A pair of mudflap brackets are each made from a respective planar sheet of metal, such as steel, that is cut out and then folded at two right-angle bends to form three planar sections that are perpendicular to each other, i.e., a back vertical plate section, a top horizontal plate section, and an inside vertical plate section. In some embodiments, a rear vertical edge of the inside vertical plate section is immediately adjacent the back vertical plate section and welded to the back vertical plate section, thus forming a durable rigid three-dimensional structure to which a post sized to slide into a corresponding socket on the vehicle is welded, and respective bolts, lock washers and nuts secure each bracket to the vehicle. Each rigid 3D structure of mudflap bracket and post provide a strong and durable support for a respective mudflap. In some embodiments, optional LED light fixtures are included.
