Mud Flaps

I was thinking of adding some rubber mud flaps to my truck...

Something like this...

Unless you are towing an expensive travel trailer or cattle/horse trailer there is no need for a setup like that. IMO mud flaps just get in the way, I have had 3 sets on 2 trucks. Both stainless sets got bent up beyond repair, one while plowing snow and the other getting to a job site. And with the rubber set the both fronts got ripped right off the truck once on a job site and once while playing in the mud. So I just stopped putting them on, with the wheel/tire setups on my both my trucks the tires stick out past the fenders anyway so flaps aren't going to help. But to each his own.

When I saw a thread for mudflaps, the 1st thought that came to mind was a set of flaps to cover the 20x12" rims and 33x15.50 tires, ala Bro-truck status.

Then I saw the pictures and learned that they are full-coverage sweepers, ala ranch truck/grandpa status.

IF you want them, get them. The cars behind you will be greatful.
