Well, I was going to remove the mud flaps on my 98 Disco today (I'm missing one, so I just thought I'd take them all off to make it look a bit cleaner). Is there some special trick to this? They look like they're riveted in place, not bolted.

Yes they are riveted in place, the best way that I have found on my truck is to use a hack saw and cut the heads off the rivets and then use a center punch and knock them out.
I have mud flaps from a semi that I am cutting to size and I am going to use stainless steel nuts and bolts to attach them.

 

You can also drill the rivet heads out. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the rivet.

 

Joe, what state are you in, some, will ticket/fine the crap out of you for removing them, just for what it is worth.

 

Thanks guys. Mike, I'm up in Oregon, and I just called up my dad (who's a retired state trooper) and according to him, it's legal to take them off- so if I get a ticket, I'll let him pay
