Best mud flaps

[fossil]

Glad you happy with them, only point was it costs more to manufacturer the Weathertechs, there's absolutely no justification for RBs prices.

my point is you have an opinion which I don't agree with, now what

Mabett.
Easy to install, using the truck's original plastic anchors, and no logos. I know there are other logo-less options, but Mabett flaps were inexpensive and very easy to install.

None of the anchors has come loose yet and I've washed the mud off of the flaps many times at the manual high-pressure car wash.

Mud flaps: Mabett. $30 +/-
Floor mats: Sam's Club. $20
Or . . . y'all can make some CEO happy by making their boat payment.

I installed the Ford mud flaps when I bought the truck 2 month's ago. No issues I've seen so far.

Any recommendations on the best mud flaps that won’t scratch up the paint?

Installed WeatehrTech 10 month ago. No issues with paint.
Bought these to test. they are longer and 4x times cheaper

Mabett mud flaps. They don't wraparound/overlap the sides so won't damage the paint over time.

I had the Muslogy on for a few months, but they wraparound the sides, and the gap between the mudflap and the paint filled with dust/dirt.

i second this and they are bendy on the bottom so they can take a little whack from something without cracking.

I like my Mabett’s. They don’t touch the paint like the OEM ones, and the price was good. Similar to other mud flaps, they don’t fully cover the infamous gap on the driver side rear wheel well, but that’s the truck’s “design issue,” not a mudflap.

Are the Mabetts the only ones that don’t touch the paint?

From reports on here the Rocblokz do not touch the paint, and the basic generic made to fit types do not either.

thanks. Hard to do search for this when it involves multiple words to search.

I am not sure about the Weathertech brand.

I paid $33 for the Mabett which was a no brainer choice for me.

They seem to be 39.99 now not big deal compared to the rockblox they’re expensive. lol

I wanted the Rocblokz but there was no way I was going to pay what they are getting for them.

Other brands also don’t touch the paint, but other forum members would need to provide their own experience. I have only used Mabett. I believe Rockblox was another “no touch” style, as others have mentioned.

I just made and added a wheel well “extension” that I fashioned from an old wheel well liner from a completely different unrelated vehicle. I cut and attached it to 3 “factory” holes with existing fasteners, plus added two more holes into the top lip of the Mabett to lock the new piece in place. The green lines are around the new piece. It’s already dirty and otherwise hard to tell (Minnesota winters and all). It’s held in place via 2 of the metal 7mm mud flap bolts, and by 3 push-in style plastic fasteners. Two of these push pins are what I added via drilling 2 holes into the top of the Mabett (seen in 1st photo).

And I’ll be the first to admit, it’s a challenging area to take a photo of. In the first photo, the camera is under the exhaust tip looking forward. Second photo, the camera is on top the tire looking backwards and down.

no worries, pics are great. I understand exactly what you’re doing with the filler piece. I just need to find some scrap rubber should have some at work.

I liked your idea and since I finally get a set of Mabetts, I followed your example. I'm can be a bit of a packrat, so I didn't throw away the rectangles I had to cut out of the bedliner when I added the side cubbies a few months ago. I remember setting the cutout piece aside thinking I might find a use for it someday. I also had a box of the plastic rivets that I had purchased after a new teenage driver in our house checked a curb and removed some of the plastic undercarriage on another car (nice to have by the way - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L6FJGR4/)

I like the Mabetts, especially at their price. I know they are trying to stay "no drill", but I felt much better adding some additional plastic rivets toward the inside of the wheel well. Luckily, each area has a nice place to attached it to existing plastic (except for the "Ford hole" on the drivers rear). That one has the additional panel from the bedliner. The others just had one rivet added. Hopefully my picture make sense. In the rear, they sit in the box like recess mud flap. I'm happy with the result.
