custom A-arm guards in the works

[blasterfied]

I had plans of painting my A-arms. I am using Dupli-color engine paint with ceramic. I have used it many times in the past, and it holds up great.

The area I ride has tall grass and it beats the A-arms up pretty quick. So I'm in the process of making a stainless steel guard that will attach to the front section of the lower A-arm.

Here are some progress pictures, more to come

I welded 1/4" nuts to each A-arm to attach. Nothing special....10ga stainless.

Hopefully it works out like I have planned.

Even though this thread seems dead, just an update. A-arms are painted and drying over night, and reinstalling tomorrow. I will post pics following the install

No Awk,

When I took the a-arms off, the only area that was warn down to bare steel, was the front bottom section of the lower A-arms. So I made the "guards" covering that section only.

Where I ride, it would have been a waste of time to paint the a arms, and they were looking rough..now my a arms don't look like sh *t anymore and the paint will last longer, done deal........
