Over sized mud flaps.

Like what them rally cars and artic wagons have.
 
Would one be better with plastic or rubber?

Only it seems likely that the 31's may have clearance issues with the extant flaps.  :?:

A roll of 6mm rubber flooring from Machine Mart, a bit of aluminium angle and a bit of time and you can create sometning as ugly aqs this



The extension up the wing does actually help to keep the side windows clear.

Had a set of expensive ones on my Zuk, After a day on the lanes I was missing 3, so I just binned the last one.

I don't see the point in them for off roading. I want to chuck the mud off not collect it in the wheel arch.

I used a sheet of 6mm rubber that was intended for bus mud-flaps on my old Discovery
It's very flexible & long-lasting, there's been an off-cut as a floor-mat on the drivers side of the 110 for 18 months with no visible wear showing

Only reason for wanting some is cos the yuppies that share one of our access lanes with and whome we rent land from have started getting all precious about not wanting mud and sheep poo transferring onto thier fleet of 57 reg motors. :roll:
