You Don’t Think About Mud Flaps Until After the Trail

You’re making my point for me.

Front flaps only.

Front flaps only.

Should have gone with one front, and one rear on the opposite side. Rotate them everytime you rotate your wheels. That way you get even wear on your paint.

I have these Mabett mud flaps on my 2 door Badlands. They keep the snow from dinging my paint... ha. I do get into gravel and these keep my paint *mostly* protected. I like them.

Some like removing the flaps on the trail which is when I think they’re needed the most, given the large amounts gravel that Broncos like to sling. Recommend flexible flaps and not hard plastic ones. I’ve done the Rocky Gap trail (Jeep Trail Rated badge trail) with mine on and no breakage. In my case it was long Bro-Flaps which I own, but there are other good options too.

Yep. my front flaps should be here today or tomorrow. Don't much care about my rear bumper.

As far as those long Bro Flaps I've backed over and torn off shorter flaps than those in snow on pavement.

I have the short Broflaps and rock crawl. Haven’t torn them up yet. Had the Mabetts before that and my 37’s rubbed them pretty hard.

The flaps go on the truck.

Not for long on the trails I do.

Good recent expedition thread featuring @Brian_B and some trail-induced mudflap destruction. Looked fun:

My broflaps look pretty well seasoned. I just spraypainted the weathertecs and used some washers and they went back on looking ok

The wethertecs couldn’t stay on the front though - Broflaps are doing well for what they are putting up with

This is the way. Short/minis on the front, nothing in the back
