ABSTRACT:
A high strength mud flap (16) for deflecting debris (18) from a rear wheel (20) of a truck (22) comprising a plurality of curved flexible strong strips (24) of equal lengths. A facility (26) is for attaching abutting side edges of the curved flexible strong strips (24) together to produce a desired width thereof. A flexible strong band (28) is of a length equal to the width of the abutting curved flexible strong strips (24). A facility (30) is for affixing the flexible strong band (28) across the entire bottom edges (32) of the abutting curved flexible strong strips (24). A device (34) is for drilling a plurality of spaced apart anchor holes (36) adjacent the entire top edges (38) of the abutting curved flexible strong strips (24), so as to be mounted to a mud flap bracket (40) behind the rear wheel (20) of the truck (22). A plurality of flexible strong narrow straps (42) are provided. Each narrow strap (42) is of a length equal to the lengths of the curved flexible strong strips (24). A facility (44) is for securing each flexible strong narrow strap (42) onto two abutting side edges of two curved flexible strong strips (24), so that when mounted to the mud flap bracket (40), the debris (18) coming from the rear wheel (20) of the truck (22) will be deflected downwardly.
