    Mud Flaps

    These are mine after a weekend on the sand dunes at Robe. They are a poor design with no support for the large inner area of rubber. Has anyone fitted something better and that looks good or should I just get them replaced at the next service

    Point this out to the dealer as a design problem. You might get lucky & have them replaced under warranty.

    Then, remove them before you go off road as it's a common problem when they scrape.

    As Scouse advises, I have removed mine (permanently?).

    Best Wishes,

    I have a semi broken one now, waiting for it to fall off before doing a fix.

    I had one damaged on the Simpson Desert trip, managed to make a repair that is not too noticeable, but I will make some replacements for up and coming trips.

    After 3 broken sets, mine are now the same as CarverD3's. Same idea after breaking the last set in the Simpson.
    Need someone to design a flexible set.

    You can either stick a bit of rubber imediately behind the wheel, which will not be stiff enough to keep the stoes away from your trailer.
    Or if do what I did, using the LR originals as a base, they are in the right possition and the LR originals keep the rubber well positioned so it doesn't flap.
    Some work involved though.
