How to Make a DIY Skid Plate for a Subaru Forester

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

To make a skid plate for the oil sump of a Subaru Forester using parts taken from another vehicle: specifically, the skid plate from a Jeep Wrangler owned by the YouTuber. The part had exactly the same angle needed, so it was reused. To ensure a proper fit, a cardboard template was made with the same measurements to check alignment. Naturally, brackets had to be created to ensure the piece matched the holes present on it and those on the vehicle's body. An adapter bar was necessary to be made and placed at the front of the vehicle, to then weld the recovered piece from the Jeep and bolt it to the body.
