    Anyone have an idea what the best way to mark or have measurements on how to cut the opening for oil filter on the stock skid plate?
    I don’t do a lot of wheeling and don’t see the need to buy an RCI etc just for the hole.
    I plan to bring it to a metal fab shop, have them cut it and make a cover that bolts on if it’s under a Hundy. Thanks

    I searched around but didn’t find it. I’ll look again.

    I found it but it doesn’t really outline the way to get a solid measurement.

    I spent some time, and actually designed a oil filter access port for the stock skid. But honestly the RCI skid is available at a very realistic price point, offers so much more protection(oil pan and more), not a tin piece of poo, and an overall awesome addition. I could not in good conscience offer a cheaper option, requiring labor, when a much more realistic option exists.
