[oberon]

Check IRP they sell rubber sheets. Varying thicknesses...

[Rutless Tiida]

Need to get mud flaps my self.
Maybe we could come together an make it a mudflaps lime.

[madcoolieboy]

ha ha ha i don't have a problem wit dat.....lol Thanks Oberon. I'll check on it.would;ve rathered uretrhane or something stiff and light but say what.....

[Rutless Tiida]

^^ keep me informed. Time is kind of tight for the next 2 weeks but I might be able to meet up.
I am also looking to fix my inner fender shield and Wagon_r recommended

"go in the bamboo....buy some old rubber mats....and cut to suit.

...then go to the hardware, get some lockin nuts and bolts and fix up. " I don't know if this will work for mud flaps also.

[Cooper]

I think Wagon had some custom made for when he had the L200. Shoot him a PM....or he might just see this thread anyway.

[Rutless Tiida]

^Yeah that is what he said he did for his L200.

IRP Bought my rubber there, they have all sizes, wukin real good

[madcoolieboy]

niceeee..... go hadda check dem out. i wonder if they have white?? hmmmm.........

[Team Loco]

since my workers hate mudflaps, we got some conveyer belt material from TCL. works well, but i had to re-inforce the bracket that holds the rubber in place since the rubber is quite heavy. will check and see if i have a piece you can try

[speedaholic]

yeaa.. dat mudflaps lime sounding like a plan yes.... i checked out International Rubber products somtime ago.. they located on gaston street lange park.. they prices rell gud..

[madcoolieboy]

mudflap lime yes....i doh mind.. it sounding cool buh a pot hadda bubble an ah cooler hadda full!!!!!!

[speedaholic]

well i have a cooller, somdbudy hadda full it tho!! haha

[Rutless Tiida]

Hey if you guys willing to get the material I willing to fill the cooler.
It will have to be after next week though.

[speedaholic]

okay so i went IRP today.... i got some info on there stuff.. i checked out the 3/16 thick rubber sheet.. they sellin a piece 55" x 16" for $160.00.. which i fine is rell gud.. that meassurement was an average meassurement for my van.. the guards wud be 16" long an about 10-12" wide.. if u need longer u can get it.. the 3/16 rubber i think wud be just rite cuz its not to thin but not to thick and it shud be able handle the blowing wind while drivng..

[madcoolieboy]

well look ting dey! thanks alot SPEEDAHOLIC... yuh save me a junk ah time dey...just wanted to know.....what colors do they have?

[Rutless Tiida]

Hey guys I still need one piece for my inner fender shield. Do you think that that is a good thickness or it is to thick?

[madcoolieboy]

that should be good....i mean you done buying for mudflaps, might as well use the same material right through

[speedaholic]

they have it in black and white... but Black FTW! and for ur inner fender yea i guess it wud work.. cuz there will be some remaining after u cut 4 guards out of that piece...

[Rutless Tiida]

I will measure the inner fender shield tonight and calculate the minimum I will need.

[madcoolieboy]
