wildlyfe200 Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 I just got these gatorback mudflaps installed and so far i'm pretty impressed. They are heavy duty. 1/2 rubber and look good to boot. Here the pics you be the judge. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
Dnt Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 How much and where did you get them? Are those existing fastener holes, or did they drill new holes to fasten them in with? Would like to have a set of mud flaps I am just not real keen on drilling a bunch of holes in my new truck LOL

Would like to have a set of mud flaps I am just not real keen on drilling a bunch of holes in my new truck LOL Front ones i had to drill no way around it. The rear ones tou can buy a bracket but have to drill one hole each i also added one more. I wasn't happy about drilling holes but I was more unhappy about the mud all over the sides of my truck Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
pcruis1 Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 Look great. Those are next on my list. I've debated fender flares for about two years, and I've decided mud flaps are the way to go. My Toyo RTs are killing my paint job. What size are those? Did you use the brackets on all four corners?

Would like to have a set of mud flaps I am just not real keen on drilling a bunch of holes in my new truck LOL They're $200+ just for the rears. I got my rear set from a competitor's model of the Gatorback mudflap for $20 on Amazon. Only thing I did different was I put the bolt head toward the tire with the nut and threads sticking away from the tire. Didn't want to risk any future damages/punctures with bigger tires. Definitely a heavy duty mudflap that protects my Borla exhaust tips and rock sling great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dnt Posted June 4, 2017 Posted June 4, 2017 I am looking at the Black wrap Denali logo the chrome might just be a bit too much for my sensibilities (like I really have any haha) https://www.sharptruck.com/truck-hardware-gmc-sierra-denali-logo-with-black-wrap-gatorback-mud-flap-set-gb1223cutd-full-gb1223d-full-gb756802

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I found them on amazon for $109 front and rear so $218 total plus $50 for the rear brackets from sharptruck. That lonk is for the rear flaps the fronts are now $144 they were same as rears 2 days ago. https://www.amazon.com/Gatorback-GMC-Denali-Truck-Flaps/dp/B016MZYMV4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1496006652&sr=8-3&keywords=gatorback+denali+mud+flap Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

SilveradoSaver Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 I have the off-set Gatorback mudflaps on my Silverado, shown below. I love them! I was so back and forth on adding mud flaps on my truck before. But as I was flipping through pictures on Google, I came across a truck with these on it. No regrets and they are super durable! Only had to drill one small hole through the wheel well liner.
wildlyfe200 Posted June 5, 2017 Author Posted June 5, 2017 After two days of driving around with the gatorbacks on i'm extremely happy with them. They are going to be on every truck i own. No mud on sides of truck, exaust tip, or running boards which were always covered in dirt. Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk

ChevyRoofer Posted June 12, 2017 Posted June 12, 2017 Ho How are they installed? Drilled into the fender w/ provided screws. I didn't use the bracket. I also added a wing nut/bolt combo on there just for peace of mind. And again, I'm in Texas where we have zero snow, and mild rain. Shouldn't be any rusting/corrosion.

I want this but don't want to buy the bracket.
