mud flap / guards
Hi All,
Looking for input on "Sturdy" mud guards. I have a 02 f250, I am just getting it repainted as all of the old flaps got torn off from snow banks and such. And as a result, paint got pulled off. I do plow with the truck, so that is the reason. But are there any out there that will stay on a bit better. I will not be hitting banks at full speed but things happen and I dont want to worry.
Thanks,
Ron

I put semi mud flaps on mine, They rpotect it well. Generic flaps from a truck shop are $7.00 each. Trim And fit. On the rear ones becarefull, you might want to use a chain if mudding or backing over uneven ground. I also put in brackets off the frame so it doesnt hang off the body panels

Don't waste money on Duraflaps, they are great for on road use in the rain, but I have re-attached all of them after they fell off/got ripped off in the mud and snow.

TOOMANY, I take it that you have/had them then? I was thinking of getting them because I have heard that many others love them. I would probably say that I will never off-road my X. Thats what my dodge is for.

I would also recommend not getting the no-drill version of duraflap. Get the non predrilled and drill your own holes in your pickup and the flaps and I think you wil be happier with the results. I got the pre-drilled and the fit is very poor.

I picked up a set on ebay that have a stainless steel plate on the bottom with f-250 or 350 cut out of the plates, they are heavy duty and were not too pricey. I just put them on with some self tapping sheet metal screws. Just do a search for f-250 mud flaps on e-bay and they probably have hundreds to choose from.

I picked up a pair in Ebay and attached them with screws and fender washers. Now that I have done that I think the best idea is to go 1 step further and get some heavy truck flap material and cut them to a custom size and then use my own holes and fender washers. Trying to get a flap with the right holes and the right flap is a waste of time. ............Custom!!!!!!!!
