Default Has anyone removed their stock running boards and put the other mudflaps back on?

I would like to take mine off and was wondering if I could buy two mud flaps for the front and bolt them right on?
Is there any extra trim pieces missing I would have to buy?
Thanks in advance.

I did a search but didn't see where anyone had put mudflaps back on.

I have a Discovery I. and a Discovery II.
I did not know the running boards were factory..
I thought someone just bolted them on.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I removed mine years ago, but only left the rear mudflaps on, so as to be nice to people behind me on the road. Were I not nice, I would have removed them as well.

If they have front mudflaps built in, that follow the contours of the front wheel arches, they probably are stock (factory option or add-on) The factory boards are attached to the frame with 8" or so outriggers. (I had to go check mine which are on the roof of my RX-7 in the garage still.)

They were a factory option, and then there was the G4 models, some with Safari Gard sliders.

Just make sure you unbolt all the mounting hardware, the *** who removed mine just removed the boards. The first couple of times i rolled under the truck i got a steel bracket in the middle of my forehead.
