I've been thinking of more light weight protection for all the accessories under then van, rather than heavy duty protection for the oil pan, etc. Something to keep the rocks and crud from getting at things like compressors, flat plate and the like, or at least slow it down. Some expanded steel would go a long way toward protecting some equally expensive -- if not so incapacitating -- stuff. Better yet if the frame work could be combined with something like scatter's rock rails. I'm more likely to bash in a side than punch a hole in the oil pan.
