I've searched these threads and google and still no OBX mud flaps I can find? Would a MOD like someone did on the rock rails work? I'm still getting a little bit of kick up between my fender flare and step up thing.

I've sounded this alert over and over, including suggesting this to manufacturers found on here. Nothing yet.

Strangley enough I was looking at just that while at my dealer today. I have an OBX on order, and they have a 2 door that I could take a look at to see if mud flaps could be modified to fit. I believe they can. I appears the flaps can be trimmed to fit past the side steps, and will fill in the gap between the step, and the bottom of the fender. I don't think I would buy an expensive set of flaps to cut as a test, but there are some reasonably priced ones out there that I think would work. I'm not sure how the finished product will look, but if they keep the rocks and crap off the body I would be OK.

I'd be willing to cut some down for a bit to get by.
If not I'm planning on putting Xpel over the handles, back fenders and that front little corner right between the front fender and step. I feel like that's a pricey way of doing it though.

It doesn't look like I'll be getting my OBX anytime soon. If you give trimming a set of flaps a try, please PM me to let me know if I'm right. I really think it can be done.
You're right, XPel will be pricey. And I don't think it would last long the way the Bronco is designed. The one I looked was was AntMatter Blue, and you could already see the mess rocks has caused when they get through that gap. I wish Ford had designed the Bronco like my Jeep Sahara. There's no gap between the fender, and the step so nothing gets between them.

Maybe I'll try the stock $50 ones and just cut off anything that hangs below the step. emailed my dealer.
Ordered and installed this universal set. Not perfect but does cover gap I was concerned with.

If you get a chance could you post a couple pics? That would be great. Those look like what I was thinking about before I spent to much, and messed up an expensive set.
Will do sir!If you get a chance could you post a couple pics? That would be great. Those look like what I was thinking about before I spent to much, and messed up an expensive set.
A bit shrewd but will work for now. Main goal was to cover the gap within tread pattern between step and tire. Ideally knock down some of the rocks and salt. Better than nothingIf you get a chance could you post a couple pics? That would be great. Those look like what I was thinking about before I spent to much, and messed up an expensive set.

Thank you brother. Looks fine to me.
Were there pre-existing holes or did you have to drill new ones?A bit shrewd but will work for now. Main goal was to cover the gap within tread pattern between step and tire. Ideally knock down some of the rocks and salt. Better than nothing
New ones with the short tap screws in kit. Ended up with only one in back of flare. There’s a spot on the non SAS flare where you can ensure you don’t come out other side. No harm no foul when better solution comes available.
