And as for mates - I drive a Daihatsu, that scares away any potential mates straight away....... they all spot that there's something deeply wrong immediately.

Still perhaps one more misfit over there won't really matter.

Naw sorry to burst ya bubble MM .. but we's are outcasts over here too

sorta like BLACK SHEEPIES!!

not quite a weathershield but i found these wind deflectors on ebay UK

sorry about the super delay im finally done with all my uni exams :S
well i had a reply and the only place that stocks the weathershields is the ARB in Townsville, and guess what they also have none in stock until May. Unless there is a 'big' order they wont ship any over. Also the cost is $75
I replied asking how 'big' must the order be for them to ship some over.

That's a bit odd - if Townsville can get them then you would think other ARB's even the Melbourne head office would be able to get them.

75$ doesn't sound too bad as I'm pretty much over having lumps of mud coming through he window..... although I'm slowly getting trained to close the window for awhile when I speed up a bit.

Its amazing how the Mouse can manage to get mud on the roof from almost anywhere.

Still makes me look like I've been trying hard even on easy trips

When I checked with suppliers a while back they said give them a list of how many and they'd get them with their next shipment.
It sounded like you guys had it sorted, so I sort of forgot about it. $75 plus delivery is the max they should cost.

So - can i read between the lines Ripper... can you supply if we can get our act together ?

i for one is interested

i for two is interested

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
I'll ring the supplier again tomorrow and see if they can get three in.
Or do some of you want passenger side ones too ?

Whats a passenger?... just the me side.

did anything ever eventuate from this?

I would like to get them as well. Did you guys find a place we can buy them from?

AFAIK nothing happened - I'd still take a drivers side one.

They're a mixed blessing MM - the mud that comes off the front hits the weathershield and stops but the mud that comes forward off the back tyres now hits the shield and lands all over the dash.

Just a thought.

I used to run them on my hiluxes but gave up on them.

Steve.

Yes I can see how that could happen Steve.... since fitting the sliders the situation has much improved.

The main problem is ( was ) that the front flares taper to the rear leaving a substantial portion of the tyre uncovered - ready and capable of slinging mud. The rear flares are much more "slab" sided and dont leave anywhere near as much tyre uncovered.

As the front flares are headed for the bin its no longer quite so important. The Jeep flares cover more effectively and more importantly are significantly longer allowing the guards to be cut whilst still covering the Swampers.

Now all I have to do is get on and do it, I've got the flares and new guards ( my little sleep didn't do the old ones much good ) - a bit less pondering required !

Just too much to do and too little time.

Might be a good thing that you found that Chugga.

The supplier I found was going to ring me to let me know when they'd be available.
They never got back to me and I forgot about it. I rang them today but it doesn't sound good.
They're not sure they'll be getting any more stock from that manufacturer.
The boss is away till Friday, so I'll find out for sure then.

I'll let you know what they tell me Friday.

I rang the supplier back this arvo and they've decided not to import anything more from that manufacturer in the foreseeable future.
Guess that's why they never got back to me about when the next shipment was due.

Did you have any luck with the link i posted?

I tired to email them for a postage cost but with no luck.......

what did it cost you?

Seeing as they are down my way I'll give them a call next week. I'm a bit skeptical - they probably just resell so might be same problem but its worth a call.

I provided a supplier, it seems that even with the still favorable exchange rate, no one really wants sheilds. tsk tsk.
