Kraton Dusty motor cover opinions

[Saltystevo]

I don't see to many people using them and curious as to why?
They seem like a great idea. My rig gets super nasty when I ran it the last few time in wet grass. It was loaded with mud, rocks and grass.
I'm also wondering if the dusty cover got muddy and I went to hose it off, would the water go through the cover and pull the mud in anyway?
Thanks for any opinions

I use one and have no complaints about its function. I will say though, it is expensive for what it is and I found the zipper useless and I just pull the velcro loose. I've only had it for a few months and it's holding up great so far. We'll see how it looks after a full season though...

Thanks Notoriousj I actually did follow your advice and bought some panty hose. Lol I didn't know what the hell to buy once I got in that section. Got some black XL
To try out. That goes under frame so I figured it wouldn't last

They actually do. The bottom might get chewed up a bit, but as long as they stay together, you're gold. I'm not trying to compete against $30 covers, but for a couple of bucks a pair for the cheap dollar store kind, they actually keep the insides nice and clean.

To make it work right, you have to pull the front tight before looping over the body mounts. They stretch, so when they start catching stuff under the chassis, they're going to want to pull back. When you get them on at the length you need, grab low near the front suspension arms and pull up. Then snip a little hole to hold it in place. It's not water proof, but it's splash proof. I've run them in the crappiest conditions, and the electronics have been kept clean. It's a trial kind of thing, so if it doesn't work perfect, it's a small investment.

For snow and mud you can always use a shower cap, just keep an eye on temps.

My brother was interested in getting the dusty while I was about to try the panty hose.
I told him about them... He Makes Me Laugh.

I have the dusty cover waiting to be installed when I get the truck back together. I figure the less dirt in moving components the better.

They're just very sheer and sexy dust covers. Btw, I chose black because they make it look slimmer ?

If I were a chic with a pink kraton I'd get the fishnets?

My rig is all apart for bearings and diff fluid change so I might have to buy myself some pantyhose. They're for my wife... I swear.

I tried finding panty hose at my DG and I couldn't find them.

I don't run my Talion without it. i'm sick of rock getting stuck on the spur gear and this solves it completely.
But i don't use it on a Typhon, where the body is more sealed and i don't have any issues with rocks.

Panty hose work. Maxi pad doesn't do a dam thing..... except maybe for a temp skid plate. But panty hose makes sense and cheap. When they start falling apart or stinkin, cheap and easy to replace. Also easy to cut off and no need to be gentle while replacing. This is solid advice and I'll be up-cycling the ones I have laying around.
