658864 发表于 2019-11-14 14:51:11 Do you have a cutter? You can use it to make the holes.\nI had my mudflap stolen while overnight parked in Gary IN. Found a trailer mudflap another trucker left behind, I cut it to the tractor mudflap shape, made holes with the cutter and I had some screws in the tool box. The only thing I had to buy was the metal bar... it’s easier than it seems and in your case you can do it without spending any money...

","text":"Jeez. What’s next, drivers stealing each others’ hoods off their trucks? I actually do keep a box cutter on hand but apparently I’ve used it so much that the blade got dull and broke when I tried it. I did recently watch a video with a driver that always keeps a mud flap in her side box so I think I’ll start doing that. "}

497499 发表于 2019-11-14 14:25:48 During my pretrip I found that my mudflap was damaged and hanging down, and I didn’t have the right tools on hand to drill new holes in it to remount it, so I had to get creative with some bungees. My guess is that it got hung on a pot hole and got pulled under the wheel at the previous customer’s yard. It looked fine on my post trip so it really must’ve been hanging by a thread.
