Ouch!! I had fear of the same thing so installed a full skid and guards that go in the wheel wells from utvinc.

 

I had a stick come up on the drivers side right under my left foot. It made about a 2" hole in the floor board but didn't break out the piece so i was able to glue it back down.

 

I have had it happen twice. Once on drivers side and once on passenger side. The one on drivers side pinned my right foot back against the seat base and gave me a pretty good scar on my ankle. The one on the passenger side just missed my wifes leg. Both came through saem where the floor meets the fire wall and left no holes. There are some aluminum fender well protectors on e-bay that would help with what happened to mine.

 

Lets see some pic's

 

Saw this on a jeep forum awhile back. Can't remember where..

 

Had it happen to me. Dead Lodge pole pine through the firewall. I got a plastic welder from harbor freight and some plastic rods and welded it back. I rough sanded it and you can hardly tell where it went through.

 

Not sure i'd replace the floor but would def. Put a uhmw skid on!!!!

 

I have always had this go through my mind. This just maybe the deciding factor for my decision to install some aftermarket protection!

I do have a FUTV skid. The branch came up just above the skid and frame.

Do you think plastic weld I'd going to fix this?

 

OUCH!!!! I had this happen on a Ranger that I had----- I cut some aluminum diamond plate and glued in a section over the hole-- I did both side (passenger/driver) to make it look better.

 

Vic I patched mine with a peace of the old skidplate.

 

My front tire threw large rock thru my 2015 RZR XP4 floor board last weekend! It scared the shit out of my brother-in-law who had his foot on the portion of the floor where the rock hit. He had a pretty nasty bruise on the bottoms of his foot a few hours after our ride. Is this a common problem? How do I go about fixing the hole?

Sorry to hear about that. Anything suddenly coming through the floor or firewall would scare me too! I am glad he is okay.

Personally, I think a rock coming through like in your case just should not happen. But...it did. I would piece it in with a plastic welder if I couldn't get it fixed under warranty (hey...you never know). I think the plastic in that area is too brittle/thin/weak or something. How big was the rock?

 

wow thats def a freak incident
personally the cheapest way i would fix it is fibre glass matting and resin on the outside in the wheel well
the repair with several layers of matting will prob be stronger than the floor
auto paint shop supplies

 

Didn't go through, but had a nasty hit right under my foot in same spot except on drivers side. Scared the crap out of me and hurt a bit, but no bruise.

 

On mine that I plastic welded all the material was still there...just jagged. My son put a boot against it in the cab and pushed it out. The hole was as big as your fist, but with some heat it all went back. If you lost plastic, I think I would scab on some aluminum.

To those that talk about skid plates, mine was through the fender well, not from the bottom. I wish someone would sell.an aluminum fitted fender well guard. Those trees aim right for your crotch!!!

 

I had that happen to me once on the passenger side, luckily no one was sitting there, it hit on the bend in the floor where it meets the fire wall, all I had to do was push it back into place no damage.

 

After reading this post, I think I might add these...Boesch Built | www.BoeschBuilt.com

 

Well those pictures sold me into buying the steel Inner Fender Guard from Boesch Built, I will give feedback when I get them installed, I ride alot of mtns her in the northwest MADDOFWFO

 

Thanks for the advice on fixing the hole. I am thinking of buying some diamond plate and rivoting it to the floor on each side where this happened. I found a place online (cut2size.com) that will send you precut panels.

The rock was about the size of your fist. It was jagged and kicked up with great force from the front tire. I was in 4 wheel drive and trying to navigate a corner with speed when it happened.

 

I had one almost come in the driver side, it lifted the floor board under my feet a few inches and then broke off... thank god. Scared the hell out me, I was going slow under 10 MPH and it just found that one spot between the factory skid and the floor boards.

Few weeks later I put a full 1/2" skid from Ricochet on mine.

Had a really bad incursion through the floor and sill plate area 5 years ago on the 800. Could have been really bad injury, but I just got lucky. I just installed the Boesch Built plates on my 900 S. I feel a lot better now.
They are a First Class product, with a one page color instruction sheet & stainless hardware. Paint/powder coat was excellent. The site says they fit the 1K, but I had to do a little trimming and add a few mounting holes to fit correctly. Touched up the bare metal with some Krylon rattle can bed spray to prevent rust. No big deal in my shop.

 

It happened to me as well but it was a 1" branch came through the floor board right behind the gas pedal and actually pinned the throttle all the way open, i had to jam on the brake and shut the rzr off so i wouldn't get out of control. Scary shit.

 

Ya, it IS scary shit when that happens! Not 100% certain my wife would be able to react quickly enough in that situation to get it stopped.
Between the Factory UTV skid plate system, these new guards and full doors, I feel a lot safer on the trails!

 

Ya thanks for sharing those wheel well skid plates def buying those
