Mud Flaps

Here is the mudflaps I got included with my purchase from the dealer. I was expecting the gator style with stainless. But I m glad I got these instead. I had no say, its what was included with the truck as its the law to have mudflaps here! I am very happy with them, the all black matches the night edition package very good!

Just installed the Gator mud flaps with the mounting bracket, the bracket made rears easy and took the guess work out. The fronts, they took more time to make sure the final mounting was level, lets just say my OCD was high that day.

The Gator customer service was great as well, I somehow managed to jack up one of the bolts and the local hardware and auto part stores only had phillips head, and once again my OCD wouldn't have mismatched heads, they sent me couple at no extra charge.

I also used stainless nylon lock nuts in place of the lock washers that came with the kit. Those nuts also gave me more surface for my wrench and sockets.

Those are factory accessory Mopar/RAM rubber splashguards. I put them on mine and they're great for the low price I paid $46/pr.

Hard to find now.
 
Has anyone used the Rokblokz XL’s on their truck without fender flares? Debating between regular and XL. I am running stock size tires and probably always will.
The weathertech flaps look great but after this winter I need something that does a better job of keeping the spray off the truck and running boards.
Just wondering if the XL's will stick out to much and look somewhat odd. Pics would be great. Thanks in advance.
 
Have any of you guys treated the holes that you drill for mud flaps with a wax based spray?

I received my mudflaps and it recommends using a wax based spray for the holes that need to be drilled.
I'm not sure if I should be using one of those straw things and spraying inside the holes, or just applying to the outside. Comments please.
PS - The instructions are useless..

Which flaps are you installing? I used the duraflap drill-less ones. No need to drill any holes, just uses the factory ones.

@DougB - These are the ones that I bought. Did you use a wax based sealer as recommended in the instructions? If so, did you squirt inside the holes, or just around the outside, prior to installing the plastic rivets?

By Jove old chap, you're right!!
I just went out and took a look at the truck. The areas to be drilled are plastic.

Like I said in an earlier post, crappy instructions :rolleyes:

I don’t recall any such precaution. Although, being in TX I don’t worry much about such things.
 
It all worked out. I got them on. Had to do a couple of different things to make everything work. Not much room when you don’t remove the wheels, especially on the front.

I went with the RekGen Trophy sport. It’s as minimal as I could find. I don’t really like the look of mud flaps but my 35” Nitto RGs we’re gonna throw too much garbage on the rockers. I’ll post some pics in a bit.

How are you liking them so far? Would love to see pics when you have time.
 
Got Duraflaps, Have question.

There is a screw conflict with the spat screw - (black plastic lower body trim)

What did you do?

I feel like there are 3 choices
1) drill a relief hole in the back of mud flap
2) remove screw and drill an additional hole in flap.
3) just leave but Then the mudflap does NOT sit flush.

Same conflict Front and Rear. and I believe I was clear on the Duraflap form that I have a standard Laramie.

I believe my photos show the wrong screw removed... but the situation isn't changed.
