Does putting a flap on the front of your bogger really help anything ??? I see some with them I some without I am just carrious I put one on the front of my bronco but was wondering what you guys think.
Do you run one ??? yes / no / used to & why ???
my engine use to get real dirty then i put mine on it helped soom but not all but itll be on the new truck cuts down on the water splasin on the engine
I don't run one, several people in our club do however..
the theory is that:
1. it cuts down on splash into the engine compartment
2. it acts as a ski or deflector, it prevents (to a certain extent) the pig (diff) from "diggin in"
also may help in preventing tie rod/cross over bend which is common on stock Chevy tie rods.
I run one it cut the splash on the motor in 1/2 or better I will run one forever! best idea I have used
i run one, looks kinda goofy but my truck can be completely covered in mud and
the motor will be almost spotless, but i also did a good job on wheel well guards as well.
i put a pice of plastic bed liner on mine from teh rad suport down to the front cross over and it seemes to cut the mud in the engin bay in 1/2
Used to. Worked for me. But only until it got deeper than the motor anyway! loll
I run one, it does look kinda goofy and only helps to a point.
I have the engine compartment sealed off pretty good , Rad is in the bed only problem is the valve covers on the motor are the same hieght as the tires, so if the tires are under water so is the motor.
44's 5" body lift-lots of fender triming.
i dont runn one and never will....they look dumb and my truck will have a fully inclosed engine bay.....i have herd they get you stuck more if anything they are point less

just dont see how
i use rubber roofing for all both wheel wells and the bottem off rad to oil filter block the motor not the steering stuff i dont care for the look of the rug drapped down from the front plus by blocking all air you force the rad to kool more you should always use a fan shoud to direct it
iv never run one and never will i box every thing in fender wells and under the engine my stay realy clean
ive ran one...i would run one on the jeep but the bottom of the jeep is totally covered with rubber mats...same thing i guess as a flap...keeps water and mud out
Ive ran one, it helped greatly. now Im going to enclose the engine bay ==np
just think of it as your truck licking mother earth and yes the tongue works if it is long and wide enough should be from frame to frame and no more the eight inch's from the ground
im thinking it depends on the truck im putting one on mine to be on the safe side (someday lol) but my tires hang out pretty much passed my wheelwells that my motor hardly gets anything on it usually go's up n out
