They do exist!

Yep, there's still a couple sets out there. Congrats on scoring a set, and in pretty good shape too! Took me almost a year and a half to find mine but they eventually pretty much fell into my lap. One of my most prized MJ possessions :thumbsup:

 

Do you have brackets for the front? 

 

If you have bigger than 215/75/15 tires you'll need to hold them away from the tire (otherwise they'll rub during tight turns) using bolt D and the associated washers & spacers, all available from any hardware store:

I don't have the brackets with this set but I had just grabbed a set from a cherokee and they might have the brackets.

I'll have to look and by the looks of that I will need to finally replace my front inner fender plastic to install the fronts.

Back in 03 I bought a truckload of NOS Jeep stuff from a TN Chrysler Jeep dealership auction that went belly-up. Some of the MJ specific stuff I got were new upholstery pieces, a couple of roll bars, and four NOS sets of rear AMC MJ mud guards. I installed a set on my 91 (pic below), but took them off shortly afterwards because I though they were false advertising on an HO, and that they looked hideous. I put them up on Ebay, and got maybe $25 per set, and it took quite awhile to sell them. Wish I had kept them now since they are in such high demand. Live and learn.   :shake:

My MJ had full flaps but is missing the front passenger side and the rear driver's. Really makes you see how useful they are, just in the way dirt, mud, and slush accumulate. Also, the passenger rocker is mostly air now. I see a lot of gravel, and it really makes me want to put the flaps back on... Just need to find a set. I'd be happy with the AMC ones. Sure AMC was no longer around when mine was built, but it's still AMC's baby, not ChryCo's. Jeep's not a bad logo, but I'd hate if they had those fugly Pentastars on them...

I think I told you previously, I am a sucker for those tube bumpers too.  I wished you still had that.

Just went over this is another thread. DON'T THROW OUT MJ PARTS!!!

 

This. There will come a time when there are no MJ parts left - let's try to keep that as far from now as possible. Don't want it, pass it on.

 

(although there seems to have been a huge and unprecedented increase in mud flapper demand recently)

I think that's because of Strokermjcomanche's recent parts score. :)

 

 

Yep. I think he has pretty well cornered the MJ mud flap market.  :yes:

I went and looked at my truck a minute ago and I don't think it would be difficult to modify front XJ mud flaps to mount to the rear inside the fender well if you don't like the looks of the MJ rears. At the most you'd need to make a new bracket, but the front mud flap brackets are extremely simple anyway.

 

That would be using a very rare part to substitute for an extremely rare one though, and it may or may not be a chore to make the mud flap hang parallel to the tire. It would look period correct - IMO the ones Don linked look a little bit too modern.

I don't know about cornered , just fortunate to be in the right state at the right time ...
