    Not so sure they could stop that from puncturing. They're just plastic...

    yeah regular sheet metal like used on the firewall. actually it's probably thinner than the firewall. that tree would punch through it like a sheet of foil.

    I've seen what you're talking about Dest and it wouldn't do shit to help. That is to prevent mud from getting stuck up under your vehicle, just like the firewall is to prevent a fire in the engine compartment from getting to the passengers in the vehicle. It isn't designed to prevent something like a tree puncturing through it. Infact, its actually designed to be punctured easily so you can run wires through it as necessary. It's nothing more than sheet metal with fiber glass insulation.

    Anyway, this whole thing just seems to me like he wanted to look like a bad ass driving over a tree when really he had plenty of room to simply drive around it.

    As unfortunate as it was to type that, right DS?

    My 4runner has that kinda mud flap stuff too. I thought it was plastic - but I didn't run down to check. I think at best it could have deflected the path of the tree - but the odds of where it hit/punctured through was so crazy that it doesn't really matter anyways. Then again, the odds of someone being stupid enough to want to drive over a downed tree next to the road just to show off to the guys behind them are fairly high...so you never know...
