husky mudflaps

I need to get some mudflaps for my dually. I want a matching set for the front and rear. I was checking out the husky mudflaps, anyone using these?

I have the Husky Liners molded splash guards on my truck. Installed the guards about six years ago and no complaints.

Yeah. Make sure you use the clear plastic paint protectors. You'll get paint damage eventually if you don't, where the mudflap rubs the fender.

Did you install it yet? I'm searching for some installation guides.

No big deal, really. They are made to use the same holes your inner wheel well panels and trim use. I didn't have to drill any holes at all. They give you clear plastic stick-on paint protector strips that you need to stick to the area where the hard plastic mudflap will rub. Clean off the area where the protector goes with a cleaner that will not leave a residue, then do a "dry run" with the mudflap before you remove the protector's backing, to make sure you know exactly where it needs to go. You might even lightly mark where it goes with a pencil. Then remove the backing and stick the protector in place. Remove any air bubbles with a needle. Now install the mudflap. Voila! You're done.

Now that I'm thinking about it, seems like the protectors might have been decals you have to soak in water to apply. I might be wrong, though. If so, just drop them into warm water for a few seconds to loosen the back, then wipe a wet rag on the area where it goes. Lay the protector into place and slip the backing out from underneath. rub and squeege the water and air from under the protector. Use a needle to remove any air bubbles.

I like mine. I got both front and rear mudflaps. They fit well and keep most of the mud off my door step and rear fenders. The only negative I have found is that the rears might not be long enough on our Dodges to protect against rocks from the rears hitting a vehicle behind.
