Mud Flaps

[waiter]

I added mud flaps to the front and rear wheels. My main concern is gravel and crap getting kicked up and destroying the plumbing, wiring, etc under the coach. Also sand blasting (gravel blasting) the door panels behind the front wheels.

I'll be traveling on about 800 miles of gravel road in the next few months (Northern Alaska) and this is sort of preventative measure.

There is brace behind the rear wheel that supports the coach. We beefed that up and used that for the rear mount.

While doing this we broke the air lines for the air bags. Not a big deal, the air lines were very brittle, broke easily, and they really needed to be replaced anyway. Also replaced the fittings that went into the airbags.

The front flaps were screwed into the fender and inside skirt. We also welded a tube brace to the frame to help add support for the flap.

While we had the front wheels off, we replaced that very hard to get at fuel filter.

To protect your Pride & Joy on your expedition, you might try some of this. It's supposed to remove with a pressure washer.

Thanks. I'm also looking around for screens for the front (rock screens for the grill/lights)

Haven't noticed a car around here with them for years, but I used to see the screen-door like mesh screens across the front grill and lights. Most of the bugs seem to have disappeared. Can't remember the last time 9years ago) I really had to seriously scrub bugs off my windshield. The birds must be getting hungry.

Are you looking for a rectangular version of this?

Yes, I would actually like something that goes across the entire front end.

Depends on cost. No need protecting a $10 bulb with a $50 screen.

I love spending other people's money.
