Wyoming B.S. Thread

Seemed like none of the 3 or so versions that are sold had good reviews, people reporting between 1 and 5 years before they rip. It doesn’t look like any of them are reinforced (which I can understand, it’s more expensive and hard to cut)

 

Thanks!

Nice. Are you going to have any sheeting left over? I'd be happy to take it off your hands and leave some green in yours. I really only need enough for the right rear, OEM size; I still have my old one I can trace and create a replacement of...

Yeah, I saw those. A bunch of folks said they disintegrated within a year or two. There's also a set on amazon, but I have a hard time thinking that anything on amazon is really "great."

 

Well to be fair, I have no idea when I put the ones I have on Igor on. But they are doing fine. Has to have been at least 4-5 years at this point. Think I got them when I did the ADS shocks. Which was right before our trip in UT with Brent, Brett, and Heather where we did all the hiking and ruin site seeing.

 

I wont have much left over, I think it sizes nicely that both sides can be cut out of one 36”x36” sheet.
I’ll fit them tightly together and see how much is left, you’re welcome to it.

 

Isn't EDPM not great with hydrocarbons?

 

It's usually what most OEM rubber parts are jacketed with (radiator hoses, timing belts... etc)

 

Nice. Well that seems like it should last a while.

 

As a seal or something that has to contain oil/fuel, it’s not good as it will absorb and swell. But as long as your truck isn’t leaking oil like crazy all over the splash guards, should be fine.

 

Sounds good. Let me know even if you don't have much/enough, and I'll just order some and make my own.

 

I’ll make a template, I think @Digiratus wanted to do this as well.

 

March of 19'

 

Nice.

So yeah almost 5 years I'd say then.

 

I have those guards since '19 as well and they're holding up besides a few small splits around one or two of the push pins.

 

Yeah I think mine might be doing better than others because the ADS Piggy back mount holds up a huge section of it. So less stress on the other mounts?? Idk.

 

Looking forward to finishing this move and being in the Cowboy State full time.

 

Start with a quarter inch of bacon fat in the skillet.

 

I have some saved, I could try that next time. Haven't been to the store to get more potatoes and onions since the last experiment.

 

@Digiratus even though we hate that drive through SLC I guess I better get used to it as they are relocating the Arizona Coyote NHL team there, so I'll be seeing Canucks games there next season.

And I will admit, last time I was there in the AMG it wasn't so bad (besides it blowing up).

 

I really don't think it's that bad

 

Maybe my timing is just bad, but every time I drive that ~90 mile stretch between Ogden and Spanish Fork there is way too much traffic. Yes, at least it mostly keeps moving along. But I find it very stressful. Too much jockeying for position, darting in and out/changing lanes.

Most of that drive isn't bad if there is no headwind. I can see where that wouldn't be an issue with the AMG.
