Inigo Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I've got a set taking up space in my garage that I never got around to fitting. Idea seems sound, although they might restrict articulation a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigi_H Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I have them lying in my garage as well since a few months. Did not find time to mount them. But I had a test and found out, that it is really hard to put them to the most upper point in the wheel housing. Next test (when it is warmer) will be with a bottle jack and a lot of wooden boards in the right size to press it up. No chance without a bottle jack, when you do not want to cut the seals on the side. Everything has to be greased very well, otherwise they won't slide in position They are made from thin sheets, so they can be made fitting with a auxilliary tank and a tool box too I think. Got both too. I put a new chassis in my car and the Lokari protect especially the places, where my old chassis and the crossmember under the rear seat have been rotten, where the rear wheel throws all the mud. The sloping plates on the wheel arch were also rotten. That will be avoided by the inner wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Plastic truck mudguards are cheap, easily cut, and indestructible. That said I really don't see a major issue, if your chassis is kept in good condition (EG no bare metal and not caked in crud) you shouldn't need any of this junk.

Sigi_H Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 In my eyes, they are important. They can save you a lot of work keeping all the places and pockets there mudfree. This is , what is going to happen: downside: upside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
