The ticket its self didn't cost any thing other than time. (I had to get a cop to sign off on my fixes and take that signature to the court, about 2 hours total.) Your state maybe different. I built a set of mud flaps using these as a model: http://www.trailflap.com/pictures.html They work great. It takes but a second to take them on or off. They want $100 for these which seems a little spendy given that we're talking about a $20 mud flap, $2 worth of steel, and $5 worth of misc bits and pieces. If you can weld these are about the simplest project I can think of. Dean |

You can buy bulk mudflap material by the foot at your local rubber supplier. It's dirt cheap - I bought a 4 x 1 ft piece of 1/8 inch flap made from recycled tires for less than $6. John |

Re: MUDD-Flap
Oh, man, I never thought about that being a crime! I only have 10.50"
wide tires and they throw rooster tails up behind my sides when it's sloppy out because they stick out a lot. Anyone know the law in VA? :) Matt |
