New mudflaps

Needed some mudflaps to protect my trailer while towing. These turned out great!

No, I didn't put them on the front as of yet. With the KR running boards, I really don't think I'll need them.

Here is the website:

Those look awesome. I'll need to pick up a set at some point. Are they pretty stiff? I hate when flaps curl up over time.

Yes they are. I really believe these will not have any problems with curling. I have had a lot of mudflaps over the years, on all my Commercial trucks (Semi's). I really like the recessed "weight" pockets. The "weights" are not bolted on, they are bolted "into" the flap. And they don't "sail".

These are some of the best, if not the best flaps I've seen.

Just so you know, I don't sell this product, but I do like it!

I'm not sure you will find a better flap. And no drilling involved. Just follow instructions by the letter, and you will have great success.

Here is a truck on another thread that has a picture of his front flaps. (see post #7 )

You are a bad person!!
I'm wanting to put new flaps on my truck, was gonna go the cheap route and buy ones from a local store and make them look pretty myself. Now that you posted those, I want those, but now I gotta sell the wife on them!

Those are the ones I'll be getting for sure. I'm tired of my 37s killing my paint.

I bet they are! You might want to check with them. Your 37's might take a different mount, but don't quote me on that. My 35's seemed to have plenty of room. I'm going to enjoying these, and am seriously thinking fronts, but there again, my 35's might crowd them. ( I just went and looked, my 35's should allow front flaps)

Duraflaps are great to work with, Dennis is very helpful.

BTW- what do you have now for a truck? I see you sold your King Ranch?

I just bought a '99 F350 diesel with a 6" lift, 37s, and has been pretty built up. I'll be positing pics as soon as I get a second to clean her up a bit. Before I bite the bullet on the flaps, I'll do some research and calls to make sure they'll fit.

i know its just a ranger, but i wanted better mud flaps for my truck. the old stock ones just werent very heavy duty so i made a whole new set for mine and added some width and length to mine. the material i used was a new semi trailer mud flap. the local napa has a pallet of 'em just inside the front door, there are the short tractor ones and what i picked up, a 36" long one ment for the trailer, dont know how wide, id assume about 24" what ever it takes to span the duals on a rig. anyhow for $6. yes six bucks! i was able to trace out my 'flaps, added about 2" in length to the fronts, 3" to the rears, a inch in width to the rears and about 2" in width to the fronts. i did need to use new fasteners, the stock ones werent quite long enough. i happend to have some, so no cost was incurred. also used some fender washers i had on hand to both sides of the 'flaps for more clamping area. on the rears i added a 1" metal strap due to the outside 4" of mudflap didnt have any support. all in all i thought it wasnt bad getting 4 'flaps out of such heavy material for only $6.00, i traced them out with a paint pen and used my sabre saw to cut them out. will probly outlast the truck!

Didn't get that pretty blue color on the exhaust tiip by idling around town either ......



To see what the flaps are actually going to protect run over a cord with the tire, lift the cord up until it hits the bottom of the flap .... anything below that is gonna get dirty.
