Mud Flaps options for lifted AD's
Nearing completion of the first stage and was told that i'll need mud flaps on the rear due to the height of the fenders. Its a lifted 4x4 frame and is 25" from bottom of rear fenders to ground. Anyone have suggestion or pics?

Re: Mud Flaps options for lifted AD's
Well unless there is a big truck shop that sells mudflaps with Brookings Oregon on them I' just go to Napa and check though what they have. It's not really rocket science. You have to cover the width of the tire and you have to have it come within X inches of the ground.
Those naked girl chrome things are kind Of tacky though and I'd pass on them unless you are going full Oregon redneck.

I was more interested in pics showing where and how flap were installed under the fender.
The naked lady flaps are tacky (even worse are the naked old fat trucker guy flaps) If current rain and wind continues Brookings will be washed out to sea. |

EEWE, glad I never saw those.
I think like is with any other mud flap you fab up a bracket to hold it where you need it to go and go from there. it might take snooping around on Pirate 4x4 to see what the off road brigade does for mud flap brackets and mounts or other sites that might show. Possibly a trip to the semi truck trinket shop if there is one in the area as they may have simple brackets that you can modify or cut down to work.
