Mud flap size?

[Eagle_SX4]

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.

Fronts, I’ll get the rears later.

 

And here’s an alternative method of installing them.

Thanks @fiatslug87 I am probably going to buy some of these and cut them up to fit.

They are 11x19 which is pretty close to the overall size and should work better for my 31x10.5 tires.

Not sure if you have the brackets, but if you need those too, I also make replicas:

@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.

Wish I was lucky enough to have a truck company named after me.....

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.

Looks good, now get to installing

I'm following this build thread with some eager eyes. Stainless mudguard brackets from @boxyjeep looking good in the cart....

Very tempting I will decide tomorrow whether I will use the factory brackets or make my own

sure comes in handy when you build a Jeep for your little nephews

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

[boxyjeep]

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]

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.

Got the front mud flaps installed.
