WeatherTech !

Installed last weekend front and rear mud flaps. Easy to install ! NO DRILLING !!! They are using the excisting holes for the inner fender and oem fender flares. Every hole you drill = RUST !

The "drilling" on most if not all of these is into the liner.

Never seen plastic rust, but what do I know?

There are far too many options, that's for sure. And at $60/plate, I'm not about to basically double the cost of my mudflaps for some pretties haha.
Yeah that was why I bought the flaps without plates - to save money, only to loose to the urge to buy stuff for my Ranger baby!
Its been almost a month since I bought anything, I think I am getting this under control!

That's why I went plain SS with mine. Leaves a nice plate I can tinker with if it I want :)

One of the reasons I liked the Gatorbacks. No drilling plus lifetime tear-off warranty is really hard to beat.

So you want to explain to me that some of the brands attach there mud flaps to the felt liner ? Thats sounds long lasting !

Perhaps I misspoke with liner? Trim? Regardless, the majority I've seen that "require drilling" are drilling into plastic, not metal.

"No drill" is pretty much a marketing term in my eyes.

The Weathertech flaps are no drill, you remove some of the screws in the wheel well and attach with the screws and added clips that come with them.

My GatarBack plates arrived. Left the fronts plain as they are more or less hidden by the running boards.
Plan to remove the decal on the bed now.

Did Weathertech on mine on all 4. Best move I made to date. Don’t think it took more than an hour and a half to put them on. Didn’t remove any tires to do them ether. This winter has been a good test for them and I couldn’t be happier. They look like they belong on there too!

Did you edit the picture to hide your license plate or do you have some kind of cover on it?

I put RokBloks on. Original size, black on black. No drilling required. They are somewhat adjustable, and I put them all the way inboard. The mudflaps stick out just a bit past the stock tire. If I ever get bigger tires, the mudflaps can be repositioned about an inch out.
