I've been selling this low cost alternative to the disc brake dust shields for a couple of years now, mostly wholesale to several of the cruiser shops, but, largely as a function of being a one-man show, basically forgot to promote them MYSELF!!!

Least there be any doubt about where they come from, I had the newest batch monogrammed!

$21 for the pair, $12 to ship in the U.S.

Add a dollar for paypal.

Minimum order requirements apply.

Thanks for supporting a MUD vendor.

Is it "better" to run without a dust shield?

I'm always up for a cool upgrade!

From what I've been told, they're a good way to catch rocks and debris when off-roading.

I've gotten lots of rocks and twigs and stuff stuck in between my dust shields and rotors. i hate that squealing sound when that happens. a couple of the rocks have gouged the rotors. I'll be getting a pair as soon as i'm ready to rebuild my knuckles.

I'm about to do my front end, so I'm interested. Are there downsides to eliminating the backing plates? Toyota must have put them there for a reason, right?

i've installed quite a few of these and they work great. i always keep a few sets on hand for jobs at the shop. good stuff!

upside: no chance of bending a backing plate by hitting a rock and having to listen to it squeal itself to death. also the chances of debris getting caught in the knuckle or behind the backing plate are pretty much eliminated.

downside, no air being diverted to the rotor like the later backing plates do so the brakes and and will run a little hotter. but that all has to do with vehicle speed. also, you end up loosing the ability to run the oem hard brake line from the caliper to the backing plate brake line junction block. so you'll have to run new longer flexible brake lines from the caliper directly to the hard line on the front axle housing.

I can't get used to the apparant fact that I see the link clearly with an iPhone , but androids don't.
