Looking for photos of dismounted under chassis components with the goal of upgrading off road protection. After market has been slow to meet the need.

Right and left side fiber mud/splash guards
Looking at JCR B-Sport EVAP and side skid plates as donor part that can be modded to fit. $400

Tremor front skid plate
Looking at Rival aluminum front skid for non Badlands B-Sport for the same. $200

I have the tools, torches, mig welder and some metal experience going to waste.

Looking forward to seeing what you fabricate and how they turn out.

Best part of all..... @fossil is in Ohio and I can come down and beg him to make some additional protection for my Tremor

May not be exactly what you are looking for but I am planning on changing my oil next week. That's at least dropping the skid plate. I will definitely take some pictures. I don't know if I will drop the felts but I can do some measurements. And of course being a native Ohioan genius master um everything. I may have some insights of my own.

Eventually I wanna put some more power into this truck but I won't mess with the programming till it's at least a little paid off. What I hope to achieve till then is protection, altitude, and chunky tire grip. I know my wife won't be into changing tires until these are worn a little bit. Maybe I can get away with a Flat out budget lift after we build our bedroom. But protection mods. Don't even need to talk her into those. Bumper extension for the skidplate, better plates(with drainage for washing salt off) in place of the felt, and something like Dueces is working on to prevent the rear bumper from acting as useless as a plastic snow shovel.

Appreciate the skid plate offer. Truth be told the front plate is of secondary interest since there is an existing one. I included it because it seems wider at the rear partially covering the front lower suspension mount and it's a pretty aluminum piece even with the useless trap door lol. The rear suspension mount looks to be out of danger as is. Even considering making it into a 2 piece depending on where the oil stuff is located.
The belly is where all off road Mavericks need the most help especially for the evap. If the belly is near as common to the Badlands as I expect the JCR parts will be a few mods from working. From watching their videos they seem to be heavy enough for some light bashing. They have a 90 day return so it's not a great $$ risk.

Well I will pick around under there. Aside from check on the mainland on our trip I haven't spent much time under it. It's about time I get familiar. Got some nice big 6 inch beam chunks to drive it up on. That in of itself is as good a test as TFLs slip test. If it looks like I won't break to many fasteners I will at least pop the front of the felts down. I just got a bunch of composite deck board. If stuff lines up. A couple straight runs of that could make a good base for some road signs to bolt to. They just leave those to take on the side of the highway
