Thanks for the post and picture. I'm going to do the same thing you did
Still tryin to figure out this pic thing. Wouldnt let me download my pics said to big along with a max size. Resized to what it said and thats what I got.
Trapper, pop your drivers seat off and the Battery compartment is wide open and you can hose her down good. I will never be able to keep all debris out but that rear tire will fill that box. I want to keep the mud and snow out. also I put more ty wraps on all the cables in front of the left rear tire. The one goes up to the brain box behind the drivers seat.I talked to the dealer a few weeks ago and the issue about mud and junk getting up by the battery that did not seam to bother them much but they did say to wash it out good so I have a tube similar to what you would clean out a water heater to get the water back in there with out using high pressure. I like the ideas I have seen posted and pictures are hard to view so my concern is that when you get this partially covered it will be hard to get the hose pass the cover to wash out the area above the skid plate that is holding mud. I would think this cover will not stop 100% of dirty water.
I will take a closer look is there enough room inside the battery box to close off the side facing the rear tire.Trapper, pop your drivers seat off and the Battery compartment is wide open and you can hose her down good.

What is the tye wrap used for on the cables are talking like zip tiesI will take a closer look is there enough room inside the battery box to close off the side facing the rear tire.
What about the battery box could you line that inside like with some fiberglass and bondo. on the one side facing the tireYup. I hear them called Ty wraps, zip ties and snap ties.
All my cables were loose and flopping around. The cable that goes up high behind the drivers seat is for the ECM. When you pop your seat off you will see the cover for it. Needs more protection around it I think being right in front of a rock throwing tire.
I saw after you posted on amazon free shipping 12''x12'' .125 for $9.95 i will wait to buy to see if that works.View attachment 2554
I got some larger pieces of .090 Kydex in. I buy it from a Tandy store in Anchorage. It can be heated and formed. I will be using it on the radiator sides for rock protection and to cover the large opening in the battery box. I was hoping to have made these already but what I had was to small. I'm hoping I can get this done this weekend. I will post pics if I'm successful! :wink2:
