The filter and housing are under pressure, whereas the oil pan is not. Where you might have an oil geyser shooting out from the filter housing, you'd merely experience a drip from a damaged oil pan plug or o-ring.
Ahh, I had to go back to watch the OP's video. You're referring to these "raptor-style vent" lights, not the Grumper grille which was referenced in your comment chain. I was so confused I had to look up the original Auto Evolution article featuring the Grumper to figure out what I was missing...
I'm pretty bummed there's even a repair bill on the Bronco, but that front bumper isn't all that substantial and it's very low.
This is the aftermath of a 35+ mph impact on my 3 month old Transit Connect after a Nissan Rogue ran a red light. Spun me to the right about 45° and the lady kept...
Who needs SAE beam patterns or power/lighting specs? Clearly these fog lights emit a crisp white light and complement the Bronco's rugged lines while serving their purpose on the road. They even improve driving safety because they're lights and they light up and they make you more visible to...
This could be pretty cool if it wasn't a crew cab. Instead it's built on a non-sasquatch Big Bend, has a lot of poor styling choices, and that "bed misalignment" is an eyesore.

Really though, you got way more engagement on your thread. I'd say it's...
Do you have a source for that? Can't tell if that was said in jest or if serious, given how the Boulder looks. Even in the high res auto show shots, it doesn't quite look real.
I also stumbled upon Hyundai's XRT lineup and the Crater Concept that was apparently revealed in November at the Los...
Incredible write-up. I never realized there were so many trade offs with portals; frankly, it hurts my head thinking about how complex this stuff can get. Every thread and comment you (and others) have posted about these makes me eternally grateful I never pulled the trigger. I have too many...
Fair enough on the styling, that's always subjective. These are just the only two with a similar style I'm familiar with offhand. I can all but assure you though that a brush guard will do nothing (or worse, cause more damage) in the case of a deer strike. If that's your concern, I'd definitely...
In the FJ Cruiser world these brush guards are known as damage multipliers. They're inexpensive and "rugged looking" but are flimsy. In even a minor collision, they often take out grilles, hoods, headlamps, fenders, that would have otherwise been left untouched.
I can't help with cheapo add...
