The distance from the engine to the crossmember is the same whether stock or DJM. This is a good pic to show the relationship of the oil pan to the crossmemember. I have a XII drop. I have never hit the oil pan guard.
Does the deep sump oil pan come with hardware and gaskets? If you still have one left I'll take it regardless of included materials. This looks like an excellent, well designed, and not to mention impossible to find mod for the 1GR. Freaking Sweet!! :adore:
