I have had some problems with the mud guard, that thick rubber mat thing that shields the water and mud away from the motor. I need to get a new one or make one, anyone suggest anything?

Check home depot or some place like that and buy a sheet of thick rubber and then cut it to the right shape and put in. that should be pretty easy as long as you can find a sheet up rubber...

I never had one of those before so i used rubber roofing and had to make my own template wasnt sure what the old one loked like but it wrks pretty good, i held it in place with a bunch of self threading tech screws and just screwed it all along the edges. i only found one problem is that its not very stiff so it likes to sags a little in between things and creates a pool or water when going into deep water and mud, so i just punched a series of 1/4 inch holes where the water gathered, PROBLEM SOLVED

how bad would it be to just tear it out?

just tear it off.
it really won't make that much difference, well ,you will get some mud "splash" up in there but it won't hurt anything. unless you are going into REALLY deep stuff, and in that case wouldn't it just grab the mud like a shovel if say you had to reveverse?
just my .02
FUNCTION BEFORE FORM BABY ha-ha

My '89 YJ does not have one of these splash shields.
I'd just rip it out.
Who cares how clean under-hood stays? HAHAH
As long as everything works, I don't care anymore.
