Lots of rtv lol

 

Yea. Now that would be worthless. Lol

 

But if you take them back all muddy and such with mud inside, no warranty. Ive tried, starters are the same way. Even the 200 dollar Napa alt. Was that way. I just took some sheilding from a cj I had and made a little deflector for mine, works good. My bumper skid also protects it.

 

I wonder how much airflow it needs?

 

Get rid of a/c and mount it up there, I use my a/c comp. For air or I would do that.

 

They get warm, thats why theres a fan, I wouldn't mount anything in front of it.

 

Im out of town right so I can't look myself but isn't there some place else? Id like to fix my ac or make it oba one of these days.

 

You could probably rig up something depending on your fab skills.

 

I got bored yesterday during lunch and made a bit of a mud shield in about 5 minutes... consisted of three pieces of aluminum bent up and riveted together and mounts where two existing splash guard holes exist. This should work for the few times a year we get mud here in AZ.

Well I hope it works anyways, lol... I think I've had to change my alternator at least once a year?!--- because it turns into a mud cake and dies a horible death >.>

 

Splash shields are perfect if never going through deeper mud. They do nothing for when you're submerged. I'm now on my 5th'or 6th alternator (I lost count already) but luckily I have a good relationship with the guys at the Advance near me. They don't even look at it, just swap it out under warranty. I make sure to remove the sticker with the part number on it, rinse it through the best that I can, clean the casing with brake cleaner and reapply the sticker. It's not 100% perfect but atleast it only looks like I went down a dusty road instead of a mud pit so they don't take a 2nd look. I tried a quick splash shield with a license plate that I saw another member do. Cool idea, cheap if you have them, no modification needed but again, if you're submerged, nothing will help.

 

my 99 XJ came from the factory with a shield, a large piece of rubber mat under the entire front engine, from frame rail to frame rail. It used those plastic "christmas tree" push-in retainers to hold it up...only lasted about 5 years before too many holes tore and it hung down, I ripped it out.

 

Apparently you can get them new too.
