MisterP,

I previously looked at that thread too. While cages are the better solution (yours looks great by the way) than mud flaps, constructing one is beyond my ability, tools, and what I have time for right now (even to hire out). I really like angerlo's idea of gluing two 1/2" thick mud flaps together to have 1" thickness for better results. And I may add to angerlo's idea and sandwich a piece of metal between them. I'll make that decision after I get the mud flaps and look them over. Even if I decide to build a cage later, having mud flaps installed in addition to the cage is just one more layer of protection for the plumbing as well as the mud, dirt, and stones. Perhaps the mud flaps is just phase one for me. It's better than nothing.
