Eagle_SX4 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I want to put some mud flaps on my truck. I was wondering what size the stock ones are? Width and height front and rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatslug87 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Fronts, I’ll get the rears later. And here’s an alternative method of installing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle_SX4 Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Thanks @fiatslug87 I am probably going to buy some of these and cut them up to fit. https://www.amazon.com/Plasticolor-000542R01-JEEP-MUD-GUARD/dp/B0794CDQ2K They are 11x19 which is pretty close to the overall size and should work better for my 31x10.5 tires.

boxyjeep Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Not sure if you have the brackets, but if you need those too, I also make replicas: https://boxyjeep.com/products/jeep-comanche-mj-mud-flap-bracket-kit-1986-1992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle_SX4 Posted August 26 Author Share Posted August 26 @boxyjeep Thanks once I the mud flaps come in the mail I will decide how I am going to mount them. I found a thread about putting the front guards on the rear. I think it looks better than how the factory did it. If I could order 2 sets of front brackets from you I probably would.

I think this is your best bet. The OEM mudflaps are too small and dinky looking for a lifted rig with tall tires, and they don't hang low enough to the ground to be functional.

Eagle_SX4 Posted August 29 Author Share Posted August 29 Got the new mud flaps in the mail. I had to add the missing detail. It is some white adhesive silicone tape. It's supposed to be used as a non slip tape for furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle_SX4 Posted August 31 Author Share Posted August 31 After a quick mock up I found I won't be able to use the factory style brackets. I will have to make my own. I am going to mount them much lower in the front than the factory ones were. Approximate factory location Where I want to put them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxyjeep Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 To be honest, the front factory brackets leave a lot to be desired. One side is just a long screw with plastic standoffs into the fender liner. I'd strongly recommend doing something like one of our other members did where they built a bracket between the fender mount and inner body.

Eagle_SX4 Posted Friday at 02:41 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 02:41 AM Well I got the passenger side bracket made. It is stainless and I think it will work well. The outside resembles the factory bracket with a leg that goes over to the body and get held in place by the existing body clip that holds the inner fender liner in place. It is all one piece.
