Front Mud Flaps
Can anybody that has mudflaps on the front of their truck post up pics and details of how you mounted them.
it KILLS me to see my rockers packed with snow and slush especially since they are pretty clean for it's age.
at first i didn't want to do flaps b/c i think m-flaps are about as ugly as can be but a truck with rotted out rockers are even uglier. so i have decided to put some mudflaps on it. the mud flaps will come off when warmer weather comes back anyways.
Thanks in advance.

Mine are just held in by 3 self tapping screws, kind of like a setup on cars, but I had 1 big truck mudflap, I cut in half, and bolted the 2 lower halfs to the main mudflaps, witch weren't long enough, and gave me this,
They are 2" off the ground, and since I have 'em on, NEVER had any snow/slush or any crap hit my rockers or cab corners. I didn't bother putting rear mudflaps on this truck cause the box already needs work, and I plan on replacing it anyways. And yes, I painted them white
And on my 2wd F150, same deal with 3 screws, but I cut out and added a piece of diamond plate to all 4 of 'em to keep 'em as straight as possible.
Again, never anything hitting the rockers/cab corners, and nothing gets in the rear box corners, nor even the rear bumper!
And the back ones on my F250, were mounted big rig style, with a piece of square aluminum tubing, 1 bolt on each end under the bed sides, and the other end to a bracket I made hanging from the box cross members.
I've seen setups like that ^^^ done on front mudflaps to.
