For lack of a better description . . .
that's what's gone missing from my 4Runner. I was washing it last weekend when I noticed it's gone. No idea when or why it came off. Without it

all this stuff is exposed. Should I be concerned? Had I better find one to replace it?

 

Mine has been gone for a while, I wouldn't personally worry about it, but obviously more crap will get flung into your engine compartment.

 

Mine's been gone for a long time too. You'll just get a little more mud in there is all.

 

Well, if I can figure out what it's called and find one in a junk yard somewhere, I'll probably replace it. I just won't make it a priority.

 

Replace that before you wind up with a clump of mud in your starter like I did...

 

yea, starters don't like dirt much....

 

You can get one at a junkyard, or get some rubber sheeting at the local hardware store and make one or you can buy a set for all 4 wheels from Lift Lips (http://www.liftlips.com/).

 

Yeah, it's just a rubber sheet. Mine is ther, but doesn't want to stay in place very well.....

 

It sure makes it easier to change the filte ron my 22re with it gone. I stay away from mud anyway. Better cooling? who knows.

You should get some clear rubber/plastic like the stuff that hangs between the bucther and the rest of the grocery store. That way you could put colored LED's behind it. hahaha

 

On mine, I replaced the plastic push pins with riv-nuts crimped into the holes. Then I used brass screws in the threaded inserts. Makes for easy removal and they stay on very well.

 

(cant see pix-at work)
what side is it? i think i have the drivers side??? for an 87 p/u (also have the front valence )

 

It's the passenger side.

 

ill have a look tonight and verify what i have, it still has the part# on it

 

ive been missing my driver's side one since i got the truck and havent noticed any ill effects

 

i found mine hanging by a few clips the other day when i parked it for the week. ill fix that this coming weekend.

 

It's called a "mud skirt"... if you need the passenger and have a driver just put it on "inside out" it should fit pretty close... any piece of thick rubber would do the same thing though (you'd just have to cut it to size...

 

you can make your own, home depot sells this rubber carpet runner or carpet protector, not sure what they call it, but its only like $2 a foot, and cut it as long as you need it, thats what i used for the gap, works great.
