I also took this opportunity to replace my engine guards. Both sides of the guard were bent from going down a few times in the dirt and I thought this would be a good time for some fresh metal.
The aluminum plate is very strong, and I like how high up the new guard goes. Some mud might make it through the slots in front, but it's going to keep the engine a lot cleaner.
Notice how close the new skid plate hugs the frame. I wish I had a pic of the original plate, but it hangs about 1/2 - 3/4 inch down from the frame. The new plate probably extends only about 1/4" out, so you actually gain ground clearance with this mod.
