Detachable Mud Flaps for the XJ

[stomperxj]

Last year on our vacation the trailer suffered some pretty good gravel rash on the front. I decided to make some flaps for this years trip. 1 bolt and they can be removed. Welded some angle to the hitch, one with a nut and one with some sq tube. The tubes the flaps are bolted to are aluminum. The curvature of the bottom of the bumper makes them look crooked but they are level I promise

Great idea. I picked up a set of the AEV splash guards for the same towing issue.

Nice, it's great to see someone build their own that will likely outlast the off the shelf units that are usually a waste of money.

Very nice, I built some a few years back on my XJ that attached into my HD offroad engineering shackle brackets: http://www.hdoffroadengineering.com/collections/frontpage/products/xj-shackle-relocation-kit Mine were very similar and just used a piece of angle iron with the mud flap bolted onto it and then they would use a wing nut and bolt to attach to the bracket. It tucked them right up behind the wheel and kept me street legal.
