what i would do is attach the mud flap to a piece of 1x1 square and weld a piece of square with a 1" i.d. to the frame and drill a hole through both pieces of square so that you can slide the 1x1 picece into the piece welded to the frame and stick a pin to hold them together and have quick release mud flaps. if that makes any sense.

Same idea will work for the front flaps and some day I hope to have a pair to install. You just need to make some pieces of metal to run up to the body mount bracket to attach the upper cross piece to. Then the flap can just slide into that and be pinned in place. Actually for the front pair, I am planning to use round tubing instead of the channel. The tube will be slit along the bottom side. Then the mud flap will go into a round piece of aluminum into which a slot is cut. The tube will then attach to the frame with a pipe flange.

this is what i had done at the local shop. they just took some thick semi flaps and cut them down and welded to the frame. its fast and easy. but still freaking ugly. i hate that utah requires these.

nice pics of mud flaps guys, i currently have a fix it ticket for not having any. the mounts i made for the mud flaps ripped off on my last rubicon trip.

once i saw a guy with 39's on his toyota and he had tiny stock jeep mud flaps on and they said jeep on them which was pretty funny.

Using 92 TOY's idea...


I've stuffed tires into them more than a few times and so far they're holding up nicely and doing a great job.

got some quick release mudflaps mounts made:

came out a little closer to the tire than I thought...not a good idea to mount them w/o mudflaps..I will get some material to use as a spacer to gain a little more clearance with the tire....

I like the quick release idea, looks very easy to use. Wouldn't have to be fumbling around too bad after a days of wheeling.

quick disconnects (the bolts were just temp till i made it to Lowes for the banana clips)





I gotta find a better flap though, these royally suck. The rubber cracks and rips and I've had them fall off twice now.. not including all the times ive gotten lazy and not taken them off and ripped them off wheeling haha.. but really, the rubber is really brittle I just re-attached them again this afternoon.

does it matter if its earlier than a 90's truck? I have an 82 and cant find any that will fit it. Is there a place to buy them online or something?
