Mabett Mud Flap install - 6th Gen Ford Bronco

Bronco Mabett brand mud flaps Wildtrak Sasquatch install front only.
Video details the complete process of installing the Mabett-branded front mud flaps on a 2022 4-door Wildtrak Ford Bronco. If you are wondering how to accomplish, or if you are curious about their appearance, this will hopefully provide some information. This is one way to stop the wheel spray and mud from the front tires from trashing the side off your Bronco and door handles.

Thank you very much for the feedback!

[@garretkom]

Best and most thorough video so far!

[@jeffiovine4577]

Thank you for the kind words and checking out the channel!

[@anthonygallo3576]

Well i ordered them , got them today, seem pretty heavyy duty. Your video is the best tutorial out there. The one mabbet put out is a joke. I will let u know how i make out

[@jeffiovine4577]

Awesome! I’m confident you’re gonna really like them. Thank you for the feedback!

[@KIckAssPinball]

Just ordered these for the Wife's Bronco!! BTW move your wheels before you install and it's much easier to do the install.

[@jeffiovine4577]

Thanks for the tip!

[@stephtraveler7378]

Nice job. Those actually look pretty good. Mabett is making some nice affordable options for the Bronco.

[@jeffiovine4577]

Thank you for the feedback. After having them on for a week, still loving the look and quality. They cost a little more than some options, but the quality and appearance is worth every bit of that.

[@keithfitterer6899]

Did you put them on the rear? They look really good!

[@1djtraxx]

Thanks for making this video, but you didn’t even show which screw to use on the final hole. Maybe it will be obvious when I’m doing it, but it would be nice if you showed it.

[@jeffiovine4577]

At time 6:30 I show it, and refer to installing “the last expansion screw”. It is the same plastic expansion insert and screw the was originally in that spot installed by Ford. The one that holds liner in place at that spot, that you remove earlier at time 1:12, is reinstalled through mud flap. Hope that helps. And thanks for watching.

great video!

Thank you very much for the feedback and visit!

[@anthonygallo3576]

Every mud flap video , regardless od brand is a pain to install. Why cant someone make a mud flap that just screw into the trim with no removal. Thats how the ones on my wildtrack came for thr rear. Great vid

[@jeffiovine4577]

I know what you mean, and thank you!!

[@hadtocheathimtobeathim6549]

Ford mud flaps do just that but they’re cheap and flexible. I don’t know why this job seems hard for you. Can you pump your own gas?

[@michaelarneson6498]

Thanks Brother

You’re welcome! Thanks for checking out the channel!

[@craiga6214]

That last expansion screw….do you just reuse the one that came out?

[@jeffiovine4577]

That is correct. It was the expansion screw that was originally in that spot. 👍🏻

[@brianhumphrey8494]

I was at the finish line screwing the 3rd, inner bolt and it’s just spinning and there’s nothing there to secure it. This is the bolt not on the bracket - any thoughts? - thanks and great video

[@jeffiovine4577]

Do you have any other / extra of the plastic/scew fasteners. Maybe the one your using is stripped? That hole on the vehicle that you’re putting the fastener in is empty - so it is just the screw grabbing the interior of the plastic plug and pulling it towards the screw head which flattens/expands the plug body so it grips inside that hole. If the threading inside the plug got damaged or stripped, the screw will just spin and it won’t be able to collapse the fastener to lock it into the hole. I bought a kit with a variety of those plugs on Amazon but they may also sell them at the AutoZone if you didn’t want to wait to get extra plugs. And thank you for the kind remarks. 👍🏻

[@brianhumphrey8494]

@@jeffiovine4577 it was operator error - that inner slot takes the factory pin plug and not the screw that goes into the bracket. I used the pin plug with an extra long screw to secure it - thanks

These look amazing, Thanks for Vid. Where did you buy these? I am in Canada hope I can get them over here

I bought them off off Amazon. This link should work: www.amazon.com/dp/B0B42BK4J2?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Are the stock running boards in the OEM position...I have the Weathertech flaps and they kind of are bent ahead a little bit because the running boards push them forward. Thinking about switching to the Mabett.

[@jeffiovine4577]

There is no interference at all with the mudflap and the running board. If you look in the end of the video right after I get it installed, but before I put the brow on, you can see how the mudflap has separation from the running board. It’s a perfect fit with no interference of the mudflap with the OEM runningboards. 👍🏻

[@keithfitterer6899]

Can anyone answer why manufacturers go with Allen bolts instead of bolts or screws?? Very frustrating to work with Allen wrenches!

[@jeffiovine4577]

My guess; very affordable way to include the “tool”, so the kit can be sold as “everything you need” is included. I do find the Allen bolt sufficient for a “plastic” product such as this. Not much torque required (or desired) to fasten these parts. But I agree, they can be annoying.

[@stevegreathouse3157]

I love their look but ours rub like crazy on our Sas at 3/4 turn. Are you having the same issue?

[@jeffiovine4577]

I did not. My vehicle was a stock Sasquatch however on wheels / suspension. Not sure if you have done any mods that may have changed geometry. (I recently traded my Wildtrak with Sasquatch package for B-Raptor. But I put 3500 miles on the Wildtrak with those mudflaps and never had a problem)

[@anthonygallo3576]

Looks like the easiest mud flap yet .. let me ask you this, can you have done the install without removing the fender brow?

[@jeffiovine4577]

It might be possible, but it wouldn’t be practical. It’s literally a 60 second job to pull off the fender flare. I know the first time you do it it feels uncomfortable because it requires a significant force to unsnap it. But you truly won’t do any harm. And once you get comfortable, you may even want you may take them off occasionally to clean the paint finish between the flare and the vehicle. But yes, the first time you do it, you may feel like you’re breaking something. Access to the liner and bolts. You have to remove would be much harder with the flare, and most likely not possible in the area where the flare overlaps the mudflap

[@rayocaballo6122]

Great video

[@jeffiovine4577]

Thanks!

[@Sknightr411]

Hey Thanks for the vid. I believe we saw you at Holly Oaks. I would love to know if these keep snow and water off the back door and wheel flare. Would like to hear back. Do you have a KZbin email.

[@jeffiovine4577]

The front mud flap is very effective for keeping the mud and spray off of the doors, both for the front (if only a 2-door, as well as the rear seat doors, in the case of the 4-door. If also keeps the wheel flares far cleaner. Nothing is perfect, as spray from the tires can still find the door in cross winds and turns to some degree. But it seems to essentially eliminate the spray caused by your front tires. Ultimately, the difference in how much dirt and road film ends up on my door and door handles is dramatically different since installation. Completely happy with the result. I have updated the channel to include my email. Thanks!

[@brandonhoud42]

Curious as to why the flare has to come off?

[@jeffiovine4577]

Access to bolt on the flap. Maybe not impossible. But impractical. Look at the tolerances of the flap, and how close the brow is to it on the aft side after the flare/brow is attached and overlapping mudflap. I can remove brow in under one minute, so why leave it on?
