The oil pan is vulnerable, but, it is much higher up and above the drive shaft, which would take a hit first.... It would have to be a conscience decision to try an obstacle high enough that could damage the oil pan.... In my experience, Regarding control arm joints skids and diff covers, just losing the right line during a mid-level trail can cause unexpected damage.Looks to me like the oil pan is pretty vulnerable. I think I would rather bang up the control arms joints than bust the oil pan but maybe it’s an illusion
PS. For what I do here on the west coast, I also believe the control arm skids, diff covers, etc.... are the cheapest damage insurance - dollar for dollar -- and weight wise.
