Jeep Mud Flaps


Whether you know it or not, lifted Jeeps are required by law to be equipped with mud flaps in most states.  The mud flaps do more than just help with covering the larger tire sizes, they also work as a barrier for debris being thrown up from those very same tires and whoever is behind you. 

If you live in a state where these accessories are a requirement or even if you don’t, they are some pretty important accessories when your Jeep is lifted.  They are not really hard to install either.  In fact, some of the manufacturers make them so that they can be easily removed for when you are on the trails and then put right back in when you hit the highway again.

When compared to other trucks or SUVs, Jeeps need a different type of mud flap.  Typically, you would put a steel mount on your Jeep and then use this in conjunction with a bracket to hold the mud flap in position.  Most mud flaps can be mounted to your Jeep (or removed from it) in less than half an hour.

Aries

Aries is a company that makes mud flaps for Jeeps…among other Jeep accessories.  The 111900 happens to be an 18 inch mud flap made specifically for a lifted Jeep.  It will assist in limiting the amount of snow, road debris, rocks, mud and water that is thrown up.  This debris can actually damage your Jeep or even the vehicle of the person behind you on the road. 

The 111900 features a bracket that is universal and the bracket has a variety of mounting holes.  This means that in addition to working on Jeeps, they will also work on most trucks.  The flaps themselves are 12 inches wide and 18 inches long.  They feature a 22 inch hanger that has been constructed from carbon steel.  This hanger can be cut if you need to fit it to various wheel and tire configurations.

Also featured with these mud flaps is a quick release system that allows for easy removal.  The release is accomplished by way of a quick release pin.  These are durable rubber flaps that have been powder coated black. 

While you might need to do a bit of cutting or drilling for installation, it is still an easy process.  The flaps are mounted right to the frame of your Jeep.

You will find these particular mud flaps sold in sets of two and they do come with everything that you will need to install them.  They also come with a 3 year warranty.

Mud flaps for Jeeps are made by other companies, but these flaps made by Aries definitely merit you taking a look at them.
