You wheel a rig?
You should have mudflaps.
Public perception will not change until we help change it.

Washing your rig asap before city driving and putting flaps on promotes a responsible image.

Even i as a jeeper HATE seeing dirty mud filled rigs and big rigs with no flpas. i know they are the cause of my cracked windshield. They also cause me grief when i am on my motor cycle.

Yeah, i know...18 wheelers,etc spray gravel but guess what?
18 wheelers are not BANNED from OHV areas.

Put em on, wash your rig and maybe there will be trails left to be saved.
And yes, they make your rig look hideous :)

well i picked up some cheap flaps from autovalue the other day, but after putting them up against the iroks, they barely cover the tread (Immortal had a good laugh at this)

so i think i'm going with dually flaps.  fawk it

Just made a set of mudflaps last Sunday.  I used a piece of rubber flooring from PA, rivited to a piece of metal flat stock ,secured with removable bolts to the bumper.  Nice and legal.

Total cost was around 10 bucks.

From the chatter around the Jeep club the PoPo tend to zero in on no mudflaps more than other minor infractions.

total cost was about $30... $25 for the right sized flaps, and $5 for the tubing. On and off in about 3 seconds... 2.5 on, 0.5 off.

drop a coin down the side of the flare.... if it hits the tire the flare is too small.
with the flaps... they need to cover the whole width of the tire. just ask waytec... the po-po took a straight edge to his.

buy the material, and the right sized flaps, then come on out. Saturday is good for me.
