- Oil sump damage: A single rock strike can crack the sump and stop your trip instantly
- Engine mount stress: Hard impacts can misalign or weaken mounting points
- Oil filter exposure: Leaves critical components open to debris and impact
- Costly breakdowns: Repairs in remote areas become expensive and stressful
- Trip-ending failures: Even minor hits can leave you stranded off-road
