Dave, Those are only for big rigs. They look silly on PU's and would be worse on an SMB!

Yeah I know Mike, actually I like the ones with the devil girl on one side and the angel girl on the other. Now that shows real class.

Ok Dave. I can see why you want those!

I hope to see them In Jackson this summer.

My SMB needs the angel mud flaps on each side.

I would have guessed some bat mud flaps.

But bat mud flaps would not look as good with my RedNek wine glass. (and the smilie wine glasses will have to be updated)

Dave,

Rear mudflaps have been required in CA for years now. I got a fix-it ticket for it at least 5 years ago. It's just not a typical reason for cops to pull you over unless they're real bored or looking for more. I built some detachable ones recently. I posted pics on page ~72 of the "What did you do today" thread.

Yeah I saw that...nice job. A buddy looked at it some time back when you posted it. BTW glad you noted the page. That section seems to loose things cause it's so big of a thread.

The CHP told me that as long as the tires don't stick out pass the fender wells mud flaps aren't required. The measurement was something like no more than 1/2 inch if I remember correctly. Did the law change??? California never changes their laws right

Also, super job on that bumper you built!!! Wish I had a tallent like that.

Here's the CA language on mudflaps: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc27600.htm

I am not a lawyer, but I read that as normal width tires or fender flares and enough rear overhang or mudflaps. It doesn't define how much overhang or any angles.

With an EB, I think I'm OK with just the overhang. However, I'm barely legit without fender flares with the 295 width tires.

On the Rock Tamers: A friend of mine who tows an airstream, which has (covered) windows right where rocks would hit has a set of them. They look a bit insane without a trailer hitched up, but they clearly work. They are physically big, so I can't see taking them on a trip and only putting them on where required.
