Install Gatorback rear flap question

[threeonone]

I'm reading that some people say you don't have to drill the bumper to install these, others say you do. Some say you don't have to remove the wheel. Seems like it would be hard to drill without removing the wheel. Mine are on order and just wondering what to expect here in terms of install.

Don't have to remove just turn it for better access. Easy install

I remember it being pretty easy. It was over a year ago so I don’t remember all the details. I do remember the instructions were awful and spending more time deciphering than installing.

I don't believe the rear wheels turn

Good point I was thinking fronts. I did all 4 with no tire/wheel removal.

No drilling required. Extremely easy.

Any pic. S of installed Gatorbacks? Have them on my F350 and they re heavy duty.

Just wondering how they look on Bronco, how low they sit, etc. Thx

They are a 2 piece system, where the bottom piece can slide out for when you go off-roading. I'll take a pic on/off tonight for you.

Nice! Looks like they keep road grim, snow, mud, etc off sides!!

They do - I have been very happy with them. I don't love mud flaps, but these are the best looking ones (in my opinion) and do protect from rocks and other crap flying up. And as someone stated above, you can easily slide out the bottom rubber part of the mud flap to gain some extra ground clearance quickly.

I snapped an on/off before after and rear comparison.

Part of me wants to just run mine like this now

Looks user friendly. Guessing there’s a lip in the channel where you slide off/on that holds them in place.
Thx again.
