Mud Flaps

[SStokes]

My first post---just subscribed. I am a chevy convert. Bought a 24 valve in 99 (cab and chassis). Just traded for a 2001 dually with pickup bed. Need mud flaps. I looked at some but all attach to fiberglass fenders. Are they durable. What do you guys have and how do you like them. Thanks, I enjoy the forums very much.

I put the Dodge mud flaps on my '96' 3500 when it had around 40,000 miles on it. She now has 185,000 miles and the only minor problem (if you call it a problem) is they now have a slight curl. I've always thought it would look nice with a crome (or stainless steel for us here in snow and salt country) strip accross the bottom of each flap. Speaking of snow, these flaps have carried a lot of it and so far there is no sign of problems with the dually fenders. Hope this helps.

Pro-Flaps are what I have on my truck. They are made of heavy thermoplastic rubber, and are very stiff. Plus, they have a big stainless steel strip at the bottom. Looks real sharp! COunt on spending about $175 for a set of 4.

I have the Dodge flaps with stainless strip at the bottom purchased from the local truck stop.

(it's the only one I have with the mudflaps in it)



They've held up fine; although I take them off in the winter when plowing since backing through snow banks rips them off the fenders ,,, especially after getting 20 lbs of ice stuck to them besides.



I think Cummins makes a set the same size that wouldn't collect so much ice. The Dodge flaps are "anti spray" which means they hold ice from November to June.



I think I've also noticed Geno's selling a stainless strip to fit the bottom of duallie mudflaps.

I have the Dodge "Anti-Spray" flaps with Geno's chrome strips.

Here are the best mudflaps I could find: NWCustom



Plan on about $225 per set of two, but they will outlast you! Ignore the fingerprints... this pic was taken right as I was mounting them!

FYI. The 3500 fenders are not fiberglass, they are plastic. Makes a difference when they need to be repaired because they can't be repaired very well. I think Dodge intended that to sell more plastic fenders. If they were fiberglass, damage could usually be repaired successfully.

I have the Husky Liner Mudflaps. They dont cover as much as the big rubber ones, but they sportier. They are hard plastic and you can get them painted to match you truck. Just an idea

I have Dodge flaps w/chrome antisail strip (Genos) on bottom. I put them on with SS bolts & stop nuts w/ss 1 1/2" washers they look good and will be there for a loooooong time. Had to take a coupe of screws off inside of fender to get my hand/nuts/wrench up inside fender took about 1 1/2 hrs to install but went pretty smooth. gdlk

Thanks for the all the replies. You gave me some good ideas to think about. Pictures were nice--- I don't know how to do all that stuff yet. Working on it. Thanks again

NW Custom

Like Rob, I have NW Custom mud flaps on my Ram... front and rear, constructed of brushed stainless steel. I have had them on for just about two years now and they look just as good now as the day I installed them. These mud flaps are expensive however, they look great and functionally they can't be beat. I have the Rams Head emblem on my rear flaps and also have the weight area on all four flaps with the DODGE lettering cut out.



NW Custom also offers the Cummins "C" emblem for the center of the rear flaps as well as many additional cutout designs for the weight area. Rob decided against having any cutouts in the weight area however, I think I just about have him talked into acquiring a set of "Fear This" weights to replace his plain ones... they would go well with his "Fear This" emblems he has on his Cowl Induction hood.
