Genuine Suzuki mud flaps installation manuals

Hello!

I bought and installed a pair of genuine Suzuki front mud flaps (P.N.: 990E0-76J20-000) and a pair of genuine Suzuki rear mud flaps (P.N.: 990E0-76J30-000). They arrived with paper installation manuals, which I scanned.

Now I provide the scanned installation manuals as PDF files here for public convenience.

Nice. Mine just went to the council tip yesterday.

What is a "council tip"? I can only guess that you discarded them? What is the reason?

Oh You lucky bastard, my instructions were in Japanese

I took them off in the first place for a number of reasons. A major reason is I don't like the looks with them on. Also a major reason is they get in the way especially with larger wheels/tyres. A lesser reason is they build up detritus which leads to rust. A minor reason is they act like sails and increase fuel consumption (along with roof racks, wind deflectors and anything else that sticks out lol).
The council has to provide a place for city dwellers to take rubbish to - it's a council tip (probably called a recycling centre these days :laugh: ) - and here in Brum they have massive skips for dumping stuff like old fence panels, grass cuttings or unwanted saucepans. It's where I take used oil and dead batteries etc.

I had the mudflaps floating around in the backyard; some for years like my Pajero ones (15 years). I had Pajero, Pinin, Jimny, Vitara, SJ and Junior ones. A good number were slightly damaged in the removing (though usable) and should have been binned years ago.

I tried selling some of them ages ago but no one seemed interested in old and battered used mudflaps.

Just put new fencing in and came across the box with the flaps in so I took them with me on one of the trips to the tip.

Actually I think I kept a set - born hoarder me :laugh: - but I'd have to look to see if they are Mitsubishi or Suzuki.

Everyone has their reasons for and against.

1.
I agree that they create pools behind them in which mud collects (especially the rear mudflaps) and that mud is almost impossible to wash off from those "pools" using a power washer in car washing stations. To remove the mud behind the rear mudflaps, it usually requires a hand job with a screwdriver (or similar object) acting as a scraping tool.
However, if you cut out one small (~20 mm) hole in the bottom of the rear bumper, behind both rear mud flaps, those holes will allow most of the mud to drain off during driving, and will make power washing more effective. It's quite easy to make the holes - just go to someone who installs parking sensors in the cars and have them puncture two standard parking sensor holes in the described places - a 2 minute job.

2.
I agree that the front mudflaps can interfere with the larger wheels, but that is quite easy to remedy by shortening the plastic spacer on the lower screw which holds them to the chassis (here's my post on this issue: www.bigjimny.com/index.php/forum?view=to...1978&start=48#163541 ). This solution will not work for significantly larger wheels, because it would require significant shortening of the spacers, which would twist the mudflaps.

3.
The mud flaps' amount / factor of influence on fuel consumption, in my opinion, is similar to the factor whether you're driving satiated (heavier) or hungry (lighter)

4.
The reasons FOR mudflaps, in my opinion, is because they significantly reduce splashing and spraying of water, mud and debris behind the wheels and onto the sides of the car's body (and onto trailing vehicles). This benefit gets even more pronounced if (3 cm) wheel spacers are installed.

5. I like them visually a lot, but that's everyone's personal preference.
