Mud Flaps, Yes or No.

Whats your opinion? I kinda like them..... they're fun to watch in your mirror, they flap around.





Yes, I need to shut my door. Yes, I need new cab-mounts.

Re: Mud Flaps, Yes or No.

that's trucker through and through. I like it. Some of the trailer-queens here in California have to rock flaps, and it not too nice on the eyes. these are the guys running 40"+ boggers with 18" lift kits

Re: Mud Flaps, Yes or No.

I think they look good on there. My flatbed has a set that are 18" by 24" and have Granbury Welding stamped in 'em. I have an old set of 'em from Napa that are even bigger and would probably drag the ground.

Re: Mud Flaps, Yes or No.

Good to know I got a lotta thumbs up

These where originally 36" tall about 30" wide, I cut them down to fit and there they are

I do agree it would look better as a dually.
