moved front mud flaps to rear

I like how the FJC looks with the mud flaps removed. I finally got around to removing them but when I did I didnt like how the fender flare looked with th piece of plastic behind the rear wheel well. I always thought the rear flap was way too long so I mounted the front mud flap on the rear. I had to trim some of the inner part of it but I think it lines up pretty good. What do you guys think?

Re: moved front mud flaps to rear

Now that is some nice work. I may just have to do that, I hate seeing that random bit of blue metal sticking out right there.

Re: moved front mud flaps to rear

Well done Johne, I feel the same way and would never have thought of doing that. I think I will have to follow your lead on this. Thanks much for the idea and the post. Virtual rep points for you!!

Why can't I ever think of anything cool like everybody else? Maybe my wife is right, I am dumb. Someday I will think of something....

Re: moved front mud flaps to rear

I dont mind the void. I did bolt up the piece I cut off the front mud flap there but didnt like how it looked . I just didnt like the large gap between the bottom of the flare and the bottom of the piece of plastic behind the rear wheel well.
