After:

My cuts for the hose aren't the cleanest, but overall, pretty happy with them.

Picked up a set of ARK Splash Guards this week. These are pretty slick, simple to install and has more coverage. I did have to trim a tad for the BP-51 reservoir hose, but no big deal. These were about a wash price wise compared to replacing with OEM.

Curious why you went with ARK (which I haven't seen before so thanks!!) vs Rad Rubber Designs (80 SERIES LAND CRUISER – Rad Rubber Design – FJ Fender Flaps, Toyota Engine Splash Guards - https://radrubberdesign.com/product/80-series-landcruiser/)?

Mainly because they are local here in AZ. I would have been plenty happy with the Rad rubber, but these guys are right down the road

Noticing any change in engine operating temps with all of that sealed up?

Yup, in Maricopa (phoenix) and Pima county (tucson), but emissions test here are easy peasy. They check your obd2 port for codes, check your gas cap for leaks, and you're on your way.

Side note, I am pretty certain you met @ncavi10 at that last HIH event?

I don’t miss the PHX summers. Or winters. Or fall or spring. It’s always hot or cold. I do miss the women though . Much different than where I am now .

Anyway, back to your regularly Scheduled program.
