mzairboy Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I am looking for some mud flaps for my 89 Comanche. From what I read, my only bet is the junk yard or ebay if I want mud flaps? I don't know anything about mud flaps for the Comanche, so is there anything specific I need to watch for? Is there any place out there that sells aftermarket flaps for the MJ or XJ that can be adapted for a Comanche? Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've been looking for originals for years and have only come across maybe two sets, both times I was beaten to the punch at buying them by someone who jumped as soon as they were posted. I've never found any aftermarket ones meant for the MJ, but can't say I've looked too hard since I'm picky about what goes on my rig. I was always thinking about just taking some material I have meant for industrial conveyor belts and cutting some out of that and just making some kind of bracket. I could live with plain black ones like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 When i bought my truck it had perfect mud flaps, sadly i tore/cut them off and pitched em in the garbage. This was when i was completely ignorant of CC or comanches in general. Letting the beating commence. :thwak: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMCJeepMJ Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I've always liked the old-school state mudflaps, and just found an organization that started reproducing the Keep Oregon Green flaps. Picked up a set and used the fender flare to mount them to with some self-tapping screws, but had to get creative deeper in the wheel well on getting them mounted. Pic when it's light out.

mvusse Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Wilbur had mudflaps when I first got it. And yes, not knowing the rarity, they ended up going in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 An Acquaintance of mine, named Troy, removed the "Cherokee" badges from his highly modified XJ, and replaced them with "Troy-bilt", off his lawnmower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Here's those mudflaps, don't drool too much! These actually came off cherokee_chiefs truck when my other friend owned it. The owner before him must've cut them to fit because I don't think they came that way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzairboy Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 If I can just get my hands on a pair for exact measurements, I know a guy with a waterjet who can cut multiple copies with ease. I think he can even engrave logos on the material... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I just got my hands on these... NOS front and rears along with all mounting hardware in original and stainless plus instructions. If you want templates I could make some before I modify them by adding the AMC logo above the word Jeep like they were in '86 and sticking them on my truck. I will say they are basically a thick plastic rather than reinforced rubber like semi mudflaps or even a lot of aftermarket ones in this style. The back side (or the side that faces the tire) has grooved channels that go about halfway through the mudflap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have exact dimensions (or the best you can do) with lots of photos at different angles. Details about the front/rear flaps, plus hardware would be most appreciated. Even if you traced the outline on paper and mailed it to me, that would be an option. Thanks for your time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotex Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Yes, this is some good info that shouldn't be lost. You should get the tracings to someone with CAD so they can draw them up to scale for archiving all the pieces along with the instructions.

They look like true Comanche flaps have to go out to the garage and compare to mine. GirsMJ are yours listed for the Comanche or Cherokee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComancheKid45 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I apoligize for not getting any photos or such of any of mine.....ill try and get em out here in the near future ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GirsMJ86 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Mine are listed as "Comanche - Cherokee - Wagoneer". I'll be sure to snap pics while I see how they fit and install them, if I ever get the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
