Homemade belly pan protector
I took the all of the plastic protectors off the bottom and then started with a 4x8 sheet of 1/4" puck board ($60). I reused about 2/3s of the existing bolt holes and mounted the sheet of plastic. We went out in the muskeg lastnight and what a difference. It just slid through the mud with little resistance. All those holes on the existing one were holding me up and catching on the vegitation. I didn't find any heat issues yet but it was only +20C(68F). The stock metal pan, by itself was all bent up...too light of material.
I would suggest this to anyone running muskeg.
