[QUOTE="wngrog, post: 31445"] Damn, those mufflers kinda throw my opinion out. If they were not there I would say ditch the boatsides. However, with all that crap sitting right there, you need some sort of protection. Steel is overkill IMO. AL would be best here. Leave off the plastic, it gets scratched and gouged out and it won't look good with that much of it on the side of your rig. Like Chris said, you may be able to get away with a tube there to do the job....running horizontal I would think, right there to protect the muffler. Skin it with .120 AL and you can replace it as it gets messed up. Jimbro had Moly plate on his buggy right there and it had no memory. Bent and stayed bent. He later cut it out and replaced it with replacable AL plates. They have memory and have some slight gouges on them, but he has not had to replace them in over a year of wheeling. [/QUOTE]
