The standard plastic guards do not cover everything unfortunately and I've been thinking of throwing in some extra clark rubber pieces to prevent mud/dirt getting into the engine bay, anyone done this before? Photos?

Considering all of my guards have ripped off, this is one job I need to do. Is there any grade of rubber that is better than another??04 GXL - Red Centa dual battery, Alloy B/bar, BFG AT's, Rhino Rack commercial bars x 3, GME TX3540, TJM roof cage, Outback Ideas recovery points, LHS rear drawer, 2" Dobinsons/Bilstein lift, ARB CKMA12 air compressor, CoilRite airbags, ARB 2.5m awning, MCC Dual Wheel Carrier, Eagle Eye headlights with 55w hid lo beam.

Front Inner Guard Liners
Hello,
This is my first post here so please be patient with me
We bought our very first 2003 Prado GXL last week and as part of the RWC the mechanic pointed out both front inner guard liners are missing on the car.
My understanding is that those inner guard liners don't really have much of a function except maybe catching the odd rock or similar from hitting the engine block from below.
I read somewhere that they might also protect the air inlet from taking in water when driving in really wet conditions. I believe a snorkel was suggested as better alternative to purchasing those liners.
So I guess my question is whether I really need to spend the $300 I got quoted for two pieces of expensive plastic.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Mike

Fantastic timmy! Excactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
I searched the forum but did not think of searching for "plastic skirt"
That's what it looks like just to confirm we mean the same thing.
