I am getting bored of replacing my mud flaps on my 90, I seem to lose one every time I do any serious off roading, was wondering if anyone had any alternatives or ideas on how to keep them attached, secure, out the way e.t.c.??

On the rears put a small hole on the bottom middle of the rubber and loop around a cable tie on each. Next time you go off-road tie them both up with a bungee rope on to the bodywork- simple

Its not that im worried about, they serve a purpose, they stop mud/stones flicking up and smashing windscreens, when were laning I will always have someone behind me and dont want to smash thier screens...

I like the cable tie idea, quite simple really...

but if your going to cable tie them up out of the way they wont stop stones anyway?

People shouldnt be that close when laning and you'll only flick stones up if your wheels are spinning...

Im talking about when you have finished laning/off roading, you will have stones stuck in the tread, when these come out at road speeds they can travel quite a distance...
