My new skid plate! 14 gauge checker plate. Checkers up so there's no drag. I just drill 3/8 holes in alignment with the edge and cross tubing then held it up and plug welded it on. Took it out in some big rocks and it did well. Few little dents but not stuck any more. It was a much needed upgrade. Also closed in around the front drive shaft. I was conserned about sticks or trees coming through. Takes longer for water to come in but it works the other way too!

Hi, fenders look great. Mine chipped out where a rock hit it. (right rear fender in the pic).
What material did you use and how did you form them?
Great to see Joyners still cruising.
Thanks,
Mark

Ever since I replaced the plastic engine cover with an expanded metal cover (See photo) I have not had any cooling issues on the motor. It is important to blow out the radiator after every trip as the passages on the radiator are very small and plug up very easily. I also changed the rear fenders to 3/16 polycarbonate and bent them so that the wheel could not hit them in the upswing.

if you are questioning that gray part it is an oil reed to drain oil back into the crankcase.
