Jeep Mud Flaps

My brother-in-law is going four-wheeling this weekend. This usually means that my sister and I will spend the day shopping and it also means that new Jeep mud flaps will be on the list of new items to buy.

Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.

These items are must-haves for anyone who owns a Jeep or truck.

I never gave Jeep mud flaps much thought until I was in college. Back then the mud flap girl was the hot new design on these items. I mentioned these sexist flaps to my sister within earshot of her soon-to-be fiancThey were everywhere on the highway it seemed at the time. His ears perked up when he heard me talking about the Jeep mud flaps.

However, his interest wasnt so much in the image of the girl; it was more focused on the image of the vehicle. He talked about wanting to buy an off road vehicle one day and he also mentioned wanting to have someone to take along on the trips. My sister bought him Jeep mud flaps the following Christmas and he asked her to marry him on the spot.

She used to go on the four wheeling adventure weekends regularly up until she became pregnant with their first child. After that, she was content to see him off and look at some pictures and videos of his weekend. I really think that she spent time on the trips just to be with him. She still likes to buy him Jeep mud flaps every so often.

I wondered why they would invest in something that needed to be replaced so often but when I realized how inexpensive Jeep mud flaps really are I figured that it wasnt much of an investment. I know that the off road trips do a lot of damage to the vehicle, not to mention the accessories that go along for the ride.

When we were shopping around for the auto parts and accessories I noticed Jeep mud flaps with the icon of the girl that used to be everywhere in the early 1990s. I joked that my sister should pick up a set for her husband for old times sake. She just laughed and said that he already has those Jeep mud flaps.

Actually, I was pretty surprised that he owned a set after all of these years. Then my sister explained that he never used the Jeep mud flaps that she bought him for Christmas on the year they got engaged.

A daughter is, a joy bringer, a heart warmer, a memory maker- a daughter is love.
