Consequences of playing with rocks. . . . .

[OWEN]

May I ask what part is damaged and whether it can be replaced? What substantive impact does it have on the entire chassis and driving? All friends are welcome to laugh and give suggestions. I'm just a rookie!

honestly they don't look that bad. they all can be replaced. if the truck drives normal i won't lose sleep over this

Those are cross members, but I think they look fine. I would bash them back, paint them, and then get skids like these from @RCI Offroad

 

[Tricky Mike]

That's not hurting anything. There are various skid options to protect them from further damage, and I think a few people have added UHMW to them.

2.3 Broncos don't even have those.

 

[TX-Dennis]

No problems. That's just a minor scrape. Nothing needs to be repaired or replaced.

As stated no harm no foul. Bur recognize how close that damage is to your plastic transmission pan and how bad things could have been. Consider covering it with a skid plate.

I have a new in the box LOD skid that will clean it all up…

Thanks for the answers guys, I'm going to place an order to buy some fenders!

RCI, JCR, LOD, ASFIR and a number of other sell skids. Google is your friend

If you are even a little bit mechanically inclined these are a 10 min self install, don't even need to lift the rig off the ground unless you supersize your happy meals

New fenders is your take away??

If anything, don’t worry about your frame rails, or fenders. See that nice “plastic” transmission cover that is unprotected? Go get yourself a skid plate so you’re not stranded on the trails when a rock pierces it, and you lose all your transmission fluid.

It's all good. Nothing major, crossmember brace.............


Wait a minute, fenders?????

Quoted for truth. You got lucky you didn’t destroy your transmission pan.

Welcome to the team. Clean up up a bit. Spray with Rust-Oleum. And hide with RCI cross-member skids + transmission skid.
