My stock mudflaps have taken a beating with bent bracketry and one mud flap getting ripped off. The other bent back and came down on a rock and got a hole punched in it by the tyre carrier. I decided to make some that were closer to the wheel instead of way at the back like all 2000 and 2001 models are. I also wanted them to easily come off before I hit the dirt so really these are just for the road and gravel and to cover any legal requirements since things are getting more regulated here in Australia.
Anyway, here they are. The bracketry may not look that thick but it's plenty strong enough even if I fold the mudflap back against the body, not that that will happen on the road though.
The mudflap is clamped between two plates with four bolts running through it.
And there is a bracket on the frame with an 'R' clip that gets pulled out to remove the mudflaps.
Here's whats left of the stock ones. Those brackets will get taken off, they were straight once!
Cheers
