Hey, they P.I.'s do have a great deflector shield for just that reason. I'm not positive about the MM's (cause mine's still being built), but the '03 P.I.'s also have a rather nifty steel skid plate that covers the entire front-end assembly. It's saved my P.I. from damage on more than one occasion in the past few months. In fact it went to use last night while chasing a stolen ATV through the woods on some rough trails.
