I NEED some mudflaps
Ive looked at the ford ones and the husky ones. I have some by duraflap on my f-250, but i need some for the f150. Duraflap doesnt make a drill-less one, so they are out. I like them best because they go IN the wheel well and have much more coverage. The husky and the ford ones not only look kind of cheap, but very ineffective and cheesy. Why can't i find a decent flap for and F-150 (2002 super crew 4x4)?????????

mudflaps
This may sound stupid to you, but it works for me. I take a couple round bale belts, rivet them together and call it a mud flap. I also rivet a thin piece of galvanized flat iron on each end to give its rigidity. They are longer and much wider than anything you can find to buy. It lasts longer than the pickup does as long as you fasten it good to the pickup (I use rivets as well to fasten it and use plenty of them. It looks better with more the rivets). You can also make it stick out of the fenders by a couple of inches for those wider tires or just for added protection. It sounds like it will look stupid, but it actually gives the same type of appearance as any other black mudflap does.
