Mud Flaps?
Here is a question I’ve been toiling over. Mud flaps or not… If so what kind? Let’s see some pics of your K5/Truck with mud flaps. And if you remember what they are or where you got them let us know.

Re: Mud Flaps?
In Utah, if your truck is lifted or has oversize tires, you're required to have mud flaps. Mine are just rubber flaps mounted on the forward edge of the rear bumper. They were there when I bought the truck. I can get pics if you want.

Re: Mud Flaps?
That would be great. I guess my main reason for putting them on would be to try and protect the paint from rocks and mud. Dose anyone else ave mud flaps on their truck?

Re: Mud Flaps?
OK, so they're not much. Mostly they just get me past the inspection.

Re: Mud Flaps?
No mud flaps here. Trucks in AZ have to have them but SUV'S don't. Since it qualifies as a SUV I will never put then on my rig as long as I don't have to.

Re: Mud Flaps?
bigbad- your mudflaps look like a elaphant rolled in the mud while wearing a bib. u should just call them flaps since they dont stop any mud

Re: Mud Flaps?
I am considering to put on mud flaps too, in stead of the running boards I had on. But I want to see some pics of K20's or simular before I go for it.
I also want to mount side steps then.. any pics guys?
