So, for my latest mod and homemade garage device for my Fj40, I decided that having stone guards on the front headlights and baja lights was out of balance with none on the rear. So's, I decided to make my own custom version using my patented Home Depot method becuase I could not find any for the light guards on an FJ (Many of you have read some of the mods I have done with a cookie pan and others with a few dollars in parts from home depot).
For this mod, I came across a 6" x 24" piece of mesh that is used as a Gutter Guard (so they call it) and cost me a whopping $1.49! I precisoin cut them long by several inches, notched out each corner, folded them over and press fit in.
The following animation tells the tale. In the end, I made each in about 10 minutes, used some black paint and viloa...... $1.49 (plus tax) custom stone guards!!!
thought they are pressure fit in (so I can take off easy for bulb access) as I cut them longer than needed and folded the excess in so it nearly fills the depth of current light guards, I have a simple system in mind to actually attach them, but I doubt they will fall out as is as they are pretty snug.
