here.

OK...before.....body to outside of tire greater than 1 inch....about 1 1/2'' or so...apparently as serious as a heart attack in Pennsylvania.....but I digress...



Bought me some ------------>>>>>>>>>>CONVEYOR BELT.....hahahahahah....from the Tractor Store at $2.79 / foot...bought 16 feet...so about $48 with tax.



to give me one additional inch of coverage....not complete coverage, but enough to keep me legal....hehehehehe

 

should hold up nicely to the weather.

want to put black RTV or something like that (maybe liquid nails, eh?) to take up some of the gapping above it and seal it up to keep crap from collecting.

also, going to trim it so it's not such an abrupt angle

 

Nice!!!
What happened to the garden edging??? I thought you were going with this???



The belt isn't bad though!! Nice mod!

 

too rigid for my liking...for the price, i would have, but i saw this stuff the other day and had an epiphany.

 

That'll do pig, that'll do.

Nice thinking. I think the conveyor belt material will hold up well. It looks like it covers the tread up though, just a little extra sidewall still hanging out. I would say problem solved. Got some diff breathers in yet?

 

no diff breathers.....

1 down, 3 to go

 

Looks good 92!

 

Well I guess this kinds sums is up...

WOOO HOOOOOOOO, i LOOOOOOOOVE TRACTOR PULLS! Wait, trim? OH, ok, nevermind, I got excited for a minute! lol.

LOOKS COOL, 92! I guess pretty soon they'll have regulations that make you have a silicone blast pack instead of air bags, ...you know, like in Demolition Man? hahahaha. Funny story though, ....When I was bout 25, I had that 70CST blazer and it had 35's sticking out, and one day, heading up the 395Hwy to Mammoth, my friend shouted, 'OUCHHHHHHHH, OMGOSH!', with other words of course! lol. Anyway, a piece of gravel had flung up and penetrated his arm while he was doing the "I can fly" thing out the window!!! ....Crap happens, eh?

Lookin good, 92! Really happy for ya....now to get mine RIGHT! lol

 

thanks guys.....it was bugging me real bad having those itsy bitsy tires on.....but more-so the idea of putting the big tires on and getting yanked again.

 

Can't see the pics?! STUPID GOVERMENT COMPUTERS!?

 

Are you gonna run those tires or the muds at RC Jerry? What was wrong with the muds again?

 

You gonna pul something like black silicone caulking along the line between the body and the belt?

I actually like the idea, if anything ever hits those "flares" at least you'll not have to replace them, or it'll be cheap to do so.

 

MUDS? WHAT MUDS? LOL......JERRY HAS MUDS? I wanna see, I wanna see!

 

2 of them are worn down, 2 have about 80% tread

 

that's too bad because in the one pic you can see my naked reflection.

hahahhaha

 

so here's the final word on the fender flares......


Look like hell, but do the job.

i measured and measured and marked etc......but i drilled the holes and then mounted them. if i were to do it again....and very likely i will, to make it look better....i would drill the holes when i had the material up against the area to accommodate for twisting etc....

on a scale of 1 to 10.....as far as how the finished product looks....i will give it a 4..........but i will give it a 10 for ingenuity , a 10 for it being easy and a 10 for doing the job it's intended to do.............. give me legal coverage.

 

Ah hell they look fine!!! I've seen worse.
