Hey guys i decided i was just not going to spend money on a couple of rubber pieces from 4 wheel parts and went on the hunt for alternatives..after an unsuccessful walk through home depot on a search for possible material to use i stopped by my cousins house to hang out for a while. When i told him what i was trying to do he told me he had a large piece of heavy duty rubber from a farm equipment combine.It turned out to be perfect.We measured,cut out what we needed,washed them off and slapped those baby's on there..what was my total cost?? about 10.00 and thats from taking my cuz out to eat for saving me some $$$ haha.. here is a link to some pics,let me know what ya think..sorry they aren't great,it was kind of dark when we finished,ill take some better ones later on with a closer views...

They look good man How did you attach them?

 

thanks..just some self tapping screws and washers..wanted to bold them on but didnt have any at the time..

 

Good job! I too have been looking for material to use, but have been unsuccessful. I had an old bed mat that I was going to use, but the material was just too heavy. I even thought about buying one of those large black trash cans and just cutting strips out of it. lol

 

thanks..and i totally hear you on the material..man its crazy how something so simple is that hard to find..i was thiiiis close from walking out of home depot with a 20.00 commercial floor mat..and i think it may have worked too..haha.. i dont know how a combine piece of rubber ended up at my cousins house but im sure glad it did

 

Nice idea man! Looks good!

I've seen people around here take those really thick rubber dinner mats you can get at like Walmart for a few dollars and use those too.

 

thanks man,yeah its amazing with a little initiative and not wanting to spend 100 will do haha..

 

Looks awesome man

 

Looks pretty cool

Is there a purpose other than the looks for doing this? Maybe prevent mud or something?

 

Thanks guys.. and @pocket,i just did it because it drove me crazy being able to see through the bottom of my bed..guess its just a matter of preference..i had it that way forever just couldn't bring myself to spend 100 on a set,finally made it a priority haha

 

Looks great Thanks for reply
