The actual order of the words in the phrase is reverse of what the phrase actually means....

GOOD GOD!!!

Talk about a brain lapse!! You are 100% correct sir! Wow, I have no idea why I transposed the meaning of that phrase! Yikes! Bad D.Wiggs! Bad D.Wiggs!

I loved my bushwacker flares!! But the toyo's still flipped mud everywhere!! Even with mud flaps all's it would of done was keep the mud off the tips.

I've got bushwacker flares and 14" wide Airhawk mudflaps. I travel on alot of gravel roads and they do a great job protecting my truck. I mounted the front ones quite low to the ground, as that's the only way to get any decent protection. I just tie them back with a removable set of small chains anytime I go offroad.

I have the Bushwhacker flares and the factory molded mudflaps. I just took the fronts and put them on the back and the backs on the front. It was like they were made to fit. Looks mint.
