that it fits perfectly. Of course he had to create brackets to make the piece fit the holes on it and those on the vehicle body. An adapter bar had to be made, and placed on the front of the vehicle, to then weld the piece recovered from the Jeep, and screw it to the bodywork.

When your vehicle won't start and makes noises similar to electrical contacts, the cause is likely the battery. Release the bonnet using the appropriate lever and lift it to secure it with the prop rod. First, check the condition of your battery, then disconnect the terminals, starting with the negative one. Next, unclip the brackets securing the battery on both sides, then unscrew the bolts on the sides of the battery base to remove the brackets holding it in place.
