Just being a smartass here, but Ford didn't think an OBX would get dirty

I'm sure there's some dirt in mall parking lots, and a couple pot-holes for an "off road" experience.

That'll most likely be my obx sas, still don't want rock chips and constantly dirty.

Serious question. If the OBX has SAS and Advanced 4x4 w/ 4.7 Rear Locking Diff how would it be less capable that any other Bronco (w/o the sway bar disconnect)?

I couldn't find a good picture but that fishing expedition obx in rapid red has some kind of mud flaps on it. They didn't look like the gator ones.

"Ford built the concepts primarily to show off the accessories that will be available when the Bronco and Bronco Sport begin deliveries. Hence, the Bronco four-door Outer Banks Fishing Guide concept sports a Yakima LockNLoad Platform roof rack, a fishing pole holder and seat perch built around the SUV's fender-mounted trail sights, a Ford Performance modular front bumper and safari bar, a slide-out tailgate, all-weather floor mats, and splash guards."

I measured a 1/2" gap. I ordered these from amazon to see if they will work. If not, they can be returned. I will update when I find out how they work.

Apparently, a member of B6G owns the company that makes these!

Is there any update on whether or not you got any mud flaps to work?

They don't work, sadly.

So still nothing?

I'm picking up my Outer Banks tomorrow and I was hoping we would have a solution for the mudflaps by now. Living in New England I really need something.

I am debating trimming mine. The post in this thread from 5 December by @j_anderson shows how he trimmed the steps successfully.

Thanks for posting. But that's a bit more than i can do. I hope someone comes out with something soon. I'm looking into PPF but the expense is crazy.

I installed the Ford molded flaps on our OBX Squatch but didn’t want to deal with moving the steps so cut them to fit over the step and along the flares. I was following a post where someone did the same thing for rock rails.

If you’re careful and trim multiple times you can get it to fit quite tight. Ours isn’t great but isn’t horrible. Got it pretty tight to the step but could have done better with the line along the flare. The important part is that it allows us to drive without tearing up the paint until the aftermarket comes up with a proper solution that doesn’t cost $600. Also installed the rears which just required re-drilling 3 holes on each flap and drilling 2 new holes in the plastic bumper on each side.

I might just put a separate post up since people are still posting looking for a solution.

The only solution is washing the Bronco.
