Oh I think that stuff is for air flow.

Oh I think that stuff is for air flow.

I would think it reduces airflow...
It buttons up across the front and side to side.
I was 1/2 thinking it stopped "some" Mudd from splattering...
But then decided it's like a Jeep diaper catching those engine drips that are so common...

:beer:

That, and the front "air dam" were among the very first things to be torn off all the Jeeps I've owned. I'm under there so often playing with things that I'd have to remove the PITA once or twice a month.

The steel "skid plate" I have kept, but even that is a pain in butt if I have to do any steering work. It's currently off, but when I go on a trek I put it back on for a little (and I emphasize little ) protection.

Yep, mine had a skidplate and the splash shield on it when I bought it. First thing I did when I got it home and was searching for a small fluid leak in the engine bay was tear that thing out.
