statikuz Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Yeah, you'd think it'd be really simple, just pop the new ones in... but it's not so much working out that way for me. Has anyone else installed the Performance Accessories gap guards [from AC]? They just seem to be too big, and not entirely the right shape. I'm doing the passenger side one now, and the top edge lines up pretty decently, but the bottom is taking some serious tweaking/cutting/etc. Anyone have any experience with this?

MatterHorn Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 yeah ... they suck in general ... just cut a little at a time, and be patient ... those things serious suck a$$, but look good if you take the time with em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I made mine from a set of $7 mud flaps and some self-tapping screws. How much did you pay for yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikuz Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 A whole lot more than that. =) I considered getting some cheapo rubber /whatever material and cutting out my own, then popping 'em in with those plastic clippies. Woulda worked just fine but I thought "NOOO, If I get these, they'll be just the right shape and they'll have the holes in the right places, they'll be a SNAP to install!" Right.

JonesyUSN Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 what is a gap guard.. obviously it guards some gap... but where is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikuz Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 When you lift your body, there's a 3" gap between the body and the frame, gap guards are sheets of rubberish polyurethane stuff that covers up these gaps; mostly for appearance, but in the front it really helps out in keeping mud/water out of your engine compartment [at least from coming in through the wheel wells].

Guest '95pathyXE Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 thanx for the advice about the gap guards , i guess i won't bother getting a set when i order my lift. i'll just save myself some cash and make my own, i got plenty of rubber from tractor tire tubes laying around that should work, right?

EvilLex03 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Any other brand make them besides AC ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikuz Posted August 25, 2004 Author Share Posted August 25, 2004 Nah, AC doesn't actually make them anyway. They're Performance Accessories brand, the same people that make the actual body lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
