Rek Gen rear mud flaps brackets no bueno??

[CrazyPete]

I was wondering if anyone else had any issues installing the rear Rek Gen mud flaps for a Sasquatch package? After waiting for about 2 weeks, i finally got the Rek Gen Merica front and rear mud flaps. The front went on pretty easily, but the rear were a nightmare and i never was able to install them. I'm patiently waiting for Rek Gen to reply to my email about the brackets they sent me not even coming close to lining up. I'm very certain they sent me the wrong brackets. I spent about an hour trying every possible combination, assuming i just had them wrong somehow....nope, i didn’t. As you can see from the pictures below, the bolt holes do not line up and the two brackets, that are supposed to attract to each other, are bent in opposite directions. Very frustrating.

This 1st pic is the passenger rear and the holes do not line up...the directions show plenty of room for the bolt holes to line up and attach.

This pic is the driver's side rear. These are definitely the two brackets that are supposed to attach to each other.

I wasn't impressed with the fit on my rears.

The bends on the brackets did not seat inside each other.

UPDATE: I forgot to update this thread. I sent these pics to Rek Gen and they agreed....they weren't right. They said it looked like the brackets were installed too far inward. They sent me a whole new rear set without requesting the other rear set to be returned....cannot use the old set for anything anyway. It takes a little bit of fidgeting to get both sides lined up perfectly....I'm pretty odc. I really like them though....i think they look awesome. I didn't like how bulky other mad flap options out there are. I'm glad i was patient.
