Does anyone have pictures of the weathertech mud flaps on a truck equipped with the oem fender flares? I’m sure they don’t look much different on a truck with flares, but would still like to see them. Wondered if the mud flap is actually wider because of the fender flare.

I'll confirm when able. The truck is a dirty mess, the roads are a wet mess and it's too cold to wash it. They fit a lot like the JLT's I had on my old truck so I'm expecting them to be good but who knows.

Well they look good and look like they should function well.

something to consider for the op. i installed huskys on my truck when new. i have been very happy with their performance but realized yesterday when i was washing the winter grime off my truck that little rocks work their way down inbetween the flap and the fender. maybe a good idea to install some protective film on where the 2 are touching

The issue that hasn’t been discussed is the potential of mixing different metal alloys.
Obviously, our body material is aluminum, so choose a mounting system that takes electrolysis into consideration.
Weathertech isolates, as well as Gatorbacks. I’m sure OEM Ford mounts using isolators.

Shame on you! All of you! The OP says he doesn’t want to look like an old man and none of you posted your age to validate that you’re not an old fart.
Hi, I’m Rob and I have no-drill mudflaps on my Super Duty.
“Hi Rob.”
I’m 44 yrs old.
Now, the OP gets to decide if I’m an old fart or just old enough to be able to afford one of these monstrously expensive trucks.
Fess up, boys. Admit to the world if you’re “old!”

Well, there’s a difference.
There are old fart mud flaps which SCREAM OLD MAN. Usually comes with over sized flaps with shiny stuff riveted on, then accompanied with a bug deflector and of course bumper guides..and maybe chrome door edge guards that run top to bottom vertically...on ALL doors.. Add in something political and you got an old man starter kit for trucks..
And, there are the other side of older where more conservative styling mud flaps and tastes in style is always about “less is more”.
I guess I’m an old at 61, but I’ll kick all of your asses...
LOL.
