Question on Mud Flaps

thanks for the rocks and cracked windshields.

 

I trimmed 4" off the front & 1" off the rear because they were dragging off road when stock.
Now with 33" tires & 3" lift I wish I hadn't trimmed them.

 

I trimmed the front to be the same distance from the ground as the rears. Look better, and they haven't been ripped off yet.

 

After reading this thread, I walked out to the garage with a straight edge, a marker and some tin snips. 10 minutes later, my front flaps were 4 inches shorter.

Looks so much better.

 

Interesting how well the mud spray pattern matches the expected dimensions:



I'm surprised you don't rub with 33" tires, though.

With 4.5" BS. Better for looks & stability, worse for mud spray.
If I hadn't trimmed 4" off the front it might not have hit the doors.

You haven't had any new mods lately, and I have a set with 5 miles on them if you need them...

 

I purchased a set from rockblox on Ebay when I broke the drivers side washing it. I like them much better than the stock set.

 

My tires are always full of gravel. So being the nice guy that I am and having a windshield busted a few times in my life I will just leave them on so the guy in back of me on the freeway does not get hit by my rocks coming out of my tires. Thats how I roll.

 

I have done some mods since those pics, Just haven't had the time to go wheeling. I've added sliders & a full set of skids but they didn't make my flaps any longer.
If you're offering them to me for free I'll take them. If I spend money on mud flaps I'll get better ones than the stock ones.

 

took the front off cause they rubbed every-time i went off road. left the rears on.

 

I checked the fronts today.... they are coming off. Seems they both split at the edge where it mates with the body... I'll get some pics of them tomorrow. I'll have to find something better I guess.

 

Took them off and here is where they both are cracked. NFG....

 

I removed mine and noticed a line cut directly through the paint to the body on my rear flaps- either done by off roading/vibration with dirt between the flap and flare would be my guess

 

Does anyone have the Weathertech flaps? http://compare.ebay.com/like/121108113094?var=lv&ltyp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&var=sbar

They are a good company but I'd like to know if these hold up.
