Forester (SK) 2019 – Current – Sump guard

Forester SK Sump guard
If you are wanting to increase your vehicles protection while also being able to take it Off road, then the Subaxtreme Sump guard is for you. The original plastic factory sump guard is very prone to being torn off completely therefore leaving the entire under engine area exposed. Generally, this leads to problems with dirt/sand entering starter motors & other engine components etc, along with other damage caused by sticks and even Wombats. The original plastic splash guard provides reasonable engine protection for splashes of mud etc, but no worthy mechanical protection for sump, oil filter or lower radiator hose/housing, all of which are at risk from rocks, small animals, highly crowned roads etc.

To create our Signature Subaxtreme sump guards, we first take 6 MM thick Aluminium sheets and laser cut them into unique vehicle specific shapes that will suit the underbody of each vehicle perfectly. After we have cut the shapes to suit the vehicle properly, we will bend the Sump guards in house into their correct shapes with our CNC bending machine these bends will help to suit the contours of the underbody of the vehicle. this bending process helps to make sure the mounting points for the vehicle line up correctly to the points we have designated along the chassis and also helps to increase ground clearance.

Depending on each vehicle variation of Subaru available we will have specialised brackets made to suit each model weather you have a Turbo, Diesel, or a Petrol Turbo model we will have a sump guard ready for your vehicle, and if we don’t then we will happily build one to suit with some notice. Just make sure to specify which variation you have when purchasing so we can make sure that you receive the right guard & mounting bracket.

Each of our signature Subaxtreme sump guards has been designed to be Airbag compliant and will not interfere in anyway with the safety systems that are provided from factory by Subaru. This sump guard is a bolt on replacement, generally only using between 4-6 bolts to attach so it can be done by yourself at home if you are handy on the tools.
