Thought I would share a project I finally got to today. I have been prototyping for a while now on rear "side skirts" to try & keep some of the mud, rocks, etc out of the engine compartment. I ordered (2) 24x30 stiff poly mudflaps from Northern Tool for this.

I cut cardboard templates for fitment then transferred that to the mudflaps & jigsawed them out. There are angle iron brackets that I mounted to the front side of the sway bar bushing bolts on both sides to use as a fastening point. I used large self tappers to make the skirts easy to remove for access.

Its pretty muddy/sloppy out today & they do keep ALOT of crap out so I'm happy with the results. I think they match the 700 pretty good in material color too. There's still a lot of room for air movement also so I'm not to concerned with trapping heat. If nothing else I can always remove them in the summer months.

Thanks for lookin!

Nice job. You could maybe sell some of those to P2 owners...but it will be interesting to see how they do in summer heat.
