Mudflaps ?
« on: May 28, 2009, 09:35:29 AM »
So I got pulled over yesterday between Airdrie and Balzac by a Peace Officer.
He told me that I need to put mudflaps on my Jeep.

I dont recall seeing any other lifted Jeeps with Mudflaps, unless I am blind  ;D

Any of you have Mudflps on ? If so what ones do you use and how did you attach them ?

Thanks


**EDIT** I guess I may have to order a pair of these:

Yes, I have removable ones . They are on an L shaped  bracket that drops through the point were my custom bumper mounts.  I will post a photo tonight if I get a chance.

A friend and I got pulled over near Cochrane for not having mudflaps (hes running Super Swamper 38's) and to add to the cops 'sunny disposition' he proceeded to show us the huge chip we put in his windshield  :-X

Now we have a cheepy pair of flaps we picked up for 25 bucks from Can-trash.
Only problem is they keep ripping off on the highway... ???
Pretty hard to attach them since we cut out the fenders to fit the tires.

I cant add flaps since I modded my rear bumper so it wouldnt fill up with mud.  I'll never go out on May long for this exact reason.

This is of topic but does anyone know why the sherrifs have hutterity vans and a RV'ish unit. The only thing that I've ever seen them do is write out tickets. They might as well be driving clown cars. oh I mean smart cars.

And I've got two mudflap tickets, and argued my way out of another, good thing I was pulled over right in front of a dealership, and was able to point out five new trucks rolling out of the lot that needed flaps just as much as I needed them.

I've had the soft style factory flaps front and rear since taking delivery. I've since gone to 31's and the rear flaps just clear the tire.  I've since added Warn 7" flares. I've been stopped in FIVE Checkstops here since Christmas day, two of which included complete walk-arounds of the vehicle. Never a word about the legality of my Jeep.

FIVE checskstops since Christmas day? You must be wearing a "You need to ticket me" hat.  ;D

Yes, very odd. I hadn't been through one in literally seven or eight years since one in Edmonton. They've been blitzing like crazy here. They sit (aside from the Christmas Day one) on Gaetz Avenue at the bottom of either North or South Hill, the last three down by the Ramada / Tim Hortons near the bus depot northbound at the bottom of the South Hill. You're committed to the hill down and walk right into their loving arms. As it splits to three lanes they angle pylons in the centre lane to make parking spaces to direct vehicles into. They have the medical trailer there and a row of tow trucks. I get directed into one of the spots every time. I think they assume I'm some young kid in a Jeep before they see me in the dark. They've checked paperwork every time and did the walk around twice. No trouble except time consuming.
