- How To Make Custom Inner Fender Splash Guards!
In this video I replace my worn out inner fender well splash and dust guards, on my 1995 GMC Suburban, with a custom set made by myself. I was able to source some sheet rubber material and use the original splash guards as a template. Then I just cut out the new splash guards with a set of sharp scissors and used a leather hole punch for the holes.

I found a company that makes a complete kit for this if you'd rather not worry about making a set: www.rubbertherightway.com/199...

I watch a lot of videos on CZcams. You do an amazing job with doin the at home stuff and being focused on detail. Thank you. I just always wander why people put a thumbs down. It looks great and you are showing the easement of dyi. Again awesome job and love the truck/suv
Great job, Jimmy. You inspired me to change out all weatherstripping,too. What an improvement. My barn doors no longer shake!
those splash guards look really great. that is an amazing tip
Honestly that looks amazing. Feels good to do things like this that most people don't care about
Stumbled onto this one totally by accident. Complete coincidence, but about the time this video was made I had already figured out I was going to replace missing and destroyed fenderwell liners the exact same way! I hadn't gotten around to sourcing the sheet rubber yet but I was wondering whether or not this would actually work. I guess I can go ahead and add the job to my ongoing list of automotive chores. :) Thanks for posting!
That's very clever. I have one that is ripped nearly in half and dangling. I'd never even thought to remake some.
Good on you.
GREAT IDEA!!!!!!!!!! I’VE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOREVER!!!! THANX SO MUCH!!!
Awesome idea man. Replacing the struts on my 94 Suburban today, so I will be adding that to my to do list also. Mine are pretty well wrecked.
I like how you focus on details. Good job 👍🏻
Yeah I made pretty thick guards about 3 yrs ago I still have them unused
Makes you feel good to DIY.
I used inner tire tube for making them 👍🏼. Thank you for this great video.
Where did you get the sheet rubber and what thickness is it?
Yeah, I'm missing one on the passing side. After a couple of trips to the shop these RIP. Thanks for a good simple video.
Your holding up to a great standard that's what I like. Now I have a new project for my 1997 GMC Sierra. 😋😊😎😁
Haha. Thanks! I hope these things last especially being near the exhaust manifolds... 😨
Love your videos Jimmy, I have a 2004 Suburban and you have help me with a lot of great tips.....
I always keep a silver and a black Sharpie in my tool box for marking. Silver one works great on black rubber.
Excellent Job and it saved $
Another way to make hole is a open hole punch chisel style punch which can make bigger holes if required then a leather punch but for your application the leather hole punch worked perfect
As for colour matching or custom colours you can get rubber paint which needs a special primer or fabric dye or paint which I used to use in the Body shop I owned
Your video are simple straight to the point and you even describe how you found the product instead of saying it's in the link below awesome narratives and descriptions I would wish that more people who make CZcams videos follow your style and technique keep up the great work even Old pros enjoy seeing your enthusiasm in maintaining vehicles which too many people are to do or cannot afford it because of rising cost at shops
Your K.I.S.S. method is a 10 🌟 program
Thank you for the great comment!! I love stuff like this It helps everyone...
I went to my local pick and pull and pay salvage yard and purchased a large sheet of car trunk liner material off an old car. I did the same thing you did and so far its working well. Paid $5.00 for the whole trunk sheet. Once it wears out, I'll be heading back to the salvage yard to get me another piece. Seems durable enough.
Watching you cut out the outlines for the new one was very satisfying
Haha I know.. for me too while I was watching back..
Geez you keep this up, you're going to shame me into actually fixing my 95 burb...
Looks awesome, and thanks for the link to the kit.
Jimmy, what about posting the source where you got your material for those who want to do the same, TY
Awesome! My Suburban's are looking like your old ones, and my K1500 pickup is missing them all together.
That turned out sweet!!!
Really looks professional. If you wanted to, you could customize with letters and/or paint.
I think this is my weekend project now
You would be the guy to make custom inner fender well splash guard😂 not a knock, I’m just impressed with your detail!
Nice job, I just did the same thing to my 03
Another outstanding video. the timing of your video was perfect! I just installed new injectors and glowplugs---over two weekends. I also had to reinstall a new wiring harness on passenger side for glow plugs. The old splash guards were toast. Rather than pay $50 for a replacement ebay set--I did my own. So far seem perfect---and just in time for our first big snow fall....lol
Nice job. Leaving the splash-guard long looks like it might provide better coverage and help keep the engine bay a little cleaner.
The only question I would have is about heat and fire resistance difference between the OEM and DIY material. Since you have the originals and leftover from the job, it might be worth doing a test to make sure a surprise fire doesn't popup in your future.
I'd be interested in that info myself before making my own as well.
I love how your truck looks. I’ve been watching since you first got the truck. I will look around to see where I can buy a rubber sheet to replace mine in my 97 Tahoe. Truck looks awesome with those tires too. 👍🏻
Thanks man!!
Always great ideas man love the channel
Great video ! Am going to do my rig !
Awesome job Jimmy
I dig 'em! Looks great! Looks like you could possibly use some sway bar bushings. I recently did mine in my Stepside with some from Energy Suspension. They didn't have a part number specifically for mine, but I was able to measure the bar and find some that way.
Thanks!
Awesome.. looks better than the original.
Really nice Jimmy 👍
Thanks for the great idea Jimmy! I really need to replace mine. On my 1990 Silverado after almost 700k miles the small front drivers side is gone and the other 3 are pretty ragged.
if you're talking about the small piece that protects the front area of the bumper I think there is only one installed on the passenger side from the factory...
I got mine from "LNC" Trk. Parts .com
@@1RoadGarage good to know
@@TOMAS-lh4er funny I never thought to look for them there, I usually have one of their catalogs around. Thanks for the tip👍
Very interesting videos you make ,thanks for your videos .
Good job!
Thanks for the great idea. rob
Nice job Jim Bob...
Great job. Where did you get that rubber material from
I need to do this exact same thing
Better than the original.👌👍
What kind of rubber did you use?
Looks great, now hit that frame rail w some Rust-Oleum.
I believe the original splash guard material is used for fire proofing so it does not catch on fire. You should try to burn the original one and try to burn the new ones see which one holds the flame.
Good idea. I was a little bit worried due to the proximity to the exhaust manifold but really does it get that hot??!!
IT is different ! I got mine online and they were made out of the original material !
@@1RoadGarage Don't think so but I believe that is why they used that material. Flame test ! Lol
Where did you get the new material?????
Excellent...
Do you have a link to buy the rubber skirt material?
Looks amazing. What is the approximate length of the splash guard.
Where did u buy the big Piece of rubber to cut for the liner i want to make my own as well for my f150
Same here where can I buy?
Looking to order a rubber sheet. What is the thickness you purchased?
where can I buy that rubber mat for this?
HI ! " FYI " I bought the exact replacement splash guards for my 1993 Siera from "LNC" truck parts . com !! AND!! Jimmy, there are 2 other smaller guards that go up in the fender area besides that big one . in case someone can't make their own like you are . That company , Jimmy ,has a catalog that you really should get !! they have one that covers only that years of trucks 88 to 98 ! chevy . the number of parts is impressive , P.S. If anyone does get the catalog to order those guards , be sure you order the right ones for the "Gross weight " on 3/4 ton trks. The big shield s are $16.95 ea. !
Can we use tube used in tyres ?
Does the new rubber hold its shape or warp with heat and age?
wonderful
How thick is the new sheet of rubber you used???
What if you don’t have the old ones for a pattern??
You can go to lmc truck and get those for 11 to 20 dollArs a piece and it comes with new clips
looking to make my own, factory replacement cost way to much, plus its missing, which is not good for all the rain we been having ,water getting on the belt and wires, and everything else.
I just ordered some from LMC Truck. $10 each.
you got a website so I can order it?
@@JonathanDooly LMC Truck.
Hey Jimmy I have a 99 Yukon that really needs shocks but I cannot decide what kind to get. Do you have any suggestions?
I always go to Bilstein. They are the factory standard for many manufacturers. Bilstein 4600 (yellow and blue)
Good job . . . now you can do mine ( lol )

What thickness and durometer did you use for this?
Nice !!
What is size of sheet?
1Road. Are you in the Spokane, was area?
tkx jimmmmmmy saved me some money 💰-don’t get sneeeeeeezed on
Jim, I asked you on the motorkote video if you are still happy with it's performance, but I guess you never answered me. I have heard some rumors that it causes sludge to develope in the engine. So, I am looking for your expert opinion since it's been some time now since you have added it into your engine. Do you still have a favorable opinion of the use of motorkote in the engine? Thanks!! Mike Valone
I can't really comment on that. I haven't been using it all that much. Not because I don't like it or anything like that I still think it's amazing (based off what I've seen online) but more so just because I lazily have not repurchased it in a while. I would watch the videos from Project Farm. when I did buy a few bottles I did put it in everywhere from my power steering to my oil crankcase and also my gas tank. In my limited use I've had no problems whatsoever. Hope that helps!
I missed that one !! Id like to know also .
Will this stuff make good mud flaps?
Exactly what I was thinking!!??
JimmyFix. 👌
So glad you didn't paint them red like in the thumbnail. LoL
Should’ve actually made the colors like in the thumbnail
I was thinking about it. They do sell red rubber I believe.
1ROAD that would’ve been nice but still love the vids man 💪🏾
GREAT idea & work, BUT, won't you or will you have to remake them a little longer when you put one of those ugly lift kits on??
@Island Mike Correct, only skimmed over it to see the part of interest to me, don't plan on altering ANY suspension characteristic that may create a UNSAFE vehicle or situation for my family or others.
my cars slash guards ripped off from a pothole or accident
The I paid 20 bucks for it reminds me of the lawn mower incident. Man forced to eat beard
?
Look up man eats beard on CZcams
The original material is fire retardant. Your new material is NOT.
Everyone should be aware of this fact.
you talk too much
