I ditched mine (all 4) a long time ago.

Question for everyone without mud flaps. How did you remove them? Rip them off, drill the rivets, or cut the whole bracket off?

The fronts were attatched with screws to the running boards,easy off. The rears I ground the head of the rivets off. Tried drilling them out, but they spun in the holes.

Both the rear on my truck came off when I was off-roading in heavy snow. They caught on the tire while I was backing up in heavy snow. I took the front ones off. I simply cut them out with a knife. And now whenever I'm stuck in snow I can easily shovel under the truck.

At least up here in Pa there is, at least thats what the inspection place says

A number of state have mud flap laws but they are usually based on the amount of tire exposed to the rear. I've had Vermont pass with no mudflaps one year and not pass (at a different inspection station) the next year.

You could always install them, at least the rears, so that you can easily remove them for off-roading, and reattach for on-road driving.

Yeah my normal garage I get inspected at wants them another garage said dont worry about it I guess its up to whoever is doing the work. Without my mudflaps about 65-70% of my rear tire is exposed so I put them on thats that much less for the local cops to complain about

I have one, think they will cut me some slack? That or I befriend an inspection place and get sticker in hand like for my Integra. :cool:

It was too low to the ground, I knocked over cans if I drove over them :cool:
