I Put a set of oem on mine not just thrilled , they are better than with out ! When you turn after going through mud or hammer it your still gonna get mud up the arm and occasionally a spot or two in the face and on windshield! Dont know if they are worth the coin!
I really like that belting in front of the rear wheels. I think it would work good to extend the flares out in front of the door. I think once my 28's go on I am really going to have a mud slinging problem.
the belting I used came from a local sawmill,you can get from 4'' wide to over 4' wide,it is used for sawdust conveyors etc.the real old tractors used it for a drive belt
You can buy 4" rubber belt by the foot at farm supply stores like TRACTOR SUPPLY. Ask for baler belting. it is what they use inside the balers that makes the big round bales to wrap them tight before they tie them off. At our local store they have a bulk roll that you can buy however much you need. Here is an online link where you can buy various length and width combinations.
I agree, however there is a difference between hunting and trail riding.
While hunting, I do not prefer having to dodge mud holes and drive slower to avoid mud slinging all over me, my gear, my bags, etc.
When trail riding, I could really care less.
the wolverine is a mudslinger,but at least it has panels in front of the back tires unlike my polaris that through mud all over the fuel tanks,batteries,and front headlights.
You know, UHMW bends when you heat it and works great for fender flares. If you were to use a piece like shown in the image below, except wrapping it all the way around the inside of the fender and outward a bit further, your mud slinging would be greatly reduced. UHMW comes in a ton of different colors.
the reason I use belting is that it doesn't break on impact.
