What did you do to the X today?
Fixed the pics I think...
I fabbed up some Aluminum Diamond plate with thick rubber mudflaps. First time doing anything with either medium, so it looks a little DIY.
I had a rectangle of the metal so first I cut the maximum sizes out of the amount I had with my fine tooth wood blade on the table saw.
To get an idea of what cut in I wanted I just held it up to the rig and broke out my trusty sharpie pen.
I just clamped it to the top of my shop wood stove as a guide and again used a wood 1/4" round off bit on my router. I used the rounded off corners on my stove for a guide on the corners.
This is the finished product. I again used my trusty router for the rubber. That stank, but it was MUCH safer than using my table saw.
That should keep the majority of the dirt off my running boards and paint job

Ben - I am studless!! Haven't posted all day because I've been busy. Put my axles back together, reinstalled my hubs, warn lockouts, rotors and calipers. Cleaned up my head surfaces, installed the starter heat shield and finally finally finally 3 weeks into this project got a header (passenger side) installed. AMEN!
Brent - the snap rings fit perfectly on the Warns, all washers now installed in their proper location and order.

Thanks Gigger- onto the drivers side today,well once I track down some more size small latex gloves. My hands look like I just pulled them out of meat grinder and it's soooo hard to find gloves in a retail store in any size but L/XL which are worthless to me, they just fall off.

And don't get me started on the "one size fits all" myth.
