IAG I-Line mud flaps - deceptive advertising

[tstyles]

If you saw this image of a Big Bend with this mud flap would you assume that same mud flap would look exactly like that on any non-sasquatch bronco? I thought I had found exactly what I needed for a mud flap for my OBX. Much to my surprise, it didn't fit like this at all. The mud flap is designed for a sasquatch flare and doesn't sit flush on a non-sasquatch flare. I reached out to IAG OFFROAD that sells these and they told me that they replaced the fender flares with sasquatch flares on their shop Bronco. Does that seem like a deceptive advertising practice to you? I bought them off their eBay page and I can return them... but I'm out of pocket for the return shipping. Seems like really shady advertising to me.

Here another picture from the same eBay ad...

I have the Mabetts which are pretty much an exact copy. Doesn’t bother me a bit that they extend past the small flares. They give better protection like that and i think they look fine.

You make my point very clearly.... your picture looks nothing like the images they are using to sell their product.

I have the IAG Flaps on my OBX and appreciate the extra protection afforded. Sure, they extend out past the stock OBX flairs, but the look is not atrocious. If they fit the stock OBX flairs like they do the SAS flairs they wouldn't provide as much protection, which is the whole reason for installing them in the first place.

It's all personal preference.

I have no issue with the mud flaps functionality or construction. It looks like they would do exactly what they were designed to do. Everyone I have interacted with at IAG have been pleasant and professional.

For me, I have been looking for something to block the small area between the factory flare and the factory tube steps. That's it. The Mabett ads show the flap added to a non-sasquatch and it looks exactly like you would expect. Again, not really what I wanted. But when you look at the IAG ads they show an obvious Big Bend wheel and the mud flap is even with the fender flare. I thought I had found what I was looking for. What they don't tell you unless you ask is their shop Bronco has sasquatch flares. Now, I'm out my return shipping charges because of the pictures they chose to use to advertise their product.

That's all I'm saying.

I have the IAG's mounted on my Badlands Sasquatch. If you value your rocker panels, you'll appreciate the wider coverage. I have a gravel driveway and before I installed them, I was getting nasty rocker panel strikes all the time, and had to get out the touch-up paint every week. With the IAG's stock design, rock strikes were reduced about 85%. I modified the fronts with removable rubber sheet extensions which eliminated rock strikes for street and highway use. Here's a video of my install and modification:
