Here’s some photos of the changes I made to the template for my ‘23 P1k5. The changes/mods I made were mostly creating slightly lesser coverage for multiple reasons. I didn’t want to cut the factory fender wells to allow the skid plate to lay flat, plus I wasn’t 100% sure I could bend the skid plate evenly on both sides and make it look good. Also, the places I ride are mostly forest roads for hunting.
On the main skid plate, I chose not to bend the plate near the wheel well. I did notice that the skid plate would slide under the fender well plastic with some mods.
on the right of the photo, you can see how the main skid plate slides between the frame and wheel well plastic. The notch you see is a screw up. I should have cut that at an angle and it would have never been seen.
On the inside of the fender well there is a “tab” for support that will keep the plate from sliding in. I used the jig saw to make a notch so it would slide in deeper. Only one notch is needed. I measured wrong.
On the side skid plates, I again chose not to bend the UHMW. For me, it looked like the plates would sit more flush if I stayed with the original plate dimensions. Here is a photo with some dimensions written. The rest are just traces from the original plate.
In order to get the side plate to slide under/above the main skid plate, I used the router to decrease the thickness where a frame bracket is located. In the first photo, you can see the bracket.
I also made some drain holes in the side plates, since it looked like I was creating some areas to trap water. I just used the same hole saw that I used for the mounting holes.
Hope this helps a little for those that like to do their own fabrication. Here is a list of items I needed. Total cost was 1/3rd the price of buying the one I wanted.
UHMW- 4x10 sheet ( you can get away with a 4x8. That is the length they had)
M6-1.0x25 bolts to replace original skid plate bolts
two extra cup washers for skid plate.
M10-1.25x25 flanged bolts and fender washers for front of skid plate.
