Custom Mudflaps
AZ law requires 'splash guards' on 'lifted' trucks, so I figured I would spend some money on flaps instead of a ticket. My original plan was to get some duraflap's with custom artwork, but at almost $300 I reconsidered. The clearance at the rear of the wheel well between factory fender flare and the tire isn't much, and adding a flap that goes in between didn't look like the right solution.
So I fabricated some hangers and bought some 12" x 18" flaps from Napa for $18. They attached to the fender and the frame, and are adjustable. I cut the flaps down to about 14" so they don't get ripped off backing over a curb or a rock.
The right side benefited from a slight bend to properly clear the exhaust.
The goal wasn't the best coverage/protection, it was to adhere to the law and still look decent.

Perfect Justin, nice job man!!!
You taking orders?
I haven't pulled the trigger on flaps & flares yet, surprised I haven't been tagged on it yet, just a matter of time...
My wife on the other hand, pulled over all the time in her Hummer, hmmm, cute blond, go figure...
Hey Justin I think that's my Honda saddle sitting on the ground, ha?

She says not very well either.It took 6 years to get a mud flap ticket in my old truck, didn't even know I needed them... $144. I guess here in AZ SUVs don't need them, but trucks do.
Yes I think that is your CRF450 seat, why you had the carb apart at the same time as all the grinding and welding, well I'm not sure.

Unfortunately I only take orders from my wife. She says not very well either.

Oh and the carb apart vs grinder/welding, you're singing to the choir, we all get that
