Custom Sasquatch OBX Mud Flaps

[JMY217]

I used some ideas from a few different posts and made a custom mud flap that I'm pretty pleased with. I have a 4 door OBX with Sasquatch package and side steps. I frequently drive gravel trails and roads when in the Adirondacks and wanted to protect the paint.

I used a black gym equipment mat from Home Depot that I had previously bought in order to use as a cheap solution for the bed (also worked wonderfully). The material is very durable and flexible.

I first created a cardboard template, and then used 3 existing nylon screw mounts plus 1 additional location inside the fender flare as mounting points. I used #10x1" stainless screws and washers to secure it.

Nice work!

It solves your problem, you did it, and it was cheap. Win, win, win.

My 2 cents, might cut the other edge to a curved diagonal so it kinda flows with the flare a bit better... But that might reduce the rock blocking, so looks versus purpose...

Again, great work!

Looks good for what they are. I may have rounded the bottom corners to make it look more subtle.

That was my concern, that it wouldnt be wide enough to cover the width of the tire, reducing the effectiveness. But as others suggested I may round off that bottom corner.

Thats a great idea, may do that.

Ain't for everyone, no worries.

Try some type of small spacer for the bolts to go through between the truck and the flaps.
So you don’t get that “curve” towards the tire on the outside portion.

I may not be explaining that well and I’m sorry for that.

I need a solution for this asap for myself.
So I’m very interested in everyone’s ideas on this
