What Mudflaps do you have installed?

[Dirtrider]

What have you all got? Should I go with the Ford ones? Putting them on my BadSquatch once it arrives. Saw a raptor that had ones added that looked ridiculous, don’t want that to happen. Pics?

The Inexpensive Ford ($59?) fronts don't work with the OEM rock rails. I have a 4 door BD non-sas and I chose the IAG (same as Mabett) but fronts only. I don't particularly like mud flaps but I like mud covering the sides less These should be less visible with the wider SAS fender flares than they are with my non-sas BD. The only thing I didn't like is using the fender liner plastic snap in pin for the inner mud flap retainer. Since mine is non-sas I have the crash bars so I made a 3d printed retainer/plug that slides into the end of the rear crash bar to hold the inside of the mud flap. No fiddling with the plastic snap in pin, easy in, easy out.

Sorry for the double images, don't know how that happened

For Rock Rails, I like these from BluMak3D

There are 2 size options for Non-Squatch and a Squatch specific set.

OEM front flaps only. Had to modify to work with the Badlands rock rail, but in the end, it was worth it. I think this is a rare case where the OEM part looks as good or better than any after-market part and costs less than any but generic ones. I took some advice from @MFP2241 and just cut a hole for the rock rails. The end fit looks clean and these guards do an excellent job of keeping mud and rocks off the side of the Bronco.

Rokblokz XL long; went with them mostly for ease of installation and removal while providing great coverage.

Well put

I had the ones from Mabett. They were great and easy to install. But wanted to take them off in fear of breaking them when dropping down off rocks ect. Instead chose to bring them in under the Bronco. Here's the results. The factory tires did throw lot of rocks. These new Toyo Open Country R/T Trail tires do not throw rocks. Just another option and some information.

I went with Rekgen XL. Reading all the stories on Territory MT tires. Mine didn't come with direction. I received help from one of the members on here. They sent me instructions from their kit. Very happy with function and look.

I am on the Ford Build and Price for the 2023 Bronco 4-door Big Bend and see that I can order the OEM Front Mudflaps - which I assume will either come installed on the vehicle when delivered or will be installed by the dealer upon delivery. But I do not see the option for also ordering the OEM Rear Mudflaps. Yet the Ford Build and Price photo of the Bronco shows BOTH Front and Rear mudflaps on it. Side steps and rocker panels are not the issue as neither are being ordered. Can anyone explain??!!

I'm surprised not many mention " Rally Armor". They are amazing

WT are stiff and if you off road will damage your car because the flaps don't flap
Mabbet is a Chinese product and i ain't paying CCP
Rokblokz are a decent option but once you try Rally Armor is hard to go with other option

Im not seeing how this solves the problem. The clips towards the end, where he shows after riding through mud...are not good (personal opinion). The entire side of the vehicle is still getting hit with mud/rocks (significantly). Mud flaps, would completely remove that or significantly remove that spray on the doors. I have the sas package which comes with the extra wide fenders. They do not, in anyway, solve the problem or replace mud flaps. There is a gap between the fender and then rock rail that still remain wide open. This is what needs to be closed. Again my personal opinion of riding a Badlands Sas. Mud flaps and proper rock sliders that extend outwards would almost entirely remove the spray that is shown at the end of the clips.

Gotcha. The tires were the main issue in regards to rocks. Replacing them solved 90% of the problem. The issue I was having was mud caking the door handles and getting all over the windows. Bringing the tires under brought the dirt line down a lot. I will always have mud on the side, just not as significant. In the video, the red line shows how high the mud gets on the side. Much better in my experience. True, mud flaps solved the issue if you choose to use them. I went this route

IAG

Very clean ride! Nice!

Weathertech. I like that they have a few bolts that I can pull off when I go on the trails if I think I need the space.
