I am going to give this a try. I tried to cut down a pair of universal mud flaps but the still seemed too heavy......these seem light and flexable....


I just want the for the back.

Interesting, post pics when your done. I would like to see it on a xB but seems like a good idea.

Good find, I may try that on the front. I think the rear wheels sit in enough to not make much mess. The wheel wells in the back do look "unfinished" and I wonder if this would cut some rain road noise.

I made a set for my xB sometime ago and posted it here on SL but it appears the photo'ss have been removed? Will see if I can repost them once I get home from work.

Nice job with the flaps. Perhaps some in my DIY future. I do prefer the term "personally engineered", rather than home made. Nice job and write-up.

Orataro

Here's the ones I made.

Not the best pictures but you get the idea.

Those are great mudflaps. How many screws hold them in?


For the homemade ones I am not sure what type of templete to design.

Traditional?

Also. how much anchoring and where to anchor?

Orataro

If your lowered the only problem you'll have is going over speed bumps. I also had problems pulling out of my driveway.

Attaching to the rear I only used two srcews (wheel well) I didn't want to attach to the rear lip cause I was afraid I might lose my rear lip going over those speed bumps. The hardest part of installing mine were I had to remove the rear wheels to install the rear flaps.

OakToddler

Would you by chance have a picture of the inside of the wheelwell?
To see how it looks and screw placement, cut of flap, etc.
Thanks....I understand if you don't.

Wow, that looks good 0n the box. I am going to have to install some. What type of drop do you have Orataro?

Orataro

Sorry, I no longer own the xB so can't provide any new photos.

This was my Original post I had sometime ago. Pictures are gone but some information might be there?

I got the mud flaps from Japan. They were Original bB mud flaps from Toyota. But, for some reason they were made for a bB with no side skirts so I cut them to fit. I screw them into the OEM wheel well fittings and used the OEM side skirt moulding to give them a finished look. They came pianted white so no painting had to be done. They were made of a soft rubber so I had no problems with breakage going over the speed bumps. At the time I was running on Goldline springs and for some reason my springs sat lower then most Goldlines (over 2 1/2" drop)

Some other photo's I found.

Oh yeah, those pics give me a pretty good idea.

thanks

I was looking at doing this as well-thanks for the write up.

Orataro - Do you have a link to where you bought those mud flaps?

Orataro

Wish I could help. It's been so long and I bought them from a dealer on YJA's.

Might do a search on this site. If I recall, there once was a thread on OEM part numbers. I may have placed the part # in the thread.

i made some too.i cruise dirt roads alot and i have xxr oo2's with zero offset im waiting for my carbon fiber flares to come in so i bought some 10 dollar universal mud flaps and cut them and installed them on the box.i like it i think it looks cool i can take some pix if you wanna see them.im supposed to get my half inch rear hub spacers in tomorrow so i will take pix after installing those.

Lance13

well heres my mud flaps i spent 20.00 and made them myself .their a hard plastic and the only bad thing about them is while cruisin down rocky roads you can hear the rocks hitting the mud flaps i think i might redo them and use rubber so its quiet.

i forgot most of all i have blue neons under neath and the flaps really help protect them which is cool.

JDMxbB

any pics that you can post up Lance13???

ako

Wow they turned out well... might have to do that.
