Gatorback mud flaps PICS

[ChevyRoofer]

do you have pictures of your drill without the brackets? I want this but don't want to buy the bracket.

For the rears I do, I can send a pic in the AM

To be honest i dont think they would be perfectly flat with out the bracket. The fronts are fine. But the rears need the bracket.

Well I saw a set of the gatorbacks here locally and they just looked too Industrial for me so I went with the Huskys. They have a OEM look with a finish that closely matches the GMC fender trim. Yes I drilled 8 holes and it hurt really bad but I did it anyway haha. It is all just a personal preference I guess. If I had a lifted truck with oversize tires or maybe a 3/4 ton truck I would probably go with the more industrial looking mud flaps.

Those do look nice. I like em and don't think i wouldn't be unhappy with them. I still like my gatorbacks though. I drive in mud puddles every day so do i do like the extra coverage.

Agreed with the oversize tire part - especially since any all-terrain tire/mud tire that is wider than stock will sling a good amount of rocks and mud.

 

Reason I went with these is because they're wider than the plastic mudflaps and more durable.

Does the husky cover your fender/step bar enough from the dirt?

Here's the fasteners.

Even the OEM 22's ever so slightly stick out on my 2017. I knew I need more coverage. I will tell you with gatorbacks my tri-fold steps are clean as a whistle but if i pounce in the puddles or make a quick turn with wet tires. I can still manage to get some mud on sides of my truck and the gatorbacks stick out about 3/4 of an inch from the fender wells.

Since I have the TriMode steps and they are tucked in when driving it "looks like" the front Husky mud guards are going to be more than sufficient. I am not sure if it will work that well on the fixed side steps as they may extend out past the mud guard a good bit? For some reason i always believed that you had to be an old codger to put mud guards on your truck......silly me I guess I am an old codger now or something. The back Husky mud guards are a bit longer and appears to be slightly outside the tire, these should provide great protection for the chrome exhaust tip and inside of the back bumper.

Gator backs have a great warranty. If you rip one off in mud, or backing into a curb, take the remains to dealer and they replace it, minus the stainless panel. My work truck has had a couple replaced this way, sink into a mud hole backing up to equipment on a soft muddy lease, hear the thunk as they pull off, pick up damaged flap, pull off panel, go to dealer, get new flap, install, and back to work.
