Trimmed Rear Mud Flaps

[Bluetribal]

I searched on here and I have yet to see some detailed photos of trimmed rear flaps so I thought I would post what I did with mine this weekend. I was inspied to do this after scuffing one up on a high curb while paralel parking. After my first off road trip later this monnth I may decide to trim them up more. But it is cheaper to cut more rather than buy new ones. Linky

Those are some flashy wheels - chromed or polished?

I been thinking of doing the same thing, just up where the flare bulge stops, or up to a 1/2" of flap left. But you're right, you can always cut more instrad of buy new.

I know silvercruiser has done this to his mudflaps. He's a little higher than where you've started IIRC.

Hardcore rock crawling up that curb huh?

That being said - I've been meaning to do this also. Still want the flaps on, but have a little less for the rock gremlins to grab!

That is not enough to keep from tearing them off. All 4 of mine are trimmed up to the bottom of the flare extension area and I still ground them from time to time.

Yeah, I probably will need to go higher but it's a start for now.

Aren't you supposed to be counting all the stuff up to 21 Dan?

You're doing inventory this week? Sorry for calling/ordering today then. If I'd have known I shoulda coulda woulda waited for next Monday!

Back on topic... I've been toying with the idea of removing the flares. Are there factory mud flaps for non-flared trucks? Or do I have to get the Yosemitte Sam "Back Off" ones if/when I remove the flares?
