OEM mud flaps any good?

[murrman]

I’m looking to get mud flaps for my 2024 2-Door Black Diamond. I don’t need anything super fancy, and I don’t want to spend a ton of money. Are the OEM Ford ones any good, or should I look at aftermarket brands? I’d ideally like to spend under $200 (under $150 would be even better).

The Ford molded mud flaps won't fit the Black Diamond or Badlands unless you modify them.

Thanks. I think I’m going to go with the Mabett ones.

It's kind of frustrating as according to Ford the M2DZ-16A550-AA fit all the Broncos below according to Ford but that seems to not be the case?

2025 Ford Bronco Badlands, Base, Big Bend, Heritage Edition, Outer Banks, Raptor, Stroppe Edition 2.3L L4 - Gas, 2.7L V6 - Gas, 3.0L V6 - Gas

Mabett did not fit my 25 badlands sas good at all. Good news is easy return but still wasted my time trying to install. Cheap junk.

According to this the molded mud flaps are not compatible with rock rails, step bars, and a few other accessories. Where did you read that they'd fit the 2025 Badlands?

I found the Mabatt flaps to be anything but junk. My only gripe is an exposed screw on the rear flaps that could have easily been placed an inch closer to the center of the vehicle to make it invisible.

Fordparts.ca when I put my VIN in it says they fit.

Not sure about the Canadian version. But when I put my VIN in it said door storage bag M2DZ-10C744-A wouldn't fit. It does.

Same thing on my RokBlokz. You could paint that screw head black to make it blend in.

I'll throw a shout out here for Bro-Flaps. They will make sure what you get fits, and the kits have everything you need.

They don't look the most distinctive, but they are a solid purchase from some dude that cares about what he's doing.

I had the Weather-tech ones, and they looked good, but my tires started to rub against them. Replaced them with these Bro Flaps - they don't look quite as distinctive, but they don't look bad either, and work as well at blocking mud (maybe better, because they mold around my JKS-modified fender well perfectly)

I got them back in December with some points I had. Website said they would fit even with the running boards. Apparently, they do not fit. Haven't installed them, just placed up to the vehicle where they should go and they rub against the running boards. I may try to see if I can loosen the running boards and slide them down when I have some time when work is done for the summer.

I plan on doing that and also the threads on the other side of the bolt that show in the wheel well. I may even check out to see if I have them in black in my box of spare bolt, nuts, washers and other stuff lol

I think I’m going to return the Mabett’s as well. I struggled getting the first one installed, and I gave up. The hole that’s supposed to use one of the leftover Phillips-head clips didn’t line up correctly.

I’m not sure what to try next. The thing I liked about the Mabett’s is they seemed to blend in with the fender flares. I’m not a huge fan of how a lot of the flaps look like they are just bolted on strips of plastic (even though that’s essentially what they are).

Another endorsement for the Bro-Flaps. They fit my Badlands well and line up pretty well with the flares. The front ones are pretty straight forward on the install. The rear requires a little more effort to get them lined up and straight, but all tools and directions are provided for that install. Some drilling in the plastic wheel well liner is required, but not difficult.

Just make sure you specify your exact model. They make them to fit each configuration. They are very helpful with any questions and support their product very well.
