INteresting trail only floor idea

[gravdigr]

I was watching one of those truck shows the other day and noticed something. One of the buggies used punched/stretched steel for the floor where it meets the firewall. I imagine this gives excellent visibility to the front tires. Probably not a good idea for mudding or a streetable vehicle. Has anyone tried this with their trail only K5 with decent results or is the angle all wrong to see past the tire? In any case I thought it was pretty slick.

The heat coming up through the floor would make for a pretty miserable day of wheeling.

not to mention the mud and dust on some trails.

Monster Trucks use plexiglas on the floors... there is better visibility to the ground looking through the floor than there is by looking out the windshield.


Not sure that it's a great solution for a wheeler.....scratches easily, gets covered in dust easily, and probably would melt with exhaust & tranny heat.

I would imagine lexan would work, but I believe it scratches fairly easily and is a pain in the arse to work with.
