DIY - build shield to cover underbody cavity behind left rear tire

[DoomsdayJesus86]

Great work. I was just mocking up a model of your design and the measurements do not quite line up with your picture I assume you made a 1/1 cardboard model so I based this model on that 13-inch measurement on the bottom. Do you mind helping me clear that up? Anyway, I will be making some if anyone is interested.

I'm definitely interested. The snow and salt has been sub-optimal in PA this year.

I’m going to start printing a few today. I’ll need a few people to test fitment.

I'm interested.

You could always just use some aluminum thermal tape if you're worried about proximity to the exhaust. It's cheap and already in use on many vehicles.

Thanx. Great idea. Simple and cheap, two of my favorite things. Actually I kept a close eye on it the first few weeks after install. I've been using the remote start app to warm up the truck and then I would check the shield thinking that would be the time if any it could get hot. It was not even warm so off to worry about other things that really could happen.

It is indeed, once I finalize the fit I will post a template.

Quick update to everyone, finished the prototype today. I have someone who is going to test it for me and then give me any feedback. Here is a picture of it.

The final design will be in black ASA, a material very similar to ABS, which is used in car plastics already, with just a bit more desirable properties for printing. If I can find a box the right size it will come preassembled. Everyone interested would you like it to include the L brackets and stainless hardware required or source that yourselves?

I would want the installing hardware included as well. Thanks so much for taking on this project. You’re going to get a lot of interest in this and maybe even an eye from Ford.

I'm interested in the panel and hardware! Keep us posted.
