Does anyone know of anyone making off road parts for the outlander sport?
Like a scuff plate?
I think if i can't find one pretty soon i may try and mock one up out of cardboard to take to a machine shop to see if i can have one made. I want a nice thick Aluminum Pannel to cover and protect the oil pan and under chassis of the front of the motor for when i get her off road.
I hated taking the plastic one off my evo 9 everytime i did an oil change, so i want one that can protect the oil filter from the front, but still give acess to a quick oil change as well.

 

Here's what I found:

Novline 35.25.020 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport - RVR Skid Plate - 2010-2012 - Heavy Duty 11 Gauge (3mm) Steel Plate - Black $220

Or,

11 Mitsubishi ASX Jin Hyun Jin-hyun , under guard , under the white titanium alloy engine guard engine skid plate $67

(It may need some modding, but for the price...)

From the pictures that Asian imported one looks to be roughly as thick as a soda can

 

It does look thin, maybe buy 2 and layer them? haha

 

Hey now..
HAVE you ever held an asian soda can? They use some really thick aluminum for their pop!

 

My cousins in the Philippines probably made these badboys. Just blame me if they fold like paper. Holla!

 

Awesome that does work, thanks so much! i was looking for a 12 gauge steal or aluminum, but it is a start.

You bet.
Let us know what you end up going with... One of those or a custom fab.

 

this thread went well

 

A little help (from anyone)

Can someone look under their engine bay and confirm if there suppose to be a splash shield (of some sort) to cover the oil pan & oil filter, mine is just completely exposed to the elements...

TIA.

 

Mine is exposed as well, I'm 99.999% sure.

Thanks.

Alright.
100% confirmed.
I just looked at the vehicles on the dealer lot - NO shield/cover of any sort directly below the oil pan & oil filter...

Kind of lame.

Side Note:
Talked to the parts supervisor.. They don't have anything listed in their computer nor have knowledge of any other accessory supplier that have a "belly pan" for our O.sports (currently).

 

Here's some additional products I found that might work (with some mods)

skid plate for Mitsubishi L200 (UK), LINK

(no pricing on site)

Alloy steel engine belly cover for MITSUBISHI OUTLANDER EX (Guangzhou), LINK

(est. ~$30/piece, minimum order 50 pieces - Alibaba)

 

Those are pretty nice looking! I'm diggin' the skidplate!

 

I don't think the second one will work. It shows the engine bay to be quite different than ours, most notably the exhaust:
