Mud flaps

I recently discovered that vehicles with mud flaps are not meant to be driven off road in reverse. I managed to remove 3 of 4 in one manuever.

Yeah, I learned that myself. I backed over a curb and pulled one off.

Make them disconnectable and remove them when you start the trail:

I just used the stock (1st gen) flaps and they look OK:



I've got to change them a bit since w/ 35s they'll be a little too short. I'll be using a larger set of flaps mounted the same way. Also will be adding some front flaps, more for keeping mud and water off the side windows.
