Can you share a link to the non branded gator backs?

I got the gator backs day one and love them. heavy duty rubber and plates are heavy. Bottoms easily detach. If you shop around ebay and other sites you can find them much lower than dealer/website retail. I had my plates powder coated all gloss black so it blends in the silver bronco lettering that was originally on them. Did it at the same time I did the silver beauty rings.

Breaker bar?

Rekgen trophy sport has been adequate for me, and pretty straightforward install. They have stopped the gravel spit, and look clean. I just bought the front at first and thought they were good but buying the rear now too since I added a high end bike rack and pivot. Well worth it. And cheaper than others.

Edit: I should also add, I compared to my friends rokblokz and we could not discern why the rokz were 2.5x more expensive. Basically identical.

Did you get stock or XL length?

I’ve been happy with the Rekgen Trophy Sport front mud flaps! It’s kept the rocks and wet leaves after it’s rained off my Bronco, and it’s got a sleek minimal look.

Did the Rekgen come with instructions?

The OEM flaps are great for the price.

stock. Yes, the Rekgen came with very clear instructions.

I have a Badlands Sasquatch on order. I'm going to remove the rock rails and install side steps.

The ones that I looking at are:

1. Rokblokz
2. RekGen
3. Mabett

I went with Mabett on my Sasquatch Badlands

I have rekgen installed and I'm digging them so far. They fit nicely with squatch and factory steps. I can send pics if needed/wanted.

How do you like them?

How does well do the fit (front and rear)?

Any drilling?

Easy install?

Do you feel like they are quality like the RokBlokz?

Oreily has a set of size C mud flaps for $15 that look much better than most of the offerings they have for the Bronco right now.

Silly question — but is there a reason why most of the mudflap designs I’ve seen are solid plastic rather than firm but flexible rubber? If the ultimate goal of mudflaps is to block ejected ground debris then wouldn’t rubber also do the job while also being flexible enough to not snap into pieces if they catch a rock or the curb at an awkward angle?

I ask because these plastic mudflaps look like they’d shatter or snap off if the tire they’re mounted on hops off a rock or a curb and snags it just right.

Maybe it’s to keep them from flapping, basically killing the point once you get up to speed. I had a set of Rokblokz on my Tacoma and they seemed to flex pretty well over the rocks. Mudflaps in general aren’t really made for crawling over rocks, which is why you don’t really see people running them on the harder trails.

mine are $15 so I don’t mind if they snap off. So far, they just make a ton of noise going over the rocks

I ordered a set of XL sports but they didn't come with instructions. I emailed Rekgen but haven't heard back from them. Would like to have instructions if someone has them.
