I have found that when you own two lethargic,
diesel Land Cruisers, folks have a tendency to think that this bumper sticker is a lie.
I want that bumper sticker!
I can't imagine why...
Made my own, and yes considered whether the heat may be trapped, who knows, .?? Can always remove , These are my second attempt at making these flaps, as my first attempt the rubber was too flimsy and ripped off at the plugs, the new rubber a bit thicker and less susceptible to velocity , that's " landcruiser velocity" of course

There were bits and pieces of my apron still present so I assume it simply deteriorated. Unlike Ford and Chevrolet, who have a mesh product impregnated into their aprons, Toyota's version is very flimsy. Heat removal really isn't an issue.
My main desire is to keep excess mud and water off of the turbo which is mounted fairly low in the engine bay.

I believe that's the first time I have ever seen "Toyota" and "velocity" used in the same sentence.
"Slowly gathering momentum" might have been more appropriate.
I am shocked that you would use "Toyota" and "flimsy" in the same sentence - or paragraph, for that matter. They have flimsy bits, of course, but my sense is we just don't talk about it publicly
To clarify, it was my own design fault when creating the the 1st set of rubber curtains, it was I who failed the cruiser by fitting flimsy workmanship, and it was not the cruiser that failed.I am shocked that you would use "Toyota" and "flimsy" in the same sentence - or paragraph, for that matter.

The cruiser did exactly what it's designed to do and be " heavy duty ", it was my creation that was only light duty, and the cruiser removed it under own steam.

Every time I try to improve my Cruiser (with my own hands), I seem to dilute Mr. Toyota's original work
My comment was on Charles' post, not the wonder of Landcruisers.....
I understand the concept, but I don't have any street creds to improve.View attachment 1029982 Sorry, I just was trying to increase my street creds.
