On another post about mud flaps, I reflected back in time when I had Yosemite Sam flaps on my little Ford Courier.(back in the 70's good old days.).. Well look what I did today. They are 11 wide so a tad narrow but still I think will work better that the oems as far as protecting the tail lights from mud buildup. I changed the oem out to the clear bottom trailer lights years ago so I could see when backing up. I like that these flaps are made in USA and are very sturdy. To make use of the long bolts in the trailer light bracket was easy. I just dug in my scrap bin and found 2 pieces of metal, marked and drilled and painted it, trimmed the flap to fit by removing the curved edge, used my Dad's punch to make nice clean holes in the rubber, and mounted them to the rear of the lights. I also used a couple of the included self tapping screws on the edge. I've been looking at these (and the plain ones) on Amazon a looong time and now I've done it! Done.. Done ! and I feel a tad younger today.
On the Amazon review about these , it said something on one review, like they were redneck... but I am one anyways so.. yee haa ...and "back off" to whoever said that. bordercollie ( yee haa)
