    I was doing an oil change this morning and noticed this cracked sheet metal. I'm just looking for advice on how much I need to worry about this and what the remedy is.

    For context, I have a size 24F battery.

    What's the accident history on the truck? Looks like more than one area in that space.

    None. Just treat the truck like a truck off-roading.

    As much as I would like to own a Baja racer, the reality is that I’m on the east coast and resulting have a very slow truck decked out in steel.
