Hi All,
Can anyone identify the x marked part under the Mutts? Is it an armor plate covering the underside of seats or what?..and is it one-piece?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is a spaced armor plate to help defend against land mines.

I don’t think it’s “spaced” on purpose .. really just needs to clear the oil pan and driveshaft and center rails wich hang down about an inch further than the side rails.

Thanks

I found the answer on this drawing and wanted to share for anyone who wants to build an armored mutt.
Thanks and best regards.
