Yes that is them. The rears fit with some tweaking to the top holes (make oblong) and drill new holes for bottom 2. Front takes some work. Heat gun and trimming. Had to loosen one side to get it on ( tightened and moved forward after). Glad to have some rock protection on there!
Are there any how to install videos out there?

I just installed the Gatorback ones from Sharptruck.com, they are not Bronco branded (which I very much prefer) and should hold up for ever. Still expensive and I only got them for the front to protect the sides and keep crap from piling up on the rear fenders. Seem very high quality, they'll last the lifetime of the truck for sure. And I love how easy it is to slide out the lower rubber part for more clearance on trails. I do have a Badlands with Squatch, so needed something that works with the rock rails and I wasn't gonna cut my rails to fit some cheap flaps. If I ever change to different rails or steps I'll just sell everything as a package and get what ever flaps fit or are available then.

I do wish I'd have a lift or other option to get the truck elevated and the tires removed, had to contort myself a good bit to get everything on there, but very happy with the outcome. Will try them in a gravel lot tomorrow, mud or snow are far away from me (thankfully).
I just took delivery of the FORD branded Gatorback mud flaps for my SAS Badlands. I like the fact they are made (cut out) for the rock rails and I am really impressed by the quality of the product.

I got a pretty good deal on them (still expensive) but I'm not looking forward to the install because I don't have a lift and won't be removing the wheels.

Weather Tech now has no drill mudflaps for the Badlands SAS, it took me about 1 hour to install the Front Flaps. I’m told they will soon have the mudflaps for the rear. Just and FYI.

Just looked at Sharptruck. Seems they’ll work with rock rails not tube steps. I’m about to order the WeatherTech ones just as a stop gap measure until something else comes along.

Are the flaps the same color as the flares? Just wondering how much contrast the eye will be drawn to. Hard to tell in pics on a phone screen.

I donā€˜t believe the Ford ones work with SAS and Rock Rails….if they do I’m switching out of the Weather Tech.

They will but you have to do some mods to them.

You mean except for the huge gap. My Ford front flaps don’t look great, but they don’t have a gap. They also held up to pretty decent off-roading so far.
