Below are a couple of pictures of my mudflaps which I reenforced with steel plates at a later date. (See "Blow Out and Damage Prevention") under Tires, Tires, Tires. I attached the steel plates with 1/4" by 2" long stainless steel hex bolts, 1/4" self lock nuts and appropriate size washers. I tried to place the head of most bolts on the outside of the TM outrigger part of frame.
In the pix you can see that the steel plates are 12" wide, as wide as flaps. They extend 8" downward and are attached as high as possible. The 15" long flaps are not attatached as high. Notice also that the TM is now on jacks thereby raising the flaps a little more off the ground and causing the wheel to hang lower.
The picture with part of the jack showing is of the plumbing side. The other picture shows the door side.
