My original order was flaps only no brackets. After a lot of thinking and looking at pics of members who used the bracket kit I decided to order the brackets from sharptruck.com.

Just for information, Gatorbacks.com is not the manufacturer, he is a retail outfit like sharptruck that has the domain name of the product, pretty confusing. I've heard great things about both.
Truck Hardware is the owner and manufacturer of Gatorback mud flaps.

Thanks for the correction, I was mistaken. I did actually buy from Truck Hardware but it was a while ago and my brain has been addled recently, somewhat consumed by delays and other things.

Once again, thanks for setting the posts straight

Let me edit this. The site I used was Gatorbacks by Truck Hardware. I believe that site uses the product guide from Truck Hardware. Any rate, good service, prompt answers to questions, good shipping.

After spending a few minutes running around the sites I remember now that the Manufacturer has the items (flaps, screws, brackets) ala carte. Gatorbacks.com has them as a set taking some confusion out of the ordering process, unless I missed them on the manufacturers site again.

Sharptruck.com has them as sets as well.

Dave,

We don't have a code but we are running a sale on all Gatorbacks until Christmas. You won't find a lower price online and if you do let us know.

I ordered a full set(front and back)of gatorbacks for my F450 with FX4 black insert--I like the somewhat understated black with white truck. Shipped and scheduled my dealer to install(too busy to do myself--or maybe too lazy--or maybe just not skilled enough--or maybe all three)

I ordered a complete set for my F-450 as well. Hopefully they fit without modification. My concern is the front fender flares sticking out a bit more.

To be honest, I was hoping they were made in the USA. Nothing against Canada at all, as they are the next best thing to it. Thanks.

I do know that these kits are not made to accommodate the big flare and wider diff track in the front of the F450's. The rear of the 450 is no issue.

Has anyone compared the Gatorbacks to the Duraflaps?
