A couple of days ago it started snowing. Nothing stuck but i've yet to rebuild the engine in my Montero so I figured I better prep the VR4 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
i bought the universal deluxe mud flaps from rally armor for $25.00

They don't come with any hardware, i went to the local hardware store and got 16 1/4 hex head 3/4 inch self tapping screws, at first you'll think 3/4 inch is too long but they're actually not. I also got 16 1/4 inch fender washers. I also got some 3m double sided tape for extra hold. My goal to only penetrate the plastic rear bumper and the plastic front side skirts. Not get into the actual sheet metal. The end result was a snug, firm fit. The universals are flexible and robust, so they'll work very nicely. I dunno how they would hold up to constant gravel abuse but for the rally ricer like me, they'll do great. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Here's the rear with the 3M, i trimmed the inner edge to clear the muffler on this side and did the same to clear the fuel filler hose on the other:
here you see I used 4 self tapping screws on each flap, i wasnt exact about how i spaced them but i kept it all pretty consistent.
I jacked the car up so both sides sat level, then used a level across the bottom of the mud flap, if you dont do this, you'll wind up with funny angles on each corner. this is where the double stick tape really comes in handy, get it level and stick it on, then attach via screws
All done and snow tires mounted, ready for the sh*t storm.
i took a video too, i'll see if i can upload it.
