Replacement oil pan recommendations?

[Ron Hall]

PO wanted to climb rocks and put a substantial dent dent and crease in the oil pan on my rubicon. Replacing the pan and rear seal is my next project. I wondered if the pans available from Crown, Adix or several others are equal to stock. Has anyone bought a replacement pan? Recomendations?

I bought OEM from here:

Mine was just rusty.

curious on responses. need to do mine as well..

I would suggest OEM. Aftermarket parts never seem to fit as well as OEM.

Do you think there is any chance the oil pump pickup may have been damaged as well?

 

[Ron Hall]

I dont think the pickup is damaged based on very normal oil pressure. I ordered a pan made by atp greywerks in usa. The mopar parts that i have purchased lately were bolts made in china. They still cost double. When I see the pan coming, I will tear it down and put a rear main seal in. The exhaust has a smaller dent also so I may replace it too. I will review this oil pan when I get it installed.

I put a Spectra pan on my Rubicon. Seems to fit just as good as OE and the design was the same as well.

I have seen several comments about spraying down the exhaust bolts with liquid wrench. It sounds like great idea but when I tried to do it wow. I would welcome suggestions on how to get a spray can in position to soak them.

Spray into larger diameter tubing and let it drip/run onto said bolts.

I believe that might do the job. Thanks.
