    Good morning all.

    Does anyone make a stealth style winch bumper for 4th gen that has a compatible skid plate with oil and filter changed access. Have yet to find one where you don’t have to drop the whole skid plate.

    Thanks in advance

    They do not offer a winch bumper that I can find. I would like a winch bumper with a matching skid plate. That also has oil drain and filter access.

    I don't think an oil change is possible without making a huge mess unless the skid is removed, this 0-20w oil sprays all over the place and doesn't stay in a solid stream. Hell I make a mess with the skid off! With my '22 it was fine with the cartridge oil filter and filter housing hose attachment through the little door, but no way I could do the same now.

    The access hatches on skidplates are 99% useless in my experience. It's quicker and easier to just drop the skidplate. Don't fear it.

    Sounds good. I just figured a fumoto valve and some cardboard would make it simple.
