I do not have this pan yet. The trans is so far up inside the frame rails being deeper will not matter. I will be installing the pan over the skid do to loss of clearance I have the 2.7 with the angled support braces that hang down they are beat to hell I don't care. Give me clearance.
I have had this pan for about a year. Doesn’t add capacity and doesn’t hang but about 1/4 inch lower than stock. It was one of my first mods. Very pleased with the quality.

Can you post pics of the bars cut out and your plate mount. Doing a rebuild on the front end might as well add to the list. New FDU Ex Spicer, finally inst 3.0 hoss steering even thought the stock rack is still going after two years. Lastly new coilovers and rear shock relocate. Thanks for leading the way.

Agreed You hit a nice metal tranny pan its still likely to leak. Skid plate is simple and relatively cheap.

Better than the plastic but still need skid plates for going through rocks. Those aluminum pans are tough but I doubt they would stand up to dropping on a rock. It would just be an even more expensive repair.

Glad my Asfir trans pan is en route. Took a while to pull the trigger on it since that plastic pan is so high up there but once I saw the smashed up crossmembers last time I was under there I knew it was just a matter of time.

Not to worry check my profile 62 years old, been wheeling my Bronco 2 years now all good. I will posts pics of the area around the pan beat to hell by rocks, it not the rocks that hit the pan as much as piece of tree very rare.

The odds of hitting the pan are so miniscule it sits so high up in the frame. Place the wheels over the rocks not the pan. I surprised BB has not jumped on this fear factor.

Tossing our hat in the ring on the aluminum transmission pan side of protection. Our pan increases capacity by 2 quarts over stock for more cooling capacity, has internal baffles to reduce sloshing, has bolt retainers for easy install, and a magnetic drain plug making it way easier to service your transmission fluid.

If you are searching by part number, use MMTP-RGR-19. Heads up it also fits Ford Rangers, Mustangs, and F-150s with the 10R60 and 10R80 transmissions, so if you have another Ford in your garage, you could grab more than one :cool: Let me know if you have any questions!

The transmission pans is pretty far up but this owner managed to puncture theirs. The first thing I thought was that you put your tires UP on obstacles.

But stuff can happen.

I wasn't that far off the beaten path so I was impressed by how far back the Bronco got especially since it appeared that the Trail Mater vehicles struggled to get back there.

I have a few repairs tools with me but I think I might add some JB Weld and trans fluid. Or get some more armor.

In addition to the suggested pan updates this “instructional” vid made my arms and upper body ache watching the no power steering recovery. I’m old and more inclined to lean towards a skid plate vs aluminum, but like I said, I’m old. Lol
