RZR rear mudflaps

Okay, I got tired of all the mud so I fabbed up some rear mudflaps. What do you guys think? If you don't like them, no big deal. I think they will serve the purpose for what I wanted. I got a sheet of 24x48" high impact ABS plastic from McMaster-Carr. I made my pattern from cardboard, then went to town.


Used some emblem adhesive to help hold them together and hopefully keep mud from getting trapped in there.

I don't have a brake, so I had to use a board and c-clamps, but it came out about right.



Some pics of the finished product.





The plastic material was 23.00 for the sheet. I had about another 10-12 in bolts and stuff.

A couple of pics of the pre-runner bumper painted silver to match my doors.

Looking good! Be interested in how well they work...

Yeah too big and ugly. Also, it is an add-on. I want an S type flair just wider.

That ought to do the job.

They look good and will do a great job. Mine are similar. I copied off of Chris C. & Gunny. I got flaps at Pep Boys. Last couple of times I rode in the mud we hardly got any on the rear window. I don't have pics of the front to show.

Good Job LT......

good looking job guys. neccessity is the mother of all inventions.

Fender flares are over-rated.

Yep, those would definitely stop the mud from hitting you in the side of the face!

Thanks!

Airborne - do you have the part number for that plastic from McMaster?

Indeed I do.

One sheet will make both sides if you cut it right down the middle.

Thak you sir! I have been toying with doing the same thing, but could not figure out what type of plastic to buy. I will have to get this project rolling. I hate riding with 3" of mud in my lap!!

Well, to be honest, I am not 100% sure how well these will hold up. I guess I will find out. As with most things, it is a trial and error process. I am with you though, I hate all the mud. The doors helped, but did not cut down on as much as I would have liked. The vast majority of your mud comes up from the rear wheels and over, as you well know. I also bought one of those Lock-N-Ride bed covers to keep the crap from piling up in the bed. I spend hours cleaning mine and still have crap in my bed when I am done. The RZR is a great machine but a major PITA to clean.

The mud throwing in the bed is a direct effect of Bighorn tires, they are like shovels when they clean out. This was another reason i dont run them anymore. My xtrs dont throw mud in the bed, it leaves the tire at a lower angle.

Once again Gunny's tire, and all else, rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
