DIY Mud Flaps, functional, low cost, and low profile

[Rem234]

IMO the mud flap options so far are not very good. The Weather techs look weird and everything else I have seen looks like it belongs on a semi.

I purchased these universal flaps from Amazon for $18. With some trimming and a little bit of heat, I was able to get them to fit up where they look nice (almost unnoticeable which is my goal) and should function well.

I was able to use the three existing factory fender liner fastener holes. I even reused two of the stock fasteners on each side. For the bottom hole the factory clip was not long enough so I used a metal clip nut and a screw. I did have to trim a small amount of plastic off of the inside of the fender flare to get them to sit down flush.

I'm pretty happy with how they turned out and my total investment cost is $18. And since I am only putting flaps on the front I still have two more to replace these with down the road if needed.

Very very nice, just ordered me a set. I didn't think I needed them till I heard something ping the drivers door the other day. All the others I had seen were to expensive and ugly, these almost disappear. I wonder if the wife would get upset if I throw a set of chrome ladies on them?

Here is the link for the mud flaps, got mine ordered before the Bronco community snatches them all up.

LOL maybe she would be okay with it if you painted the ladies to color match the bronco?
Yeah the chips are crazy, we originally had factory rock rails and when I took them off at 4k miles they had chips in them already.

I don't have any rails or steps at this time. but we were driving down the interstate the other day and I heard it, I looked when we stopped and didn't see anything luckily.

Someone asked for dimensions on the template so I figured I would share with everyone.

This is outstanding, thank you

Nice work. After the Rokblokz release recently, I have a feeling a detailed post like this will find a good number of fans like me.

I was excited about the Rokblokz ones - until I saw the price. Ooba-dooba!

See if this is about correct. I drew it up to scale in cad. The Full Size will need to be large paper. The MudFlapLetter PDF is split into 3 pages that can be print out on normal letter size paper, Just cut and tape it together to make the template. I do not have my bronco yet so I really don't know if the scale is correct.

When I am back at work next week I will try to print that out and then put it over my template!
