Do splash guards/mud flaps exist for Sasquatch w/ tube steps without modification? If not, why not?

[tjnoffy]

I've searched high and low, here and Google, and can't figure out why I can't find splash guards or mud flaps for my Sas OBX with tube steps. Below is not my rig, but shows why I'm seeking these. This can't be a rare configuration, so I can't understand why there isn't a @Ford Motor Company or third party solution yet. I saw one post that suggested cutting off part of the tube step to allow one pair to fit, but I am not doing that. Point me in the right direction if I've missed something. Thanks!

That picture is almost what the side of mine looks like after city/highway driving... so front mud flaps seem like a requirement.

I ordered the factory ones and have them installed OK on the rears. With the larger Sas flares, the fronts do not fit. I knew they were designed for the standard flares, but I am hoping to trim them to see if I can get them installed until a proper solution exists.

If successful, I will post the result.

Thanks. And do you have the tube steps (running boards) on yours? The tube steps are the problem for me, so far.

Any splash guard products at SEMA 2021 for the new Bronco?

Oh! Good Question. Watching this thread.

I've read that swapping the tube steps to the opposite sides will create enough room for mud flaps to be installed on the front. Can anyone confirm this? I was looking to just get the plain flaps from Ford accessories. Crazy that they haven't made mud flaps for those of us with factory tube steps. https://accessories.ford.com/products/bronco-2021-gatorback-molded-front-splash-guard-pair-1

Interesting that the picture of Ford mud flaps at the link above shows them installed with a rock rail, yet the Details state, "not compatible with rock rails". I want mud flaps, too, and my WT will have tube steps.

Welcome to my world. None fit on non sas with a step, either.

No. When you go to order them it says they won't work with tube steps. Plus they are stupid expensive. And I'm not using slang. It's stupid how much they cost.

get a set of universal flaps from Rokblok or Rally armor. that would prob be the easiest and cheapest way to go

They don't fit a Bronco with a step. I've already tried fitting generic universal mud flaps and they just don't work due to flares, crash bars, and the step. Rock rail will be the same issue.

There’s going to be so many Broncos with hideous mud flaps lol.

I called Ford Performance and asked that this issue be elevated to Engineering.

Found both the fronts and backs for $100 less than what Ford was asking.... Crazy!
