Gatorback Mud Flaps

[boondocker97]

Now that I've got a truck in need of a set of mud flaps, I came across some pretty slick looking ones made by Gatorback. They look good and appear to be heavy duty, but they have a heavy duty price tag to go along with them. Anyone running them, and are they worth the price of admission?

I got gatorbacks with my '18 F350. Unfortunately, the dealer removes them before selling any used truck. I asked for them back, and got a box full of hardware to install when I drove home. The rear braces turned out to be for a F150. So I mounted the gatorbacks up front and bought weather tech mud flaps in the rear. The gatorbacks are definitely heavy duty rubber, and use stout brackets. But they're difficult to install and align, so you easily end up with mud spray down the side if not mounted just right. While flimsier, the weather techs are wayyy cheaper, offer better side coverage and a much simpler install. Pics attached for reference. The truck is dirty, but maybe that makes a better real life example...

I put these on any truck I own. My last truck I put on about 150,000 km over 8 years of mix gravel and highway. they still looked like brand new when I sold the truck

My subaru still have OEM mud flaps. Here is the mud flap https://www.subarupartspros.com/sku/j1010fg010.html. Still not planning on changing it.

I've got the Husky kickbacks on my truck. They work great.
