    belly pan is dragging..

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    The other day i was driving in the furthest left lane to the concrete center barrier and i heard a loud dragging noise coming from my car, i pulled over and noticed the left side of my belly pan was dragging on the street. Ive done some research on aftermarket hardware i can purchase to correct the issue but i still dont know exactly what/how many i need to fix it. Also where can i purchase? autozone? lowes? home depot?.. thanks!

    The plastic belly pan is flimsy. Get a Thor or panzer plate instead

    Drive without it for a while till you can come up with the money to get the correct hardware for the vehicle. You'll smile and wont regret getting it the next time you take off and put back on. Sure it's more expensive at the dealership.

    Before buying what shape is the belly pan in? If the holes are intact just zip tie it back up. Or drill new holes and ziptie.

    I drive without my belly pan but I think there is good protection added by keeping it on since there's a lot of wiring close to the floor

    +1 for drill holes and ziptie. If its broken apart then buy new or an upgraded skid plate. I drive without mine.. makes oil changes easier.

    Another vote for zip ties or no belly pan if you're in a warm climate. If you're somewhere cold, upgrade that shit with a metal pan.

    zip ties work wonders....as we all know haha. If its dragging, there are only a Few mounting areas you need to work with. I bet if u get under the car, it may be better than you think.

    Junk yards are a gold mine but sucks digging/crawling around in the cold, depending where you love.
