How to Install Gatorback Mud Flaps

[@MuleSkinnerWS]

they look great, put I don't feel like I wanna drill holes in my fenders and box. seems like a good way to let road salt start the rusting process

[@pranksterDoug]

Yeah you would think they would make a mounting bracket to go over the pre-existing oem holes.

[@tanner.fletcher]

@@pranksterDoug this is a late reply but they actually do have no body drill mud flaps.

Exactly lost me at that point, didn’t need to see more because instantly knew i’m not installing anything that requires drilling into the truck. With today’s technology no one should have to, jmo…

[@reddeerrebelrc6674]

Factory looks better

[@MrKstitzel]

couldn't you just take the old mud flap and lay it on top of the new one and line up where your holes would be?

[@Realtruck]

That would work, depending on the application. It's a great idea just doesn't work for every application.

I have Bushwacker flares on my 2015 Highcountry 1500 would you advise taking them off to do this or could I leave it on and give it a go?

[@gingie5246]

I think these are cool but in my application I need ones that are longer to accommodate my larger tires. I’ll stick to my cut in half semi flaps.

Did you pre drill holes, or did you just eye ball the screw the the pre existing holes on the truck already?

[@Realtruck]

+Andrew Warelis We did not pre drill the holes. The screws that come with the kit are self taping. Make sure you are on level ground then measure the bottom of the mud flap to the ground, make sure each corner is the same distance to the ground and drive a self taping screw in.

[@andrewwarelis9346]

+RealTruck.com what your saying is you didn't use the pre existing holes at all? Just made new holes with the self tapping screws?

[@Realtruck]

+Andrew Warelis Every Vehicle will be different. We did end up using the existing holes yet the self tapping screw was a bit larger. If you do not have existing holes that line up with a correct fitment of the mud flaps, just push the self tapping screw through.

If you have an aluminum body truck wheel well...be careful with galvanic corrosion or dissimilar Metal contact. Steel self tapping Steel screws into aluminum....a recipe for corrosion. Just saying. Nice flaps, maybe set up a drill free install bracket.

Great tutorial, as always! I always look forward to the outake at the very end. I did have a question regarding gatorbadk mud flaps, 6" inch lift and 35" tires. Are they wide enough, long enough? There's nothing weirder looking than a super skinny mud flap on wide mudders. Not to mention, it's illegal here in Arizona.

[@Realtruck]

Alejandro Felix it really depends on how wide your tires are. These are actually 12w x 23L and you can see more on them here: www.realtruck.com/gatorback-mud-flaps/R184112P2015Y857MA.html or if that is not wide enough you can put a dually set on and you can see those here: www.realtruck.com/mud-flaps/dually/R204369.html if you have any more questions on these or any of the other over 500000 accessories we sell please feel free to call one of our awesome Customer Service peeps at 877-216-5446 they would be excited to help you.

[@KMT15]

You should show an install on a dually

[@Realtruck]

+KMT15 great idea. Keep checking back. You never know when that might show up.

[@wolfman9913]

umm...did anybody else notice that he moved it AFTER he measured??🤔🤣🤣🤣👎FAIL

[@aaddvvnnttrr5317]

Hate drilling people's brand new fenders for this

[@williewideback]
