Just giving you a hard time. Used to use mine in the woods too.

I had wondered about that, but I think I would have had to seal in the inner fender to frame gap as well. If the front center section was isolated, would the engine compartment lose heat any differently?

I have a skid plate from Con-Fer that’s mounted to the bottom of the bumper and to the bottom of the crossmember. Hangs down a little from the crossmember and has a mount for the steering stabilizer.
Never really liked the design of that mount, but it was a beefy plate! 3/16 I think. Feels heavy enough to be a 1/4 inch thick, but never actually measured it and my memory tells me it’s 3/16.
Took it off to work on it so it’s sitting on the side of the garage right now.

It does have air holes in it to allow for flow, so probably not the best at blocking mud. But that was not a priority for me, as I purposely stay out of the mud as much as possible.
Got tired of the cleanup years ago!
