On mine, I just took them off to go out playing around.
I used GM "Christmas Tree" interior clips to put them on and pop them off with...
They're cheap and fast, that way you can put them back on when you air your tires back up and get back on the road... In the winter, just use 3 sheet metal screws in the top, and each end...
Hope it helps with an idea.

Mine would occasionally get ripped off so in a box somewhere they went.
Exactly right, after three cherokees I switched to the Wranglers, then just bolted some tube fenders to them, I just sold off the plastics, and it was never a second thought...

For the H3 I'm just going to do GIGANTIC "slip in a tube" semi truck flaps with a big euro triangle on them, instant on and off kind of a thing...

Id love to see what they look like when’s you’re done. Sounds like what I need to do.
I actually ordered the euro triangle reflectors from "mep1187" over in the gear, or parts for sale section. Then the truck flaps will actually just be a cut to fit piece like you'd see on the back of a tractor trailer. I'm cutting the rear of the H3 up pretty high, so I want to be sure I have the tires, and tube fenders done when I do the big flaps...
In most of Canada it’s provincial law to have mud flaps, but the law varies by province.
Around here you’ll see some remove-able flaps so that when you’re off road you’re not running over them if you have to back up.
I just tied mine back after I tore them off a few times. Lol.
Alberta Mud Flap and Fender Requirements - Vehicle equipment laws require either fenders, splash guards or mud flaps. A motor vehicle or trailer must have a part of its body, a fender or a mudguard that covers the width of each tire. Mudguard or Fender must extend downwards at the rear of each axle or axle group to at least the centre line of the axle, or be a distance away from the ground equivalent to at least 1/3 of the horizontal distance from the bottom edge of the wheel.

I'll be making it up that way this coming fall I hope, thanks for the heads up on that..! The last thing I want is to have to get your local enforcement pissed at me..! LOL

Just get some removeable mudlfaps, so your not taking out everyone’s windows on the highway, both while passing and someone is following you.
Re: the green car....Heh heh. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I’ve heard of enforcement in only a few instances. One was this guy:
I suspect the cops had tagged him as a favourite. Lol
I don’t run mud flaps on my Jeep and haven’t been bugged yet.
Ground clearance is all that matters...
Yea right... and jail is just a room....

I am just adding some to the rear of my Jeep JK after our trip across Soda Lake on the Mojave Road, that mud is very corrosive and was flinging everywhere including all over our trailer. I was also concerned with taking out someone else's windshield after coming off the trail. AEV makes a nice set that go with their rear bumper so they don't even look that bad. I've got a universal set ordered for the trailer as well and both are removable if needed.
