gathering interest... not for sale...
I am thinking about ordering the AC 4x4 body lift guards, they will run me about $100 shipped.. What I am thinking about doing is going to Home Depot and getting some rubber and doing a trace of them and sell them to offset the expensive cost.. I was thinking about selling them for $20-$25 + shipping depending on how much the materials cost.. I just dont want to do that if I have no chance of selling them, because I cant see paying $100 shipped for a set of lap guards but I would feel good about spending say $35 total shipped to my door step...

The lift Lips work well, but, they are NOT a good fit.

The holes are mostly in the wrong places, and the coverage is 90% rather than 100%, etc...in short...they are close to, but not exactly like, you want them to be shaped like.

On the plus side, they are very thick, heavy duty plastic...sturdy...and can be jury rigged to cover as needed, mostly.

I would recommend that if you wanted to go through all that trouble to measure and cut...start from scratch, and make them actually fit right.

:D

They are about the thickness of commercial truck mud flaps if you are looking for a sheet of starting material.

Thanks for the pointers TJ!! That sounds like a good idea.. I was going to do that for the front and just remove mine and extend them 2" down and make a template, the rears I am more worried about a custom design... Also for the rears are new holes to be drilled because I see no holes to be used as top mounts...

Then once I got them perfect take pics, make templates and start up my BL Liner business hahah :)

I would be willing to even just sell my templates for a couple bucks via PDF format and like $5 in a paper format mailed.. I am excited now!!!
