Low profile mudflap options

[ronnyek]

Apologies, I have no idea what or if there is a better subform for this question, none seemed appropriate.

I've lifted our bronco 2.5inches, and have 37's on it. Apparently tires will rub at full lock and under articulation. I'm hoping to find some mudflaps that help keep rocks off the side of the car... but are as far from the tires as possible to prevent any interference worse than there already is.

Appreciate any ideas here. Thanks!

I had the same issue. I ended up using a set of generic flat ones on the front and they work just fine.

I have a SAS OBX. I cut (to what I wanted) generic flaps and just mounted them to my below door step. I've seen numerous video's on utube showing creative ways to mount generic flaps if you do not wish to buy pre mades.

Do you by chance have a close up? What does mounting look like?

Oh Dear Lord! the Hooke Bronco in their Banner has been designed to look like an angry Jeep!

This is like Plastic surgery gone wrong!

I installed the Mabbetts on the front only. They fit nice and are not too big or too small in my opinion. They looked like they covered the Sas tires well enough but going on my first off road adventure proved otherwise. The Sas tires picked up gobs of rocks and flung them everywhere and chipped the paint a lot on the lower part of the doors and rockers. A lot of touch up paint work and I was not happy. From reading other posts, running boards seem to be the best solution to get the maximum protection. I don't favor running boards at all so I do not know of another better solution to the rock chips. Maybe bigger, longer mud flaps but I don't favor that look either.

I tried the Mabbetts and they rubbed extremely bad on the front. I left them on the back and went with these on the front.

I put these on the front. I used the existing holes and drilled up the mud flap to match.

Check out Broflaps on Etsy.

Yeah, welcome to the future. Everything will be AI assisted, especially, when it comes to the liberal arts, etc. The biggest difference maker will be those who use it and proofread or those who can really tailor AI and Machine Learning to automate things that will eliminate jobs but in the same way as Lamplighter was eliminated by switching to electric streetlights. I know many people, acquaintances all, who are employed to write social media posts, basically. Those jobs will be reduced as (micro)manager-level types learn or are forced to learn how to use AI to replace them. Obviously, that had to be oversimplified, but it can really help start-ups, small, and growing businesses like Quicken, etc. did. Is using ADP for payroll cheating or evil because they didn't hire accountants? No. Business is competition--not always fair--and sometimes competition comes out of nowhere, but this is innovation and to be expected.

I take more umbrage with chat bot customer service and phone menus where you have to say something and can't select a number(I did find out one place gets me right to a real person when I say certain curse words, lol).

This copy? I usually don't read that filler anyway so it doesn't bother me when it is AI or written by a non-native English speaker. Rough Country included instructions that were incomplete, showed different hardware, and parts were written by a non-native English speaker and never proofread. It is far more frustrating when it's instructions that need to be clear.

Like using the typical same three screw holes up front?

Yes. I’ll post some pics when I get a chance.

My wheels and tires supposedly hit the factoring running boards in some conditions when Installed. (I never saw how or in what conditions... just what the tire shop said... so I had them rip them off)

I now run electronic running boards that have no problem with interference, but that being said I feel like mounting brackets and stuff could get rubbed if they stick out in wheel well
