I don't do any serious rock-crawling, but I do frequent trails with some extended rock sections where I've wished I had more undercarriage protection.
Thanks for the suggestions. I like your idea regarding the modular plate with varied thicknesses. I was thinking about 1/4-3/8'' thickness, but if I could use 3/16'' in "less vital" places it will reduce the overall weight a bit...all the better.
When using the 1/4'' or 3/8'' I don't image needed any stiffing ridges...true?
