Mabett front mud flaps installed

[51Creature]

Got the mabett set of four today. Removed the temporary cheap generic ones I had on waiting for a good option that didn’t cost a fortune. Happy with the look and coverage, not sure when I’ll install the rear, maybe winter time. Installation is pretty simple for the fronts, takes about 15 min a side. You could remove them easily if you want to for certain off-road situations. would only need to remove one plastic retainer along with two Allen head bolts, and of course the front flare, which is simple tool free removal. If your looking for a set that requires no modifications to Sasquatch package with factory steps then these will work perfectly fine. Only issue I see is potentially mud and possible melted then frozen snow getting in behind where the bracket keeps it out to allow a fit with the wider Sasquatch flares. But heated garage with floor drain will cure that, or trip to a power wash bay, warm climates shouldn’t be an issue.

Do you have to remove the fender flare to install them?

Yes you do. Turn the five knobs and gently pop them off.

As far as just function and not looks, will they "work" better? I have a set of cheaper mud flap like you had. They work fine and look ok. My big issue is spending $200 for something that doesn't work any better than what I installed for $18.

I've got the same setup so can't wait to get them in and installed.

Pics of the $18 pair would be appreciated. Let’s go.

I installed both front and rear flaps last evening. I didn’t remove the front flairs at all. The back once I just pulled them out on the rear and never took them off.
i was very impressed with their design and ease of installation. Sorry I don’t have a photo of it outside. I still have it on the hoist doing other mods to it.

Just installed mine today. Posting pics here instead of starting a new thread so it’s easier for others to see multiple installs (not trying to hijack OP).

This is on a base Base with added Bronco side steps, Sasquatch wheels on 33” tires, and Sasquatch flairs.

I paid $120 with the discount and think they look and fit way better than any DIY solutions I’ve seen on this forum.

Took me a couple hours. I may not be as mechanically inclined as @Wildfire1

Do you think these will work with a 1 inch wheel spacer on stock Sasquatch wheels/tires? Looks like they may rub when fully turned.

I put mine on a few days ago. I like the way the fit. Hopefully less rock chips.

I did exactly the same thing, installed the fronts and undecided about the rears. The fronts are great and keep the rocks from my driveway from destroying the paint. I don't think the rears will do well with snow, plus there is nothing to protect in the rear from whatever the tires throw, so they may just stay in the box. $120 was a great deal!

 

[Wildfire1]

Installed mine as well. Love them on my Sasquatch. Perfect fit.

I’m pretty happy with my cheap flaps. They are much less noticeable and don’t stand out like most aftermarket. I’ll admit It took a while to customize them just right but it was worth it. My only regret is they are a little too small on the sasquatch. If I do it over I would get the plasticolor 11x19.

I haven’t installed rear yet. Had to leave for work so I just quickly mounted them. I wanted the fronts on to protect the body from rocks on the ranch roads. I’m going to add some more support and install rear on days off.

Q - I removed the flares to install but when putting back were you guys able to flip all 5 fender clips ? If so, how?

Cuz the way the design is one of the clips sits behind the bracket so impossible to turn.
Hence I locked the 4 clips back to hold the fender but the 5th one is still open
