A couple of mud flap questions

[renewedcaper]

Thanks for the great pics. Looks like tire removal is necessary, is that right?

Looks really straight forward. Not sure if I like the red logo though.

You can get them all black or another color logo.

I have a set on order as well. All black. Thanks for the video, that will be helpful!

I just ordered these. Good reviews and are supposedly identical to OEM w/o the Ford logo and much cheaper.

I thanked the wrong person for the video. Thanks, Andrew in Pocatello, from Andrew in Denver.

They swapped the logo after they filmed the install. I have the grey, but honestly I’d do black if I was to do it again. The grey is a bit light.

Can you post a pic please?

This is the front. Had to drill some small holes in the plastic for the plastic pins

James, sorry for the late reply. The WeatherTech looks like Bob's above. I didn't have to drill anything though. There is a small clip for the inside of the flap with the WeatherTechs that is the booger, because of the material that Ford uses for the liner. I actuallty dropped one of those little clips, and you know I couldn't find the thing in my blue stone driveway. Didn't really matter as the flaps ain't going anywhere anyway. They've been on the truck for 5000 miles without any problems.

Just installed these yesterday. Piece of cake. They look good and fit perfectly.

Go Gatorback or Rokblokz. Especially on a Tremor!
I liked the former, but did look at both.
At the same time I was putting the molded style on my wife's minvan. Sorry guys who went this route, but I just couldn't put the same on my truck! LOL ?

I put the WeatherTech no drill flaps on the front of my Ranger. They do the job, but they are a bit of a bitch to install on the Ranger because of the inner wheel liner. But, it's doable if you have any mechanical ability at all.

BTW, they do not interfer with the gas mileage one bit.

I also installed the Weather Tech flaps and for sure the inner fender liner was a lot tougher to get open than the instructions indicated. The other nit was just because 2 pieces of hardware were in the same bag it didn't mean they went together. A screw from one bag went with a clip from another. Funny thing is Weathertech gives you a torx bit to get the very bottom screws out of the wheel lip opening but my truck didn't have anything both sides---a parts delete or just missed on the assembly line.

I also went Ford OEM "splash guards" and you do drill, but it's into the plastic wheel well liner and not into any metal. They don't seem to have any mileage effect with my stock steelies and I don't see that they'd add much place to hold dirt, although dirt does get in there but it's easily washed out.

I've got the HDX stainless nerf steps and they are far from the splash guards, no interference at all.

One thing to note is that these are very rigid, they are not flexible at all (if you hit a rock or branch, it won't bend out of the way).

Dirt does find its way between the molded part of the splash guard and the wheel well trim.

Good clearance from the side steps.

Plastic pins are placed into drilled holes. The front also uses an existing T25 screw. Plus there are a few clips that hold the splash guard to the wheel trim. Seems pretty secure.

LOL, the dirt behind the guard is from transport of the new truck - I didn't have the dealer detail or clean the truck.

I got those too.
Clean install and look. Sturdy enough for my pavement princess. Keeps some of the road debris off the side of the truck and that's what I was aiming for.

Put them on and you could be single again!?
