Ok so I'm getting ready to head into the foriegn country of Utah. I'm Nevada legal but Utah apparently isn't part of the United States anymore. I've asked (on several occasions) for an Exempt Status Permit and have been denied everytime. Long story that at this point is with the Utah Attorney General's Office.

So in an effort to sneak in without papers (Sieg Heil!) I'm thinking of temporary flaps and flares. Hoping that this alone would be sufficent to avoid imperial confrontations. What have you done and how did you make them work without flying off on the highway but still be removable so you don't look like a total dork on the trail?

Don't know about the flares but you could use a bracket like some 18 wheelers use. It's just a bracket with a square hole in it bolted to the frame. Then a piece of square stock bent into an "L" shape with the flap bolted onto the long part. The short part fits into the bracket on the frame. EZ on EZ off.

Here some removable ones for a Cherokee... you might be able to adapt them to your rig...

easy, Go to your local heavy duty truck store :D get the removable mud flaps and brakets.

I never cared enough to make flares. But I got lots of fix-its for them, but i always got the tickets signed off with just mud flaps.

I did think about cutting up the nearest doh-boy plastic pool and screwing them up into my inner fender well to make temp fender flares, but that would have been too much work for my show truck.

material: Cardboard
mounting: Duct tape

Lance had a good picture of one on Welderboys rig.

ok.....so lets say when driving around in Moab.....likr to the trail...to the :beer: ...etc......am i going to have to slap on the flaps?

or is this more of a "highway" issue?

just hit me that i may need to think about this as well.

:confused:

Tehy ahve smaller versions of receiver hitch tubing. I bought some 1" square tubing and whatever size it slid into, something like 1.25". I bought some $20 flaps at Pep Boys, measured how long the tube needed to be to cover my tires, cut it, tacked a 2" piece of the receiver tubing on it. Drileld a 3/8" hole through both of them, and then welded and gusseted the 2" piece onto the frame of my truck. I used a hitch pin to hold the flap in. They pull off in no time at all. I probably got about $30 and an hour into them.
