    Splish splash I wasn't taking a bath

    Any info out there in regards to preventing the splash over the bonnet and windscreen caused by water shooting forward from the front wheels?

    I have a ARB bullbar, which probably accentuates the problem with the high ramp angle, but is there an option out there to controll it a bit?

                    A Mate of myn (patrol) put mud flaps infront of the wheels with a chain holding them forward, it stopped more or less none of the water,
                    but in all cases don't have your sunroof open, kids will be upping you from the back cause they got wet!

                      Not so much a speed thing etc it just that I do alot of driving in and around Mine sites and any puddles are extreemly saline...Cant be good for the nooks and crannies and electical connections in the front area around the grill.
