mud flaps

what are you guys doing for mud flaps? i really dont like the mud flap look but i got pulled over the other day by the ISP for no mud flaps i guess someone called in and reported me. saying i kicked up a rock in to theier car anyways the ISP let me go with a warning but said next time will be a $180 ticket i drive a lot of gravel roads and my bfgs grab a lotta rocks and when i hit the hiway doing 65 i can hear the rocks start to let loose so i guess mud flaps are cheaper then tickets or windshields. what kinda mud flaps do you guys have and you mount em to your truck thanx

I've always liked the looks of the ones that hang off the rear bumper like in the picture that Silver posted. If you don't like the looks of mud flaps at all they make clear ones that are less visible.

2x^^

.... mudflaps immediatly behind the rear wheels makes the rig look like a fat chick wearing a mini-skirt.

That's the *** end of my rig in post #2

Hanging the flaps was pretty simple, i think i had less than $25 in hardware...

1- slotted angle iron
2- U-bolts
8- threaded quick links

Simply attach the angle iron to your bumper brackets using the U-bolts and hang the flaps from the angle iron with quick links (or nuts/bolts if you prefer)

Or you can just go with nuts/bolts and save about 10 bucks.
