Maddog, I agree. As far as a traditional mudflap goes that's the best place for it. They're simple and they look good.

89 MJ, I think I'd have to look at a car with the larger tires and trimmed flares to get a real idea for how to make it work, but I'd got a few ideas.

It might just be best to make a reproduction of the stock flaps. The next time I am around my car (may be December, may be May, tbd), I could try to figure something out or grab some pictures to help come up with a plan.

An interesting idea. I'm not sure about under the flare, but some kind of relocation could be possible. I think you're onto something...after all, it's the guys who go actually play in the mud that would want the mud flaps the most, right?

Well, I run the original wheels and tire size, I just want to avoid rock chips and mud, since I live in a pretty rural area with dirt/gravel roads.
I’m glad AMC is All Makes Combined, it’s really nice for finding parts.
