Well guys , had to drive to Colorado to get those pics of RDRC's P500

RDRC, what type of rubber mat you used? Brand, store where you bought it? I might use this material for rear mud flaps.

@RDRC You did a really nice job on those! Almost looks factory! I too would like to know what kind of mat you used.

Bought this stuff at a True Value store in Florence. It is 3/16" thick, comes on a roll 4 ft wide and is sold by the foot. Don't know the brand but it is often used on the inside walls of horse trailers. Tough stuff.

Looks indeed very good, now I like his fenders more then mine , although both functional , but the extra flexibility of this material makes me think to redo them so I can squeeze into 55" trail gates without ripping my plastic fenders.

Anyone else wants to improve fenders and may be make them expandable into wings ??? I think next project will be not modifying air/fuel intake to boost HP but weld some jet engines and wings , I think I will need jak9922 to help with shocks modification

This is concept picture to draw ideas

Few more pics of RDRC of what mess he was dealing with prior fenders.

I had same issues right off with ITP wheel with 5+2 offset and wider tires.

Closest material I could find online was here: Manufacturer & Distributor of Ranch, Farm & Pet Products | Miller Manufacturing but I wasn't sure if 1/8" thick would be adequate.

I really like the rubber mat.. I personally would want something with give to it. Do you notice it staying rather ridged or wilting in the heat and sun?

 

[RDRC]

This stuff will definitely not wilt in the heat. It takes some pressure to get it to flex. Can't be re-molded with heat. It will flex but I doubt that it could be ripped from the u-bolts attaching it to the frame.

Miller-mfg.com Check Plate Roll Flooring - RMDIA380 This might work if you can find it sold by the foot or a smaller amount.

Wonder if MudBusters came up with anything for us????

Hey guys! We're still working on the prototypes, but our goal is to have them ready for production by Halloween. We've had to contract a couple local companies to make brackets and spacers, so we're stuck until we take delivery of them. I really dig this machine and I'll be sad to see it leave when we're done with it!
