Am I Missing Something?

[BigRondo]

It must be buy some mudflaps week 'cause I got some yesterday. These are 12"x12". They didn't come with mounting hardware so I'm trying to find enough washers for the install. These are the rubber ones (so I dont rip them off in the bush), and I'm thinking of trimming the factory ones down to 2" and bolting the newies to onto that. My rear left had already copped some damage when I bought the old girl so I'm just trying to stop the same thing happening to the right.

Lynchy, check the Uma thread........................

They are Husky Mud Gaurds if you would like the exact same ones. Molded in the rear and non-molded in the front.

Got a bead on some OEM ones.......................

That's the worst section on my 93. I would like to replace the dog legs this summer. I try not to open the back doors very much so people can't see the rust holes.!!. lol :

Freakin dog legs. I hate them somabitches!!!...................................

a fender flare would also do the trick probably. keeping the debris that comes off the tire would be a soil saver.

Doc, you care to elaborate?

The debris that gets in there is from what the rear tires picks up off the road. Fender flares would bump out a little from the body giving more coverage from the tire. similar to front fender flares but less aggressive on the rear. sort of like a mud flap but for the front portion of the rear tire. mud flaps goes behind the tire protecting other drivers. perhaps i have misread the post and i am way off track.

just googled "02 explorer fender flare rear" about $75

These few pic's of my trim might help in what you're looking for mate. I've never cleaned the inside in three years (Joe's gonna have a bloody stroke if he see's this)

After seeing all these pics I'll have to double check my rear door areas. Might just buy the Ebay ones.

Thanks to those who took the time to post up the photos.
