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.
