Default Gatorback offset no drill brackets and mudflaps

Installed new gator back 5/8ths offset mudflaps today, install was very easy as there is a how to video on youtube. Should provide more protection over the stock flaps for winter in canada.

Those do look like they'll give a LOT more protection than the OEM Ford plastic mudflaps.

Not a huge fan of the chrome logos, but if the goal is protection from stones (salt, sand, etc.), you seem to have made a wise choice.

Those look great. A bit too much chrome for me but they will do the job for sure. I love the gatorback mudflaps but damn are they not cheap. Mind me asking what the set cost you?

I was use to the black gatorbacks as well and was a but shocked when I opened these up but the chrome grows on you haha, the front and rear flaps were 255$ each list price and to install these you need the no drill brackets which are a pain in the *** the first time you put them on and this is coming from a heavy duty mechanic haha, the brackets are 120$ rear 90$ front and the whole set up was 804$ but my buddies dad runs the offroad shop in town so I got them for 500$ out the door.

I got the molded weathertechs, they're ok but work like garbage with husky a inner wheel well liners. I think I'd have rather gotten these (minus the chrome)

Beautiful flaps!! The bright stainless suites your truck. I put the same ones on mine but got the powder coated black uppers with a black lower plate. The sweet thing about those brackets is that they can be used with either the stainless steel offset upper like you and I have or you can attach their rubber Gatorback to it which is a way less expensive option but still a no body drill. My sister went that route on her's and they still look killer.

I just installed the Husky wheel well liners on my truck as well. I was just getting ready to decide on mud flaps. Can you post pics of yours and show why they don't work?

The Weathertech flaps will work with the Husky Liners. It's just a little bit of a pain to install them. I wish I'd installed the mudflaps first. Just make sure that the clamp on the mudflap grabs the fender and not the fender+wheel liner. I might have a photo of my first (incorrect) installation.
