Default generator radiator protection?

Ok, another confession here. I have an intimate knowledge of everything between the front drive axle and the oil pan on my Renegade. However, yesterday was the first time I managed to slither under the rear end of the rig. I was just exploring, trying to learn the location of some stuff, and inspecting some axle work that was done for me.

While under there, I noticed that my generator radiator faces straight down. Furthermore, it is completely unprotected and located directly behind the drivers side mud flap. Granted, it is recessed a few inches, but it looks sort of vulnerable there.

Is some sort of rock guard necessary? I have read that I can expect some rough roads on my upcoming AK trip, so I am a bit concerned. I called Renegade about it, and the representative on the phone had no recollection of ever having fabricated any sort of guard. Maybe I'm just paranoid?
