well, i got my mudflaps installed this morning... thought i'd post up pics for you...
first, the rears...
had some nice molded ones sitting in the back of the shop that i think i remember buying at fleet farm a few years ago, for some reason, for about $15 for the pair. they fit the back PERFECTLY!!! yes, they are a little narrow for the rubber, but they look fine, and will be just enough. i'm not concerned if my rear bumper is a little dirty.
added a 3rd stainless screw from underneat to make sure they don't move around...
next, the fronts. with the wider rubber (255-70) and the wheel spacers, those little ones from the back were NOT going to cut it. and it seems that any Jeep ones i found online where also not quite wide enough. I checked for some wider/molded ones locally and i found one set that looked like it *might* fit, but it was about $40 i think. I found these generic truck ones for $8/pr and thought i'd give them a try. had to do a little trimming to fit around that pinch weld, but they turned out nicely i think. Nothing fancy, and while they aren't the prettiest, they should do the trick for winter at least!
even added a little L-Bracket brace underneath on the inside, should be nice and firm.
otherwise, they are all screwed into the flares with 2 coarse screws and seem very snug.
just thought i'd update this post and share with you. did you figure out some mudflaps yet for yours??
