wheel well help.

Postby Redbull(Ranger) » Fri Nov 26, 2010 4:56 pm

My front wheel wells are gettin torn apart and let in alot of crud in my engine area. last couple days i went wheelin in the snow and went in some deep snow like 7in. And i stopped and checked my engine and the entire engine was covered in snow and packed . it all melted sooner or later and it was fine but i would like to know if there is anything i can do to fix wheel wells? or if it actually is bad for my trucks engine. :?:

It isn't great for the alternator and the belt.

We don't have any inner fender liners on the race Ranger and it hasn't really been a problem

But automatic replacement wont get you home out on the trail, dunes or the street. Just saying..... Yes, We at RGR have only had 1 or 2 that we've had to replace during a race and I can tell you that you wont see near what we see when racing. Silt is the DEBIL! :twisted:

If they're broken, try to find some at Pasco Auto Wrecking.

I am not familiar with them. What material are they made of? If they are ABS plastic, you can epoxy them. But a couple tubes of epoxy will probably cost you more than parts from the wrecking yard.
