Would those stay on if you're scraping the bottom on snow a lot? Not to mention the subzero temps that make most adhesives just fall off? I've never lived in the UP but I'm an hour south of the bridge, and I've visited the UP a lot.
I had thought of using salvaged heating elements and thermostats from dishwashers to put in the oil and trans pans. The elements and end fittings are leakproof. Trans pan would be easy assuming there was room for it. Oil pan might not be worth it if the engine has to be raised from its mounts to remove the pan like on my cars.
