I have not modified my oil pan at all.  Have traveled some rather rough
unimproved roads with no difficulty when taken easy.  Only time I have
banged the oil pan is backing out of my own driveway to fast.

Just finished an unimproved trip up to Virginia Dale this weekend.

I am however looking at raising my rear about an inch with some spacers.
