Gatorbacks front and rear. Have worked out phenomenally. Like how the lower half can be easily removed when I need the clearance too. Has blocked the thrown rocks from the tires greatly.

Me too. If you shop around and wait for discounts they're way less than $500 a pair I got mine for $240 a pair last Christmas from Ford accesories. Still pricey but very high quality and they work.

I installed the Rekgen XL flaps on my Wildtrak the other day. It's a super simple install, and they seem well made. They look good (I went with the simple Rekgen logo in black) and extend out to cover the entire rocker panel. I'm installing the Havoc Offroad Trailercrawler steps when they arrive, and I don't think I'll need to do any modifications.

The only thing that I didn't love is that the rear mud flaps screw into a plastic section of the bumper, without a positive connection to anything behind it. I'd have preferred there be a nut or something, but I'm not sure if there's access to that section of the bumper without removing pieces. I might try to make something work on my own.

Edit: Added pictures.

Does RokBlokz or RekGen works on 35s with 0 offset? I have a set of Mabett on my WT the new tries rub at full lock it's driving me crazy.

No clue. You'd need to call them. I'm on stock Wildtrak wheels with the Goodyear 35" tires.

Thanks, any issues with your OEM Goodyear 35s?

Nope! No rubbing whatsoever.

I ended up getting the Mabett Fr/Rr set. Installed yesterday. They have upgraded the bolts to stainless steel (but not the washers or nuts). The Mabett and IAG flaps are made by the same production source and are nearly identical in design. Not sure if the IAG version is coming with stainless bolts or not. One drawback is the top mounting bolt for the front flaps interferes with the lever for the fender flare...the bolt has to be backed out in order to engage/disengage the lever. Coverage seems to be pretty good without being overly bulky. We'll see how they hold up, but I'm happy so far.

Went with WeatherTech as a cheaper stop gap option for the Sierra snow this season. So far so good. The front design is a little hokey because of the gap between the flare and the mud flap but there has not been a lot of snow build up on the rear flares. The included pictures are taken right after driving in 3 miles of slushy snow and 1.5 miles in 6" of Sierra cement. I did cut 5" off the back flaps cause I didn't like the look of the full length. Installation was pretty simple and they can be removed in 10 minutes if you decide you want to take them off.

I’m kinda leaning towards the RokBlokz, but I wonder why they have to be pre-assembled before installation. At $400, you’d think they would be ready to install. Oh well, gives me something to do .

I will say the RokBlokz are super-stout, you can see where the money goes with the plastics and steel mounting brackets. I was going to mount my Original Longs but want to wait until the dealer checks out the manual noise, I might anyway and just remove them before service, I do like the quick-disconnect.

I just added the IAG fronts to mine. I like them best as they’re reasonably priced, good quality, bolts are SS and brackets a powder coated steel. And they fit the SAS just right I am OBX with the boards.
I saw no reason to add tears since there’s nothing but 4 inches of bumper behind.

I went with Mabbett…installation was simple and straight forward. I was impressed with quality. Very well made and metal is heavy duty. already ordered an other set for my 23 on order.

Nice! I can’t seem to find the rear flaps online. Also, the front flaps are currently unavailable on Amazon. Mabett doesn’t seem to have their own website, everything goes through Amazon. Weird.
