Sometimes known as 'Polybelt or Polysheet" But is it polyurethane or Polyethylene? I know its the same stuff Poly pipe is made out of. Its great for lining stock yard panels and stock crates and of course mudflapsOriginally Posted by Tombie

The main issue with the "home made" mudflaps are that a 90's rear mudflaps essentially form part of the vehicle's "look".
The are mounted on the rear cross member and sit flush with the rear panel. Even the slight melt caused by freeway speeds to the LHS one is very evident when you drive behind them.
No argument on the strength and suitability of the aftermarket products (conveyor, Poly E and U), but I for one don't want my daily drive (Puma 90) to look too industrial...
At $15.48 each for the fronts and $38.22 each for the rears (Genuine LRUK) from Devon 4x4, you are just back on LRA's $110 for one.
Shipping should be in the region of $45 to $55 and you've on your way, especially if you just buy 2 or 3 sets of rears as a group buy!

Too industrial??Hang on! are you sure we are talking about landrovers here? Last time I walked into the shed and looked at my 110 it screamed INDUSTRIAL!! I think they coined the term!!!
Hmm. I may have to check these swanky 90's out!

SupporterI have been looking for some to replace the ones on the camper trailer and found some pretty good looking ones at Super Cheap today. Quite neat heavy duty looking. There $30 a pair rounded up a few cents.

Ok left myself open for that one...!Too industrial??
Cheers Scott
Maybe I'm just snobby and like the Land Rover badges on my mudflaps!
Wouldn't mind the front ones as poly but the "proper" ones looks better on the back IMO.

SubscriberHaving suggested conveyor belt in an earlier post, it reminded me of a story that happened in the UK.. a good mate bolted two nice big pieces of conveyor belt to the back of his newly acquired Ser 3 SWB, and off we went on one of the many 'Green Laning' excursions from Ag College to get out of sitting thru a lecture about the ins and outs of differentiation, transposition, rah rah rah, (still have no idea what each is!!). Anyway, as he was running 600x16 pizza cutter Avon Rangemaster tires, he soon became bogged.. Me being me quickly spun my V8 powered Ser 1 around, attached my KERR rope and charged off in the opposite direction at warp speed. This worked so well that he came out of the hole at twice the speed he'd entered it, leaving both mudflaps in the hole, still attached to the outermost part of the rear xmember! The middle part didn't fare much better as it was now facing the sky! I learned several lessons that day. 1, check everything when using Kinetic Energy Rope Recovery ropes, inc xmembers. 2, Buy a longer rope... Well..... he was a big bloke and it hurt!!!
